TY - CONF A1 - Ávila Calderón, Luis T1 - Cyclic Deformation Behavior of Laser Powder Bed Fused Stainless Steel 316L Role of the Manufacturing Induced Cell Structure N2 - The cyclic deformation behavior of an austenitic 316L stainless steel produced by laser powder bed fusion in two heat treated conditions and featuring a low defect population is presented. Strain controlled push/pull tests were performed between room temperature and 600 °C. The PBF‑LB/M/316L exhibits an initial cyclic hardening, followed by a cyclic softening. The grade of softening decreases (i) with increasing test temperature and (ii) after a partial dissolution of its dislocation substructure through heat treatment. The deformation behavior and its dependency on test temperature and heat-treated/microstructural condition are attributed to the slip character and related changes. With either a partially dissolved dislocation substructure or increasing test temperature the material exhibits typical wavy slip characteristics. In the opposite case, the deformation mechanism seems to be rather planar dislocation slip as the formation of slip planes spanning through entire grains was observed, seemingly acting as pathways of easy dislocation movement.

However, to achieve broad industrial application as AM technology, more data and knowledge about the fabricated materials regarding the achieved properties and their relationship to the manufacturing process and the resulting microstructure is still needed. In this work, we present data regarding the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of Ti-6Al-4V. The material was fabricated using an optimized DED-L process. It features a low defect population and excellent tensile properties. To assess its LCF behavior two conventionally manufactured variants of the same alloy featuring different microstructures were additionally tested. The strain-controlled LCF tests were carried out in fully reversed mode with 0.3 % to 1.0 % axial strain amplitude from room temperature up to 400°C. The LCF behavior and failure mechanisms are described. For characterization, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and micro-computed tomography (µCT) were used. The low defect population allows for a better understanding of the intrinsic material’s properties and enables a fairer comparison against the conventional variants. The fatigue lifetimes of the DED-L material are nearly independent of the test temperature. At elevated test temperatures, they are similar or higher than the lifetimes of the conventional counterparts. At room temperature, they are only surpassed by the lifetimes of one of them. The principal failure mechanism involves multiple crack initiation sites.
