Weldability of PBF-LB/M Inconel 718 lattice structures by laser beam
- The present research focuses on the weldability of PBF-LB/M lattice structure parts of Inconel 718 by means of laser beam welding. The integration of complex and lightweight AM structures into assemblies employing conventional joining methods is challenging. During the welding process, dissipation of the laser heat input through thin-walled structures of these lightweight structures is strongly limited, resulting in heat accumulation, atypical cooling rates, and affecting weld geometry, quality of the joint and microstructure. PBF-LB/M parts have been manufactured in three characteristic build directions. They were all stress relieved, then a group of them were submitted to an additional solution annealing and the second group to a two-step aging treatment. Afterwards, these parts were welded to identical PBF-LB/M parts and to wrought ones in butt position. To gain insight into the welding temperature field and to explain segregation mechanisms, grain growth and asymmetries,The present research focuses on the weldability of PBF-LB/M lattice structure parts of Inconel 718 by means of laser beam welding.

Afterwards, these parts were welded to identical PBF-LB/M parts and to wrought ones in butt position. To gain insight into the welding temperature field and to explain segregation mechanisms, grain growth and asymmetries, thermocouples have been attached on the surface’s regions and struts nearby. Joining a lattice structure with a full material wrought sample results in clear asymmetric welds due to dissimilar heat dissipation on both sides of the seam. Selected pre-weld heat treatments have a crucial influence on the quality of the seam on the AM part.…
