This study evaluates the Flash Heating (FH) method as an efficient approach for RS prediction, comparing its outcomes with multiple experimental techniques, including X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and layer removal methods. These experimental assessments are conducted in different regions of the component, both before and after detachment from the baseplate. The study validates the FH method and analyzes key numerical parameters, such as meta-layer height, contact time, and time-stepping strategies. Results indicate that FH effectively predicts bulk RS distributions but shows discrepancies in surface stress estimations, likely due to unaccounted factors like surface roughness. Additionally, implementing experimentally derived material properties from as-built AM samples significantly enhances model accuracy compared to conventional material datasets. These findings underscore the potential of FH for efficient RS prediction in PBF-LB while identifying areas for further improvement. Refinements should focus on incorporating anisotropic, temperature-dependent material behavior derived from as-built AM samples and surface roughness effects. This work advances the understanding of key factors necessary for accurate and computationally efficient RS prediction, supporting the optimization of AM processes.

Hybrid additive manufacturing based on Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) processes (DED-Arc) can be used to realise highly effi-cient component modifications and repairs on semi-finished products and additively manufactured structures.

The pre-sent research focuses the effect of welding heat control during DED-Arc process on the residual stresses, especially in the transition area. Defined specimens were welded fully automatically with a high-strength solid wire (yield strength > 790 MPa) especially adapted for DED-Arc on S690QL substrate. The working temperature and heat input were systematically varied for a statistical effect analysis on the residual stress state of the hybrid manufactured components. Regarding heat control, t8/5 cooling times within the recommended processing range (approx. 5 s to 20 s) were complied. The investiga-tion revealed a significant influence of the working temperature Ti on the compressive residual stresses in the transition area and the tensile residual stresses at the base of the substrate. High working temperatures result in lower compressive residual stresses, heat input E does not significantly affect the tensile stresses. T2 - 6.

In general, these residual stresses are considered deleterious during manufacturing and subsequent service operation. In several alloy classes including austenitic stainless steels and nickel alloys, tensile residual stresses are generated with magnitudes equal to the yield strength of the processed material depending on geometry and process parameters, which can be located at surfaces/subsurface of a built structure. Knowledge of the magnitude and location of these peak tensile residual stresses is crucial for optimizing in-process or post process mitigation strategies, validating process models, and for consideration in structural integrity assessments. Several diffraction-based approaches have been demonstrated to characterize the magnitude and location of the maximum tensile residual stresses. These approaches include laboratory X-ray diffraction with electrolytic layer removal, energy dispersive synchrotron diffraction and neutron diffraction onPBF-LB prisms of several alloys, resolving the position and magnitude of the peak tensile residual stress. This work provides important considerations when determining these peak tensile residual stresses in newly developed alloys,novel processing strategies and when using more standard residual stress analysis methods.

Subsequent machining is essential to achieve final geometries and surface conditions. The resulting surface integrity, particularly the near-surface residual stress state, plays a crucial role in component performance and fatigue life. This study inves-tigates the potential of ultrasonic-assisted milling (USAM), a hybrid machining process, to improve surface integrity and machinability compared to conventional milling (CM). Three materials were investigated, two difficult-to-cut materials CoCr26Ni9Mo5W and FeNi36 and a low-alloy steel S355J2C. The CoCr26Ni9Mo5W and FeNi36 were addi-tively manufactured via DED-Arc and then machined with varying cutting speeds and feed rates within a Design of Experiments. USAM exhibited enhanced machinability and surface integrity, particularly at low cutting speeds, by reducing cutting forces up to 40% and shifting near-surface residual stresses from tensile to compressive. For S355J2C, USAM reduced cutting forces by approximately 45% and induced surface-near compressive residual stresses up to approximately -700 MPa, leading to a 11% higher fatigue strength compared to CM. These findings highlight the advantages of ultrasonic assistance in post-AM machining, offering enhanced fatigue performance and surface quality for various metallic materials.

Additive manufacturing (AM), in particularly direct energy deposition with gas metal arc welding (DED-Arc), offers significant advantages in flex-ibility, production speed, and cost efficiency. In hybrid AM, conventionally manufac-tured parts are extended or modified using AM processes. Welding-induced residual stresses, especially in the transition area, pose challenges to structural integrity. This study investigates the influence of substrate design and thermal pretreatment on the residual stress state of hybrid AM components made from base material steel S690QL and a welding filler, a modified solid wire G79. Two substrate geometries (I- and T-substrate) are analysed, which are additively and conventionally manufactured, re-spectively. Results show that substrate geometry significantly affects local residual stresses, microstructure and hardness, particularly in the transition are. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the evolution of welding stresses in hybrid AM components to achieve reliable, crack-resistant and economic high-strength steel structures.

Large towers made of high-strength steel with a yield strength of up to 500 MPa are needed to use the mate-rial more efficiently, enabling thinner wall sections without compromising structural integrity. This places high demands on manufacturers, especially regarding welding high-strength offshore steels. Weld defects detected through non-destructive testing (NDT) must be repaired by gouging and rewelding during fabrication. For thick plate joints, there is a notable lack of research, repair strategies, and guidance in standards and guidelines. Safe and cost-effective repairs are urgently necessary to support manufacturers, particularly SMEs. This study focuses on high-strength thick plate joints made of offshore grades with a yield strength of 355 to 460 MPa, repaired us-ing optimised narrow gouging grooves and controlled high-performance GMAW pro-cesses. Experimental analyses examine the complex interaction between the welding process, material properties, and design influences on the formation of weld-induced residual stresses in high-strength fine-grain structural steels. To ensure the safety and performance of components, it is essential to prevent repair welding-related material degradation and the development of crack-critical residual tensile stresses. In this investigation, gouging was carried out using milling to ensure reproducibility. The restraint intensity of the groove significantly increases with a shorter groove length and a thicker substrate. The relaxation caused by the gouging process was ana-lysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) to examine the initial conditions for the subse-quent repair welding. The residual stresses induced by the repair welding were ana-lysed, and different groove configurations have been compared. With shorter groove lengths and wider opening angles, the residual stresses after the repair weld increase markedly for this analysed offshore steel. The lowest residual stresses can be achieved by increasing the groove length and reducing the opening angle for a repair weld with a modern, controlled welding process. Adapting the repair process and boundary conditions allows for the full utilisation of the material's potential. This makes a valuable contribution to the energy transition in Germany, especially for SMEs in the steel processing industry.

This study explores the effect of a range of stripe widths from 5 mm down to 0.2 mm to control solidification cracking, microstructure, and residual stress in CM247LC manufactured by PBF-LB. The decrease in melt pool depth with the reduction in stripe width from 5 to 0.2 mm promoted the < 100 > crystallographic texture along the build direction. The crack density measurements indicated that there is an increase from 0.62 mm/mm2 (5 mm) to 1.71 mm/mm2 (1 mm) followed by a decrease to 0.33 mm/mm2 (0.2 mm). Atom probe tomography investigations at high-angle grain boundaries revealed that there is higher Hf segregation in 0.2 mm stripe width when compared to 5 mm. This indicates that the cracking behavior is likely influenced by the grain boundary segregation which in turn is dependent on melt pool shape/size and mushy zone length indicated by accompanying simulations. Residual stress, measured by X-ray diffraction, decreased from 842 MPa (5 mm) to 690 MPa (1 mm), followed by an abnormal rise to 842 MPa (0.7 mm) and 875 MPa (0.5 mm). This residual stress behavior is likely associated with the cracks acting as a stress relief mechanism. However, the 0.2 mm stripe width exhibited the lowest stress of 647 MPa, suggesting a different mechanism for stress relief, possibly due to re-melting. These findings highlight the critical role of stripe width as a scan strategy in PBF-LB processing of crack-susceptible alloys.

To address these limitations, this study investigates chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) as a surface finishing method for improving surface quality and modifying the residual stress state in PBF-LB 316 L stainless steel. The work uniquely examines how scan rotation (0◦ vs. 67◦ rotation) and contour parameters influence CMP effectiveness in material removal, surface smoothing, and subsurface stress redistribution. With a targeted material removal of 110 μm, CMP reduced surface roughness (Sa) by up to 94 %, achieving values as low as 0.7 μm. Microstructural analysis revealed no grain refinement but identified a thin, plastically deformed surface layer. This plastic deformation resulted in the transformation of tensile surface stresses (340 MPa) into beneficial compressive stresses (􀀀 400 MPa), as confirmed by synchrotron X-ray diffraction, which also showed a shift toward isotropic strain distribution. Further, these findings demonstrate that the initial scan strategy influences CMP performance and that CMP can enhance both surface integrity and mechanical reliability without altering the underlying microstructure. This study advances the understanding of how process induced microstructure and surface features affect CMP outcomes, enabling more informed design of post-processing strategies for improved surface integrity and mechanical performance in additively manufactured metals.

T1 - Influence of build up height on residual stresses in additive repair and modification using DED Arc N2 - Directed Energy Deposition (DED)-Arc is suitable for the hybrid additive manufacturing, modification and repair of large metal components with high deposition rates. Residual stresses and distortion are of central importance when characterizing the manufactured components and the sensitive transition area between AM component and semi-finished product. Residual stresses caused by the thermal cycles during the manufacturing process can impair the mechanical properties of the manufactured parts and can lead component failure. Therefore, understanding and controlling residual stresses, especially when combining different base and filler materials, is critical to improving the quality and efficiency of the hybrid DED-Arc process. This article deals with the influence of the build-up height on the residual stress distribution of additively manufactured components with a selected base and filler material combination. Using a robot-assisted DEDsystem and a controlled short arc, systematic step cancellation tests were carried out at a selected working temperature (200 C°) and heat input (600 kJ/m). In a 5-stage termination experiment, straight walls were produced using a one bead per layer strategy and selected increasing component heights between 15 mm and 300 mm. The influence of the build height on the longitudinal residual stress in the process direction was analyzed and discussed. All experiments showed a comparable stress distribution in the area of the substrate plate up to the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and the transition zone, regardless of the buliding height. However, the height showed a significant influence on the of residual stress distribution of the deposited AM-component. High positive stress gradients with a maximum range between 300 MPa to 400 MPa were always found in the last approx. 18 component layers (upper 40 mm), which can be explained by the shrinkage of the nonheat- treated top layer. Underlying layers, where present, showed a homogeneous residual stress distribution characterized by low compressive stresses. This can be explained by the process related tempering during the deposition of the upper layers. A constant boundary layer number was determined for all specimens. Once this number was exceeded, the distribution of residual stresses no longer changed, but merely shifted with the increasing height of the component in the direction of build-up. These correlations contribute to the understanding of residual stress development with increasing structure height. This study is part of a running research project on the properties of hybrid additive components and processes. It aims the stress optimized hybrid additive manufacturing of high-strength components and the necessary recommendations for application.

It contributes to the development of more energy-efficient structures and supports the overall goal of achieving carbon neutrality in the transition to sustainable manufacturing. Thus, a topology-optimized design often leads to complex geometries. Additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as direct energy deposition with arc (DED-Arc) offers a great design freedom due to the build-up of components in layers. Furthermore, they enable efficient production due to the high deposition rate, process reliability and good automation capability. Further efficiency can be achieved through weight optimization, enabled by high-strength steels. However, a major challenge is the process induced residual stresses (RS) in the component. High tensile residual stresses are detrimental as they increase the risk of cold cracking. Knowledge of residual stress distribution is crucial for predicting service life of the component and structural integrity assessment, especially for safety critical applications. Therefore, this study focuses on the use of Contour method (CM) to analyse the full field longitudinal residual stresses in an open hollow cuboid component (dimensions: 120 x 50 x 30 mm3) manufactured by DED-Arc (yield strength > 730 MPa). In the contour method, the component is cut along a desired plane of interest and the contour of deformed cut surface is measured. A finite element model is used to reconstruct the residual stresses field in the 2-dimensional plane of cut. In this paper a modified cutting strategy was employed, post cutting the deformed cut surfaces were measured utilizing two surface measurement techniques i.e., coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and a 3D Scanner. The accuracy of the contour method was validated against surface stresses measured using X-ray diffraction. Additionally, a comparison of neutron diffraction experiments was conducted. The residual stresses were further correlated with hardness measurements. The results from surface measurement techniques showed good agreement regarding the measured displacement contours and the contour method results revealed peak stresses in the DED-Arc walls, bending deformation in substrate induces tensile stresses at the bottom of the substrate plate and compressive stresses in the middle top region. The residual stresses obtained from diffraction and contour method showed a good agreement and correlated qualitatively with the hardness measurements.

Lightweight construction principles allow a reduction of CO2 emissions by saving time, costs, and resources. Further optimisations can be achieved by using high-strength steel. This allows for a reduction in wall thickness and optimisation of weight. However, manufacturing intricate geometries using high-strength steels poses challenges in managing residual stresses (RS), which are essential for ensuring the structural integrity of welded components. High residual stresses can increase the risk of cold cracking, arising from the complex interactions between material properties, process conditions, and component design. Despite the availability of suitable filler metals, the lack of comprehensive knowledge and guidelines on residual stress formation limits the industrial application. Therefore, in the present study, the contour method (CM) was used to analyse the full field longitudinal residual stresses in an solid cuboid component (dimensions: 120 × 50 × 35 mm³) manufactured by DED-Arc. The CM enables the analysis of the two-dimensional map of residual stresses normal to a cutting plane using a finite element model. For this purpose, a solid cuboid component was welded fully automatically with a high-strength solid wire specially adapted for DED-Arc (yield strength > 790 MPa) onto conventionally manufactured substrates made of S690QL. The residual stresses from CM in the volume are compared with residual stress analyses using X-Ray diffraction on the surface. Additionally, comparative data from previous studies on hollow cuboid structures was included in order to identify similarities and differences in the resulting stress state, and to complement and validate the CM results. These results demonstrate the significant influence of the geometry on the residual stress profiles within the solid cuboid in relation to the open hollow.

The focus of the present study was to determine the influence of deposition strategy on the Δt8/5 cooling time, the mechanical properties and the residual stresses in order to establish a correlation between heat control, cooling conditions and residual stresses in the transition area of hybrid-additive components. This contributed to the knowledge regarding the safe avoidance of cold cracking, excessive distortion and a reduction in yield stress and the implementation of hybrid DED-arc manufacturing. The heat control was varied by means of the build-up strategy, heat input and working temperature such that the Δt8/5 cooling times corresponded to the recommended processing range. For the deposition strategy, significant effects were exhibited, in particular on the local residual stresses in the transition area. The working temperature showed a higher influence on cooling time, displacement and residual stresses than the heat input. A low working temperature of 100 °C produces almost twice as much deformation of the substrate plate in the tests compared to manufacturing at a high working temperature of 300 °C. Furthermore, compressive longitudinal residual stresses in the sensitive transition area are reduced from 500 MPa to approx. 100 MPa by adjusting the working temperature from 100 °C to 300 °C. Such complex interactions must be clarified comprehensively to provide users with easily applicable processing recommendations and standard specifications for an economical hybrid additive manufacturing of components, for example made of high-strength steels in the transition area.

However, the thermal cycles inherent to the process comprising large localized thermal gradients and repeated melting and solidification cycles leads to the generation of high magnitude residual stresses. These residual stresses can be detrimental both during manufacturing of components and in subsequent application. Therefore, a deep understanding of the influence of process parameters on the residual stresses are crucial for efficient manufacturing and safe application. The experimental characterization of these residual stresses is therefore crucial and can provide a reliable baseline for simulations of both the process and applications. Diffraction-based methods for residual stress analysis using penetrating neutrons and high energy X-rays enable non-destructive spatially resolved characterization of both surface and bulk residual stresses. However, the unique microstructural features inherent to the process can challenge some of our assumptions when using these methods. These challenges include the determination of a stress-free reference, the use of correct elastic constants (both SCEC and DEC) and the influence of surface roughness, texture, and porosity on residual stresses.

The manufacturing defects and high RS are inherent of AM techniques and affect structural integrity of the components. Using XCT the defects size and shape distribution as well as geometrical deviations can be characterized, allowing the further optimization of the manufacturing process. Diffraction-based RS analysis methods using neutron and synchrotron X-rays at large scale facilities offer the possibility to non-destructively spatially resolve both surface and bulk RS in complex components and track their changes following applied thermal or mechanical loads.

New developments in topology optimization are leading to weight-optimized designs of increasing complexity. Direct energy deposition processes (DED) such as wire and arc-based additive manufacturing are an important method of additive manufacturing. The wire filler metals enable a wide range of materials, while the arc process provides a high deposition rate compared to laser and powder-based processes. Combined with the use of high-strength steels, the thickness of walls or components can be significantly reduced in the context of lightweight construction, which results in significant savings in energy, costs, time and resources. Suitable high-strength steel filler metals are commercially available for DED-arc AM processes. However, guidelines and quantitative knowledge about welding stresses and cold cracking issues during component production and service are lacking. This limits the industrial application considerably. In a joint project of BAM and Chemnitz University of Technology, the main influences and complex interactions of material, production process, design and processing steps on the residual stress level are investigated. The aim is to develop processing recommendations and a cold cracking test for economical processing and stress-related design of high-strength steels with DED-arc. This study focuses on residual stress analysis by neutron diffraction (ND) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) on defined test specimens. The ND analysis were performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute- Villigen, Switzerland (PSI) and the XRD analysis at BAM. The study shows a quantitative and qualitative comparison of the residual stress magnitudes and distribution between the component bulk (ND) and surface (XRD) analyses. The ND analysis reveals that in DED-arc AM walls the residual stresses dominate in the direction of welding and are negligibly small in each case transverse to the direction of welding. The topology of the analyzed residual stresses shows almost identical residual stress maps compared to XRD. In addition, the residual stresses are significantly influenced by the solid phase transformation of the material due to low cooling times and less post heat treatment cycles of following AM layers in the area of the top layer.
