Effect of build geometry and orientation on microstructure and properties of additively manufactured 316L stainless steel by laser metal deposition
摘要： The effect of build geometry and orientation on the microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured AISI 316L stainless steel was studied. For this an integrated laser metal deposition system was used to build two test blocks, Block 1 and Block 2, such that Block 1 had its longest dimension parallel to the build direction while Block 2 had its longest dimension perpendicular to the build direction. Samples with different orientations with respect to the build direction were extracted from the two blocks and characterized in detail. Block 1 was found to have a coarser defect-free microstructure, while Block 2 had a finer microstructure with extensive inter-track/layer defects. The yield strengths and tensile strengths of Block 2 samples were higher than Block 1 samples, but their strain hardening capacities and ductility values were lower. These differences in microstructure and mechanical properties were shown to be an outcome of the different build rates and consequent thermal histories of the two blocks. In order to explain the variation of yield strength with sample orientation, an alternate measure for grain size called “effective grain size” was introduced, which revealed the effect of grain orientation on the mean free path for dislocation motion and hence yield/flow stress. Variation of yield strength with the effective grain size was found to follow Hall-Petch behaviour.

The Effects of Feature Sizes in Selectively Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V Parts on the Validity of Optimised Process Parameters
摘要： Ti-6Al-4V is a popular alloy due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Many applications of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V using selective laser melting (SLM) have reached technology readiness. However, issues linked with metallurgical di?erences in parts manufactured by conventional processes and SLM persist. Very few studies have focused on relating the process parameters to the macroscopic and microscopic properties of parts with di?erent size features. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the e?ect of the size of features on the density, hardness, microstructural evolution, and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V parts fabricated using a ?xed set of parameters. It was found that there is an acceptable range of sizes that can be produced using a ?xed set of parameters. Beyond a speci?c window, the relative density decreased. Upon decreasing the size of a cuboid from (5 × 5 × 5 mm) to (1 × 1 × 5 mm), porosity increased from 0.3% to 4.8%. Within a suitable size range, the microstructure was not signi?cantly a?ected by size; however, a major change was observed outside the acceptable size window. The size of features played a signi?cant role in the variation of mechanical properties. Under tensile loading, decreasing the gauge size, the ultimate and yield strengths deteriorated. This investigation, therefore, presents an understanding of the correlation between the feature size and process parameters in terms of the microscopic and macroscopic properties of Ti-6Al-4V parts manufactured using SLM. This study also highlights the fact that any set of optimized process parameters will only be valid within a speci?c size window.
