Consequently, parts built with different process parameters tend to have different levels of crystallographic texture, residual stress, and dislocation density. These features can influence the properties of the material and their development during post-processing operations. In this study, IN718 prisms were built by laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) using two different scanning strategies (continuous 67° rotations around the build direction, ROT, and alternating 0°/67° scans, ALT) to provide two different as-built conditions. In situ time-resolved synchrotron diffraction was performed during a solution heat treatment at 1027 °C for 1 h. Ex situ scanning electron microscopy was used to support and complement the in situ observations. An approach to quantify the effect of elemental microsegregation at the cell walls is developed based on the deconvolution of asymmetric γ-nickel matrix peaks. Following this approach, the scanning strategies are shown to affect the as-built fraction of cell walls in the material, resulting in a difference of approximately 5 %, in weight fraction, between ROT and ALT (19 % vs. 24 %, respectively). This microsegregation was observed to be rapidly homogenized during the heating ramp, and no significant changes to the peak shape in the γ peaks occurred during the isothermal part of the heat treatment, regardless of the scanning strategy.

In this study, the individual effect of these factors on fatigue performance at elevated temperature (300 °C) was evaluated. Material in as-built condition and subjected to post-processing, including two heat treatments and hot isostatic pressing, was investigated. It was found that in the absence of tensile RS, the fatigue life at elevated temperature is primary controlled by the defects; and densification has a much stronger effect than the considered heat treatments on the improvement of the mechanical performance.

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.
