Rapid cooling rates and steep temperature gradients are characteristic of additively manufactured parts and important factors for the residual stress formation. This study examined the influence of heat accumulation on the distribution of residual stress in two prisms produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) of austenitic stainless steel 316L. The layers of the prisms were exposed using two different border fill scan strategies: one scanned from the centre to the perimeter and the other from the perimeter to the centre. The goal was to reveal the effect of different heat inputs on samples featuring the same solidification shrinkage. Residual stress was characterised in one plane perpendicular to the building direction at the mid height using Neutron and Lab X-ray diffraction. Thermography data obtained during the build process were analysed in order to correlate the cooling rates and apparent surface temperatures with the residual stress results. Optical microscopy and micro computed tomography were used to correlate defect populations with the residual stress distribution. The two scanning strategies led to residual stress distributions that were typical for additively manufactured components: compressive stresses in the bulk and tensile stresses at the surface. However, due to the different heat accumulation, the maximum residual stress levels differed. We concluded that solidification shrinkage plays a major role in determining the shape of the residual stress distribution, while the temperature gradient mechanism appears to determine the magnitude of peak residual stresses.
The evolution of the internal strains during in situ tension and compression tests has been
measured in an MgY2Zn1 alloy containing long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phase using
neutron diffraction. The alloy was extruded at two different temperatures to study the influence
of the microstructure and texture of the magnesium and the LPSO phases on the deformation
mechanisms. The alloy extruded at 623 K (350 °C) exhibits a strong fiber texture with the basal
plane parallel to the extrusion direction due to the presence of areas of coarse non-recrystallised
grains. However, at 723 K (450 °C), the magnesium phase is fully recrystallised with grains
randomly oriented. On the other hand, at the two extrusion temperatures, the LPSO phase
orients their basal plane parallel to the extrusion direction. Yield stress is always slightly higher
in compression than in tension. Independently on the stress sign and the extrusion temperature,
the beginning of plasticity is controlled by the activation of the basal slip system in the dynamic
recrystallized grains. Therefore, the elongated fiber-shaped LPSO phase which behaves as the
reinforcement in a metal matrix composite is responsible for this tension–compression asymmetry.
Internal damage of an AlSi12CuMgNi alloy reinforced with planar random short fibres has been investigated after compression. This damage strongly influences the load partition between matrix and reinforcement. For fibres perpendicular to the applied load, breakage and interconnected cracks appear in significantly higher volume fraction than with fibres parallel to load.
