Investigation of processing windows in additive manufacturing of AlSi10Mg for faster production utilizing data-driven modeling
(2022-04-29)
To reduce production time and decrease production cost, the increase of layer thickness is an adequate option in powder bed fusion. In order to determine the relationships between process parameters in laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) and final porosity in AlSi10Mg, samples were processed following a space-filling experimental design in the present study. A total of 144 samples were fabricated considering layer thicknesses of 30 µm, 45 µm, 60 µm, and 90 µm. Afterwards, porosity was assessed using image analysis and ...

Influence of Surface Mechanical Attrition Treatment (SMAT) on Microstructure, Tensile and Low-Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Additively Manufactured Stainless Steel 316L
(2023-08-29)
Direct Energy Deposition (DED), as one common type of additive manufacturing, is capable of fabricating metallic components close to net-shape with complex geometry. Surface mechanical attrition treatment (SMAT) is an advanced surface treatment technology which is able to yield a nanostructured surface layer characterized by compressive residual stresses and work hardening, thereby improving the fatigue performances of metallic specimens. In the present study, stainless steel 316L specimens were fabricated by DED and ...

On the influence of ϰ-carbides on the low-cycle fatigue behavior of high-Mn light-weight steels
(2021)
High-manganese light-weight steels offer a great potential for structural purposes in the mobility sector due to their reduced density combined with outstanding mechanical properties. As many of the envisaged applications of these materials will suffer from cyclic loading during their service life, the fundamentals of their fatigue behavior must be studied extensively. In the present work, the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) properties of an austenitic Fe-29.8Mn-7.65Al-1.11C light-weight steel were investigated. Two ...

On the structural integrity of Fe-36Ni Invar alloy processed by selective laser melting
(2020)
Specimens made from pre-alloyed Invar (Fe-36Ni) powder were fabricated by selective laser melting and stress-relief heat treated afterwards. A relative density of the fabricated parts of 99.6 % was determined by computed tomography. The microstructure and mechanical behavior under monotonic and particularly cyclic loading at ambient temperature were investigated. Results reveal a bimodal microstructure containing columnar and equiaxed grains with an average grain size of 75 μm and pronounced texture 〈001〉 || BD. The ...

Dynamic Tensile Deformation of High Strength Aluminum Alloys Processed Following Novel Thermomechanical Treatment Strategies
(2020-05-14)
Herein, the effects of a very recently introduced novel thermomechanical process route on the microstructural evolution and dynamic tensile deformation behavior of two different precipitation hardenable aluminum alloys, i.e., AA6082 and AA7075, are studied. The investigated materials are hot formed and quenched in differently tempered tools to reveal the influence of cooling rate. Microstructure analysis is conducted to study the influences of different cooling strategies on the microstructure evolution and prevailing ...

Effect of Compositional Variation Induced by EBM Processing on Deformation Behavior and Phase Stability of Austenitic Cr-Mn-Ni TRIP Steel
(2020-01-24)
Electron beam melting (EBM) is an established powder bed-based additive manufacturing process for the fabrication of complex-shaped metallic components. For metastable austenitic Cr-Mn-Ni TRIP steel, the formation of a homogeneous fine-grained microstructure and outstanding damage tolerance have been reported. However, depending on the process parameters, a certain fraction of Mn evaporates. This can have a significant impact on deformation mechanisms as well as kinetics, as was previously shown for as-cast material. ...

On the Monotonic and Cyclic Behavior of an Al-Mg-Zn-Cu-Si Compositionally Complex Alloy
(2023-08-03)
In present work, the monotonic and cyclic properties of a novel Al-Mg-Zn-Cu-Si compositionally complex alloy (CCA) are investigated. Microstructural studies reveal that a eutectic phase and fishbone-type structures are embedded in the Al-matrix. The mechanical properties of this CCA obtained under compressive loading are found to be promising. However, low ultimate strength and brittle behavior are seen under tension. The fatigue performance of the alloy in the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) regime is poor. Microstructural ...

Experimental Analysis of the Stability of Retained Austenite in a Low-Alloy 42CrSi Steel after Different Quenching and Partitioning Heat Treatments
(2023-06-21)
Quenching and partitioning (Q&P) steels are characterized by an excellent combination of strength and ductility, opening up great potentials for advanced lightweight components. The Q&P treatment results in microstructures with a martensitic matrix being responsible for increased strength whereas interstitially enriched metastable retained austenite (RA) contributes to excellent ductility. Herein, a comprehensive experimental characterization of microstructure evolution and austenite stability is carried out on a ...

Electron Beam Welding of Hot-Rolled Fe–Mn–Al–Ni Shape Memory Alloy Sheets
(2023-04-25)
The present study focuses on the weldability of hot-rolled Fe–Mn–Al–Ni shape memory alloy sheets by vacuum electron beam welding. Tailored process-specific welding parameters, such as preheating with electron beam or beam oscillation during welding, allowed defect-free joining with very thin weld seams and heat-affected zones. By applying a post-weld cyclic heat treatment, abnormal grain growth can be promoted across the weld seams. However, regardless of the selected welding parameters, some specimens are characterized ...

Low-Cycle-Fatigue Performance of Stress-Aged EN AW-7075 Alloy
(2023-05-05)
The effect of a novel heat treatment, that is, aging under superimposed external stress, on the fatigue performance and microstructural evolution of a high-strength aluminum alloy (EN AW-7075) is presented. Stress aging, a combination of heat treatment and superimposed external stress, can enhance the mechanical properties of EN AW-7075 under monotonic loading due to the acceleration of precipitation kinetics. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) reveal that a longer ...
