Contrary to common understanding and state-of-the-art models, we experimentally observe that randomly oriented phases possess non-hydrostatic residual stress. Moreover, we disclose that the unreinforced matrix alloy stays under hydrostatic compression even under external uniaxial compression. The recently developed modeling approach allows calculating the residual stress in all phases of the composites. It rationalizes the presence of deviatoric stresses accounting for the interaction of random oriented phases with fibers having preferential orientation. It also allows the explanation of the unconventional in-situ behavior of the unreinforced alloy and the prediction of the micromechanical behavior of other similar alloys.

If laser powder bed fusion is used to produce components, the complexity level increases because meso-structures (e.g., overhanging features, surface and internal defects) gain importance. Furthermore, if the main advantage of additive manufacturing, i.e., the freedom of design, is to be fully exploited, and geometrically complex structures, such as lattices, are manufactured, then such structures become meta-materials. This means that the geometry and the materials properties become equally important. This matryoshka-like (more literary than the dry “multi-scale”) complexity makes the characterization of the residual stress fields by means of diffraction methods so difficult with the current means, that new paradigms are necessary to tackle the challenge. Indeed, classic open problems acquire an extra layer of difficulty, such that new solutions need to be found and the sometimes-dormant debate needs to be re-opened. Examples include the determination of: a- the unstrained reference: this reference can become location-dependent and needs to be carefully determined; b- the so-called diffraction elastic constants, which becomes immensely challenging since even the single-crystal elastic constants are not known for additively manufactured materials. On top of this, other problems arise. The determination of the principal axes of stress becomes non-trivial because the hatching strategy sometimes dominates over the sample geometry. Even further, in complex structures, such as lattices, the textbook statement that the strain measurement in six independent directions uniquely identifies the strain tensor becomes simply invalid. The peculiar surface features of additively manufactured materials transform trivial tasks into formidable challenges: the precise alignment of a specimen in a beam or the determination of surface stresses with laboratory X-rays need to be thoroughly re-discussed and lay far from being routine tasks. In this paper, we will show a few examples of the cases mentioned above. We will demonstrate that sometimes the classic approach works very well, but other times surprising conclusions can be drawn from in-depth studies of the residual stress in additively manufactured materials. In short, we predicate that classic methods cannot be used on additively manufactured materials and structures without a critical evaluation of their validity and application range.

In order to cast light on the reinforcement and damage processes in such multi-phase composites, an Al alloy with one and two ceramic reinforcements (planar-random oriented alumina fibers and SiC particles) were studied. In-situ compression tests during neutron diffraction experiments were used to track the load transfer among phases, while X-ray computed tomography was used to investigate pre-strained samples, in order to monitor and quantify damage. We found that damage progresses differently in composites with different orientations of the fiber mat. Because of the presence of the intermetallic network, it was observed that the second ceramic reinforcement changes the load transfer scenario only at very high applied load, when also intermetallic particles break. We rationalized the experimental results by means of a micromechanical model based on Maxwell’s homogenization scheme, and we could explain why no damage is observed in the ductile matrix under compression: the matrix finds itself in hydrostatic compression, and the Poisson’s tensile strain is totally carried by the reinforcement phases T2 - CIMTEC CY - Perugia, Italy DA - 20.06.2022 KW - Load transfer KW - Neutron Diffraction KW - Michromechanical modeling KW - Computed Tomography KW - Machine Learning PY - 2022 AN - OPUS4-55404 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Mishurova, Tatiana A1 - Fritsch, Tobias A1 - Jahn, Anne A1 - Pavasaryte, Lina A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - Quantitative surface quality evaluation by X-ray Computed Tomography N2 - The poor surface quality is one of the challenges in powder based additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. It limits the application of the components in as-manufactured condition and requires the post-processing machining techniques, increasing costs and diminishing the advantage of the free form fabrication. It is important to characterize the surface roughness of the part as it might affect the tolerances and the mechanical behavior of the material. For the AM components the usage of classic characterization techniques becomes very challenging and even impossible, when internal channels, fine and complex shapes structures are under investigation. In such cases, X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) is the only tool to evaluate the structure inside nondestructively. In this work, the application of surface quality analysis workflow using high-resolution XCT is presented. The analysis of surface topography includes the quantitative characterization of “re-entrant” surface features. This characterization is based on the evaluation of the triangulated surface generated based on the XCT data and was compared with conventional surface roughness parameters (e.g., Sa and Sz). The strength of the presented workflow is the application on arbitrary surfaces without geometrical limitations allowing real as-build investigation. This will be discussed on the example of both, simple cylindrical struts to present the principals, and the application to the Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) structures. The analysis of the struts allows conclusions about the influence of down-skin and up-skin on surface quality. The results indicate that the surface quality is a factor of 2 worse for a build angle of 30° compared to an up-right build (90°). The investigation of TPMS structures is focused on the optimization of process parameter of geometrically complex samples regarding the surface quality. The challenge was an automated and user-independent comparison of several TPMS structures. The correlation of surface quality with process parameters (e.g., Laser power, laser velocity) is presented.
