Micromechanical Modeling of AlSi10Mg Processed by Laser-Based Additive Manufacturing: From as-Built to Heat-Treated Microstructures
(2022-08-13)
The unique microstructure of the alloy AlSi10Mg produced by the laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) provides high-strength and high-strain-hardening capabilities of the material. The microstructure and mechanical properties of 3D-printed, i.e., additively manufactured, AlSi10Mg are significantly altered by post-building heat-treatment processes applied in order to tailor the final properties of the parts. Using an accurate computational model to predict and improve the mechanical performance of 3D-printed ...

Influence of the Miniaturisation Effect on the Effective Stiffness of Lattice Structures in Additive Manufacturing
(2020-10-29)
Thin-walled and cellular structures are characterised by superior lightweight potential due to their advantageous stiffness to weight ratio. They find particular interest in the field of additive manufacturing due to robust and reproducible manufacturability. However, the mechanical performance of such structures strongly depends on the manufacturing process and resultant geometrical imperfections such as porosity, deviations in strut thickness or surface roughness, for which an understanding of their influence is ...

The Effect of Fiber Waviness on the Residual Stress State and Its Prediction by the Hole Drilling Method in Fiber Metal Laminates: A Global-Local Finite Element Analysis
(2021-01-15)
In this paper, fiber waviness, as one of the most frequently occurring defects in fiber reinforced composites, is numerically investigated with regard to the formation of residual stresses in fiber metal laminates. Furthermore, the prediction of the residual stress state in the thickness direction by means of the simulated hole drilling method is studied. To this regard, a global-local finite element analysis based on the submodel technique is presented. The submodel technique essentially consists of two governing ...

Cyclic Crack Growth in Chemically Tailored Isotropic Austenitic Steel Processed by Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
(2021-11-01)
The present study analyzes the cyclic crack propagation behavior in an austenitic steel processed by electron beam powder bed fusion (PBF-EB). The threshold value of crack growth as well as the crack growth behavior in the Paris regime were studied. In contrast to other austenitic steels, the building direction during PBF-EB did not affect the crack propagation rate, i.e., the crack growth rates perpendicular and parallel to the building direction were similar due to the isotropic microstructure characterized by ...

Linking through-thickness cracks in metallic thin films to in-situ electrical resistance peak broadening
(2022-01-29)
Measurements of electrical resistance have been used extensively as a failure criterion in cyclically loaded conductive films. However, not much research has been performed on extracting additional information contained within such resistance data sets. This study shows that an increase in peak width evidences a transition from cracks bridging to through-thickness crack formation. A Au/Cr bilayer system on a polyimide substrate is used for data generation but the method is applicable to any material system where both ...

Additive Manufacturing of 3D Luminescent ZrO2:Eu3+ Architectures
(2022-04-27)
Implementation of more refined structures at the nano to microscale is expected to advance applications in optics and photonics. This work presents the additive manufacturing of 3D luminescent microarchitectures emitting light in the visible range. A tailor-made organo-metallic resin suitable for two-photon lithography is developed, which upon thermal treatment in an oxygen-rich atmosphere allows the creation of silicon-free tetragonal (t-) and monoclinic (m-) ZrO₂. The approach is unique because the tailor-made ...

Damage Tolerance Evaluation of E-PBF-Manufactured Inconel 718 Strut Geometries by Advanced Characterization Techniques
(2020-01-06)
By means of electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF), highly complex lightweight structures can be manufactured within short process times. Due to the increasing complexity of producible components and the entangled interplay of damage mechanisms, common bulk material properties such as ultimate tensile or fatigue strength are not sufficient to guarantee safe and reliable use in demanding applications. Within this work, the damage tolerance of E-PBF-manufactured Ni-based alloy Inconel 718 (IN 718) strut geometries ...

Structural reorientation and compaction of porous MoS₂ coatings during wear testing
(2022-04-02)
Industrial upscaling frequently results in a different coating microstructure than the laboratory prototypes presented in the literature. Here, we investigate the wear behavior of physical vapor deposited (PVD) MoS2 coatings: A dense, nanocrystalline MoS2 coating, and a porous, prismatic-textured MoS2 coating. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations before and after wear testing evidence a crystallographic reorientation towards a basal texture in both samples. A basal texture is usually desirable due ...

Tribological Performance of Additively Manufactured AISI H13 Steel in Different Surface Conditions
(2021-02-16)
Additive manufacturing of metallic tribological components offers unprecedented degrees of freedom, but the surface roughness of most as-printed surfaces impedes the direct applicability of such structures, and postprocessing is necessary. Here, the tribological performance of AISI H13 steel samples was studied. These were additively manufactured through laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF), also referred to as selective laser melting (SLM). Samples were tested in four different surface conditions: as-printed, polished, ...

Additive Manufacturing of Compositionally-Graded AISI 316L to CoCrMo Structures by Directed Energy Deposition
(2021-08-30)
In the present study, compositionally-graded structures of AISI 316L and CoCrMo alloy are manufactured by powder-based laser-beam directed energy deposition (DED-LB). Through a process-integrated adjustment of powder flow, in situ alloying of the two materials becomes feasible. Thus, a sharp and a smooth transition with a mixture of both alloys can be realized. In order to investigate the phase formation during in situ alloying, a simulation approach considering equilibrium calculations is employed. The findings ...
