The residual stresses in subsurface region of two elongated prisms in as-built condition and after removal from the base plate were determined. One sample was directly built on a base plate and another one on a support structure. Also, the distortion on the top surface due to stress release was measured by contact profilometry. High tensile residual stress values were found, with pronounced stress gradient along the hatching direction. In the sample on support, stress redistribution took place after removal from the base plate, as opposed to simple stress relaxation for the sample without support. The sample on support structure showed larger distortion compared to sample without support. We conclude that the use of a support decreases stress values but stress-relieving heat treatments are still needed.}, language = {en} } @article{NadammalCabezaMishurovaetal.2017, author = {Nadammal, Naresh and Cabeza, Sandra and Mishurova, Tatiana and Thiede, Tobias and Kromm, Arne and Seyfert, Christoph and Farahbod, Lena and Haberland, Christoph and Schneider, Judith Ann and Portella, Pedro Dolabella and Bruno, Giovanni}, title = {Effect of hatch length on the development of microstructure, texture and residual stresses in selective laser melted superalloy Inconel 718}, series = {Materials \& Design}, volume = {134}, journal = {Materials \& Design}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0264-1275}, doi = {10.1016/j.matdes.2017.08.049}, pages = {139 -- 150}, year = {2017}, abstract = {In the present study, samples fabricated by varying the deposition hatch length during selective laser melting of nickel based superalloy Inconel 718 were investigated. Microstructure and texture of these samples was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, combined with electron back-scattered diffraction, and residual stress assessment, using neutron diffraction method. Textured columnar grains oriented along the sample building direction were observed in the shorter hatch length processed sample. A ten-fold increase in the hatch length reduced the texture intensity by a factor of two attributed to the formation of finer grains in the longer hatch length sample. Larger gradients of transverse residual stress in the longer hatch length sample were also observed. Along the build direction, compressive stresses in the shorter hatch length and negligible stresses for the longer hatch length specimen were observed. Changes to the temperature gradient (G) in response to the hatch length variation, influenced the G to growth rate (R) ratio and the product GxR, in agreement with the microstructures and textures formed. For the residual stress development, geometry of the part also played an important role. In summary, tailored isotropy could be induced in Inconel 718 by a careful selection of parameters during selective laser melting.}, language = {en} } @article{NadammalMishurovaFritschetal.2021, author = {Nadammal, Naresh and Mishurova, Tatiana and Fritsch, Tobias and Serrano-Munoz, Itziar and Kromm, Arne and Haberland, Christoph and Portella, Pedro Dolabella and Bruno, Giovanni}, title = {Critical role of scan strategies on the development of microstructure, texture, and residual stresses during laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing}, series = {Additive manufacturing}, volume = {38}, journal = {Additive manufacturing}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {2214-8604}, doi = {10.1016/j.addma.2020.101792}, pages = {13}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Laser based powder bed fusion additive manufacturing offers the flexibility to incorporate standard and user-defined scan strategies in a layer or in between the layers for the customized fabrication of metallic components. In the present study, four different scan strategies and their impact on the development of microstructure, texture, and residual stresses in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of a nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 was investigated. Light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with electron back-scatter diffraction, and neutron diffraction were used as the characterization tools. Strong textures with epitaxially grown columnar grains were observed along the build direction for the two individual scan strategies. Patterns depicting the respective scan strategies were visible in the build plane, which dictated the microstructure development in the other planes. An alternating strategy combining the individual strategies in the successive layers and a 67 degrees rotational strategy weakened the texture by forming finer micro-structural features. Von Mises equivalent stress plots revealed lower stress values and gradients, which translates as lower distortions for the alternating and rotational strategies. Overall results confirmed the scope for manipulating the microstructure, texture, and residual stresses during laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing by effectively controlling the scan strategies.}, language = {en} } @article{ThiedeCabezaMishurovaetal.2018, author = {Thiede, Tobias and Cabeza, Sandra and Mishurova, Tatiana and Nadammal, Naresh and Kromm, Arne and Bode, Johannes and Haberland, Christoph and Bruno, Giovanni}, title = {Residual Stress in Selective Laser Melted Inconel 718}, series = {Materials performance and characterization}, volume = {7}, journal = {Materials performance and characterization}, number = {4}, publisher = {American Society for Testing and Materials}, address = {West Conshohocken}, issn = {2379-1365}, doi = {10.1520/MPC20170119}, pages = {717 -- 735}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The residual stress distribution in IN718 elongated prisms produced by selective laser melting was studied by means of neutron (bulk) and laboratory X-ray (surface) diffraction.

A horizontal plane near the top surface (perpendicular to the building direction) and a vertical plane near the lateral surface (parallel to the building direction) were investigated. Samples both in as-built (AB) condition and removed from the base plate (RE) were characterized. While surface stress fields seem constant for the AB condition, X-ray diffraction shows stress gradients along the hatch direction in the RE condition. The stress profiles correlate with the distortion maps obtained by tactile probe measurements. Neutron diffraction shows bulk stress gradients for all principal components along the main sample directions. We correlate the observed stress patterns with the hatch length, i.e., with its effect on temperature gradients and heat flow. The bulk stress gradients partially disappear after removal from the base plate.}, language = {en} }
