Um die Integration in bestehende Baugruppen zu ermöglichen und Bauraumbeschränkungen zu überwinden, muss die Prozesskette der additiven Fertigung um geeignete Fügetechniken erweitert werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich daher mit dem Schweißen von Inconel 939. Hierbei werden Bleche aus Gussmaterial und der additiven Herstellung mittels Laser im Pulverbett beim Elektronenstrahlschweißen verglichen. Im Fokus der Untersuchung stehen die erreichbare Nahtqualität im Hinblick auf geometrische Unregelmäßigkeiten sowie innere Defekte in Form von Mikrorissen in der Wärmeeinflusszone. Bei der Auswertung der geschweißten Proben zeigen sich keine Unterschiede in der Ausbildung der Nahtform zwischen dem additiv gefertigten Material und dem Gusswerkstoff. Für beide Materialien ließ sich bei hohen Vorschubgeschwindigkeiten von 20 mm/s die höchste Bewertungsgruppe für Strahlgeschweißte Nähte nach DIN EN ISO 13919-1 erreichen. Unabhängig von der Herstellungsart zeigen beide Materialien eine Zunahme der Rissneigung mit steigendem Vorschub. Das Material aus der additiven Herstellung weist aufgrund seiner Mikrostruktur insgesamt jedoch deutlich weniger Mikrorisse auf, was Potenzial für die Anwendung in der Praxis eröffnet.

This study investigates the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of Alloy 247DS specimens with side-brazed PSP material, mimicking a typical sandwich structure formed during such repairs. FCG tests were conducted at an elevated temperature of 950 °C and a stress ratio (R) of 0.1 on specimens with PSP layer thicknesses of 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4.5 mm to assess the influence of PSP thickness on fatigue crack growth behavior. Fractographic and metallographic analyses were performed to elucidate the underlying crack growth mechanisms and the microstructural characteristics of both materials. The results revealed that a crack consistently initiated in the PSP material, originating from the starter notch, particularly at the specimen corner during the pre-cracking phase. Additionally, crack propagation in the PSP material consistently advanced ahead of the crack in the Alloy 247DS. This crack growth behavior is attributed to the difference in elastic properties and microstructural differences between the PSP and base material. Metallographic analysis revealed the presence of porosity and brittle precipitates within the PSP material, which led to faster intergranular crack growth. Conversely, Alloy 247DS exhibited transgranular crack growth, contributing to the observed crack propagation behavior. This study demonstrates the applicability of standard FCG testing methods and an approach to characterize the FCG behavior in sandwich specimens, where crack growth occurs simultaneously in both materials, providing a preliminary understanding of crack growth behavior in Alloy 247DS with side-brazed PSP.

However, inherent process-related defects in additively manufactured material, along with the interface created between the additively manufactured and the cast base material, impact the fatigue crack growth behavior in bi-material components. This study investigates the fatigue crack growth behavior in bi-material specimens of nickel-based alloys, specifically, additively manufactured STAL15 and cast alloy 247DS. The tests were conducted at 950 °C with stress ratios of 0.1 and −1. Metallographic and fractographic investigations were carried out to understand crack growth mechanisms. The results revealed significant retardation in crack growth at the interface. This study highlights the potential contributions of residual stresses and microstructural differences to the observed crack growth retardation phenomenon, along with the conclusion from an earlier study on the effect of yield strength mismatch on crack growth behavior at a perpendicular interface in bi-material specimens.
