The observations were performed in-situ using the Ultrafast Tomography Paris-Edinburgh Cell and the combination of fast phase-contrast synchrotron X-ray tomography and energy dispersive difraction. With this strategy, we could quantify how the efectiveness of HIP depends on the characteristics of a defect. Smaller defects showed a higher densifcation rate, while the defect shape did not have signifcant efect on such rate.

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 backscatter 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◦ rotational strategy weakened the texture by forming finer microstructural 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.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - Influence of a 265 °C heat treatment on the residual stress state of a PBF-LB/M AlSi10Mg alloy N2 - Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) additive manufacturing (AM) induces high magnitude residual stress (RS) in structures due to the extremely heterogeneous cooling and heating rates. As the RS can be deleterious to the fatigue resistance of engineering components, great efforts are focused on understanding their generation and evolution after post-process heat treatments. In this study, one of the few of its kind, the RS relaxation induced in an as-built PBF-LB/M AlSi10Mg material by a low-temperature heat treatment (265 °C for 1 h) is studied by means of X-ray and neutron diffraction. Since the specimens are manufactured using a baseplate heated up to 200 °C, low RS are found in the as-built condition. After heat treatment a redistribution of the RS is observed, while their magnitude remains constant. It is proposed that the redistribution is induced by a repartition of stresses between the a-aluminium matrix and the silicon phase, as the morphology of the silicon phase is affected by the heat treatment. A considerable scatter is observed in the neutron diffraction RS profiles, which is principally correlated to the presence (or absence) of pockets of porosity developed at the borders of the chessboard pattern.

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.

Specifically, we performed thermal treatments at different temperatures and times in an age-hardenable aluminum matrix composite 2014Al-15vol%Al2O3. Using X-ray synchrotron radiation diffraction and mechanical tests, we show that below a certain treatment temperature (250 °C) it is possible to identify an appropriate thermal treatment capable of relaxing residual stress in this composite while even increasing its yield strength, with respect to the as processed conditions.

This research aims to assess the consequences of various process-induced pores on the me chanical characteristics and deformation of PBF-LB/M-produced copper alloys. Several copper alloys were processed using metal-coated particles and varied laser intensities, yielding samples with different types and amounts of porosities. For instance, CuCrZr alloys processed at 325 J/mm³ and 257 J/mm³ had 0.009 % and 1.117 % porosities, dominated by keyhole and lack-of-fusion pores, respectively. Moreover, PBF-LB/M pro cessing of Cr- and Nb-coated CuNi3SiCr particles accompanied by the generation of 0.004 % and 1.861 % porosities within the samples, predominantly featuring metallurgical and oxidation pores, respectively. Compression and nanoindentation tests revealed that the CuNi3SiCr alloy exhibited superior mechanical properties compared to the CuCrZr sample (nanoindentation hardness values 2.2 GPa and 1.4 GPa, respectively), while the presence of lack-of-fusion pores notably diminished their mechanical performance. X-ray computed tomography (XCT) reconstruction slices and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were then used for developing the representative volume elements (RVEs) based micromechanical models. The micromechanical simulations established a structure-property correlation that can simulate the compressive deformation and mechanical characteristics of PBF-LB/M-produced copper alloys as a function of their incorporated pore characteristics. Due to the closure of the pores at the first stages of deformation, samples with minimal keyhole and metallurgical porosities exhibited homogeneous plastic deformation. On the other side, based on the JohnsonCook model, strain concentration and crack propagation around the lack-of-fusion pores lead to damage initi ation in the printed samples at a strain level of 5 % KW - X-ray Computed tomography KW - Defects KW - Copper alloys KW - PBF-LB/M KW - Micromechanics PY - 2025 UR - https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b43-624004 DO - https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2025.147836 SN - 0921-5093 VL - 924 PB - Elsevier B.V.

Two scanning strategies were analyzed along with three hatch distances (50 μm, 80 μm, and 110 μm). Using X-ray computed tomography (XCT), the study revealed different defect distributions: 90° alternating hatch scanning strategy resulted in a higher number of lack of fusion defects, while the chessboard strategy produced smaller, more uniformly distributed gas pores. The optimal hatch distance of 80 μm was found to minimize porosity and maximize tensile strength for both strategies. Mechanical testing supported these findings, showing that specimens printed with an 80 μm hatch distance exhibited better mechanical characteristics. This study highlights the critical role of scanning parameters in the quality and reliability of additively manufactured parts.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - New aspects about the search for the most relevant parameters optimizing SLM materials N2 - While the volumetric energy density is commonly used to qualify a process parameter set, and to quantify its influence on the microstructure and performance of additively manufactured (AM) materials and components, it has been already shown that this description is by no means exhaustive. In this work, new aspects of the optimization of the selective laser melting process are investigated for AM Ti-6Al-4V. We focus on the amount of near-surface residual stress (RS), often blamed for the failure of components, and on the porosity characteristics (amount and spatial distribution). First, using synchrotron x-ray diffraction we show that higher RS in the subsurface region is generated if a lower energy density is used. Second, we show that laser de-focusing and sample positioning inside the build chamber also play an eminent role, and we quantify this influence. In parallel, using X-ray Computed Tomography, we observe that porosity is mainly concentrated in the contour region, except in the case where the laser speed is small. The low values of porosity (less than 1%) do not influence RS.

A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - An assessment of bulk residual stress in selective laser melted Inconel 718 N2 - Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals has become industrially viable for a large variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive and medicine. Powder bed techniques such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) based on layer-by-layer deposition and laser melt enable numerous degrees of freedom for the geometrical design. Developing during the manufacturing process, residual stresses may limit the application of SLM parts by reducing the load bearing capacity as well as induce unwanted distortion depending on the boundary conditions specified in manufacturing. The residual stress distribution in the bulk of IN718 elongated prisms produced by SLM was studied non-destructively by means of neutron diffraction. The samples with different scanning strategies, i.e. hatching length, were measured in as-build condition (on a build plate) and after removal from the build plate. The absolute values of all stress components decreased after removal from the build plate. Together with surface scan utilizing a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM), it is possible to link the stress release to the sample distortion. Obtained results indicated different residual stress states for each of the transversal, longitudinal and normal component depending on the thermal gradient in the respective direction.

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.
