• The temperature gradient and thermal strain show different characteristics in continuous-wave (CW) mode and pulsed-wave (PW) mode during laser additive manufacturing. • In the direct laser deposition process, residual stress was reduced by about 61% using PW laser mode. • The reduction of temperature gradient and stress release contributing to the reduction and homogenization of the residual stress in PW laser mode. Components manufactured by direct laser deposition (DED) are prone to produce excessive residual stress due to its rapid heating by laser and cooling. Excessive residual tensile stress leads to cracking of deposited sample, even cause failure to serve. Understanding thermodynamic behavior during processing is critical for controlling residual stress. In this study, in-situ transient strain and temperature gradient evolution of each layer on deposited sample 316L stainless steel thin wall during DED using both continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed-wave (PW) laser modes were emerged by digital image correlation (DIC) method and thermal imager. The longitudinal residual stress of deposited sample was evaluated using two laser modes. The results demonstrated that the PW mode creates a smaller temperature gradient and hence a lesser thermal strain than the CW mode. Furthermore, the cyclic thermal stress characteristics of PW mode was observed. All these factors contribute to the reduction of residual stress. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract This work aims to establish the effect of laser energy area density (EAD) as the laser incident energy on density, microstructures and mechanical properties of direct laser deposition (DLD) 12CrNi2Y alloy steel. The results show that the density of DLD 12CrNi2Y alloy steel increases at initial stage and then decreases with an increase of EAD, the highest density of alloy steel sample is 98.95%. The microstructures of DLD 12CrNi2Y alloy steel samples are composed of bainite, ferrite and carbide. With increase of EAD, the microstructures transform from polygonal ferrite (PF) to granular bainite (GB). The martensite-austenite constituent (M-A) in GB transforms from flake-like paralleling to the bainite ferrite laths to granular morphology. It is also found that the average width of laths in finer GB can be refined from 532 nm to 302 nm, which improves the comprehensive properties of DLD 12CrNi2Y alloy steel such as high hardness of 342 ± 9 HV 0.2 , yield strength of 702 ± 16 MPa, tensile strength of 901 ± 14 MPa and large elongation of 15.2%±0.6%. The DLD 12CrNi2Y material with good strength and toughness could meet the demand of alloy steel components manufacturing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The seawater circulation pump is a significant piece of equipment in coastal nuclear power plants that is susceptible to erosion and corrosion in the seawater. In this work, CeO2-modified cobalt-based composite coatings were prepared on the surface of martensitic stainless steel by direct laser deposition. The effect of CeO2 on the phase composition, microstructure, microhardness, corrosion resistance, and erosion properties of the cobalt-based composite coatings was systematically investigated. While the addition of CeO2 did not affect the phase composition of the coatings that comprised γ-Co, γ-Ni, M7C3, and M23C6 (M = Cr, W, Fe) metallic carbides, the eutectic organization showed an obvious phenomenon of contiguous aggregation. Microscopic pores were found in the coatings with 2 wt.% CeO2, and the number of pores increased with the increase in CeO2 content. Despite the higher self-corrosion potential (−0.27668 V) of cobalt-based alloy coating compared to the substrate (−0.37019 V), indicating enhanced corrosion resistance, the difference in self-corrosion potential among coatings with varying CeO2 addition amounts is small (0.027 V), and the corrosion current densities are within one order of magnitude (10−8 A/cm2). These findings suggest that the addition of CeO2 has no significant impact on the coating’s corrosion resistance.

This work is devoted to the study of the structural-phase state of martensitic-aging steels obtained by direct laser cultivation, in particular 06Cr15Ni4CuMo and the development of a heat treatment regime. The tasks of the work include the study of studies on the heat treatment of maraging; the selection of modes for heat treatment; the study of the structure of samples after homogenization, tempering and their mechanical properties. Based on the results of the conducted research, choose the mode that allows to obtain the best mechanical characteristics. As a result, homogenization of samples was carried out at holding temperatures of 1000, 1100 and 1200 °C and an annealing time of 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours. The selection of the tempering mode was carried out. The influence of temperature and time on the development and growth of new grains, the formationand growth of secondary phases and the change in the microstructure are studied. The mechanical properties of the samples, such as micro-hardness, strength, and ductility, were studied.As a result of the final qualification work, the recommended mode is a heat treatment consisting of homogenization (T=1200°C, t=6h), quenching (T=1060°C, t=3h) and subsequent triple tempering (T=620-625°C, t=5h), which forms a finely dispersed structure of tempered martensite, providing satisfactory mechanical properties.

The article presents the formation of structure and mechanical properties of bainite-martensitic steel in the process of exposure to a laser source. By varying the inter-pass temperature, the thermal cycles take place in a different temperature range, at which the formation of martensite and metastable austenite occurs. The formation of residual metastable austenite has a significant impact on the mechanical properties and performance of the product. During continuous growth, the process of phase transitions takes place in the high-temperature region. In the high-temperature region and slow cooling, bainite ferrite forms. The ferritic structure leads to brittle fracture at negative temperatures, which is unacceptable in cold-resistant steels. When specimens are deposition with a pause, the formation of the structure occurs in the low-temperature region, forming mainly bainite-martensitic structures. The resulting properties are quite high, but anisotropy is also preserved. [Display omitted] • The evolution of the structure and transformation in the steel 09CrNi2MoCu is shown. • The dependence of the thermal cycle in the DLD process has been established. • A continuous cooling transformation diagram of the deposit specimens is plotted. • Theoretically and experimentally confirmed the mechanism of structure-phase composition formation. • We present dilatometric studies of metastable residual austenite formation.

Ti-6Al-4V samples have been fabricated by direct laser deposition using different laser powers and two different laser processing modes, continuous wave (CW) mode and CW+PW (pulsed wave) mode. The as-fabricated microstructure was investigated using photography, optical microscopy and secondary electron microscopy. It was found that both laser mode and laser power show significant influence on grain structure. The CW mode generally leads to well-developed large columnar grains whereas the CW+PW mode tends to give rise to much finer equiaxed grains. Higher laser power was found to result in larger grains and coarser microstructure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present work, the mechanical properties of the DLD-processed Ti-6Al-4V alloy were obtained by tensile tests performed at different temperatures, ranging from 20 °C to 800 °C. Thereby, the process conditions were close to the conditions used to produce large-sized structures using the DLD method, resulting in specimens having the same initial martensitic microstructure. According to the obtained stress curves, the yield strength decreases gradually by 40% when the temperature is increased to 500 °C. Similar behavior is observed for the tensile strength. However, further heating above 500 °C leads to a significant increase in the softening rate. It was found that the DLD-processed Ti-6Al-4V alloy had a Young’s modulus with higher thermal stability than conventionally processed alloys. At 500 °C, the Young’s modulus of the DLD alloy was 46% higher than that of the wrought alloy. The influence of the thermal history on the stress relaxation for the cases where 500 °C and 700 °C were the maximum temperatures was studied. It was revealed that stress relaxation processes are decisive for the formation of residual stresses at temperatures above 700 °C, which is especially important for small-sized parts produced by the DLD method. The coefficient of thermal expansion was investigated up to 1050 °C.

For improving the wear properties of NiCrAlY, the 10 wt %, 20 wt % and 30 wt % ZrO2-added NiCrAlY samples were prepared by ultrasonic-assisted direct laser deposition, respectively. The results showed that the ultrasonic-assisted direct laser deposition can realize the ZrO2-added NiCrAlY preparation. Furthermore, due to the cavitation effect and agitation of the ultrasound in the molten pool, ultrasonic-assisted could make the upper surface of the samples smoother and flatter, and it also improved the microstructural homogeneity. The microstructure was mainly composed of columnar dendrites, and most of ZrO2 particles were located in the intergranular regions. The principal phase constituents were found to contain γ-Ni and t-NiZr2, and the amorphous (Ni, Zr) intermetallic phase generated, because of more rapid solidification after ultrasound assisted. The microhardness was improved slightly with the increase of ZrO2 contents, rising from 407.9 HV (10% ZrO2) to 420.4 HV (30% ZrO2). Correspondingly, wear mass loss was decreased with the maximum drop 22.7% of 30% ZrO2 compared to that of 10% ZrO2, and wear mechanisms were mainly abrasive wear with slightly adhesive wear. After applying ultrasound, the oxide islands in samples disappeared, and more ceramic particles were retained. Thus, the hardness and wear performance of the samples were improved.

In additive manufacturing (AM), the technology and processing parameters are key elements that determine the characteristics of samples for a given material. To distinguish the effects of these variables, we used the same AISI 316L stainless steel powder with different AM techniques. The techniques used are the most relevant ones in the AM of metals, i.e., direct laser deposition (DLD) with a high-power diode laser and selective laser melting (SLM) using a fiber laser and a novel CO2 laser, a novel technique that has not yet been reported with this material. The microstructure of all samples showed austenitic and ferritic phases, which were coarser with the DLD technique than for the two SLM ones. The hardness of the fiber laser SLM samples was the greatest, but its bending strength was lower. In SLM with CO2 laser pieces, the porosity and lack of melting reduced the fracture strain, but the strength was greater than in the fiber laser SLM samples under certain build-up strategies. Specimens manufactured using DLD showed a higher fracture strain than the rest, while maintaining high strength values. In all the cases, crack surfaces were observed and the fracture mechanisms were determined. The processing conditions were compared using a normalized parameters methodology, which has also been used to explain the observed microstructures.

- Abstract
This study investigates the feasibility of in-situ manufacturing of a functionally graded metallic-regolith. To fabricate the gradient, digital light processing, an additive manufacturing technique, and spark plasma sintering were selected due to their compatibility with metallic-ceramic processing in a space environment. The chosen methods were first assessed for their ability to effectively consolidate regolith alone, before progressing to sintering regolith directly onto metallic substrates. Optimized processing conditions based on the sintering temperature, initial powder particle size, and different compositions of the lunar regolith powders were identified. Experiments have successfully proven the consolidation of lunar regolith simulants at 1050°C under 80 MPa with digital light processing and spark plasma sintering, while the metallic powders can be fully densified at relatively low temperatures and a pressure of 50 MPa with spark plasma sintering. Furthermore, the lunar regolith and Ti 6 Al 4 V gradient was proven to be the most promising combination. While the current study showed that it is feasible to manufacture a functionally graded metallic-regolith, further developments of a fully optimized method have the potential to produce tailored, high-performance materials in an off-earth manufacturing setting for the production of aerospace, robotic, or architectural components., Team Vera Popovich, Team Marcel Hermans

Functionally graded material (FGM) based on Inconel 625 and AISI 431 stainless steel powders was produced by applying the direct laser deposition (DLD) process. The FGM starts with layers of Inconel 625 and ends with layers of 431 stainless steel having three intermediate zones with the composition (100-X)% Inconel 625-X% 431 stainless steel, X = 25, 50, and 75, in that order. This FGM was deposited on a 42CrMo4 steel substrate, with and without preheating. Microstructures of these FGMs were evaluated, while considering the distribution of chemical composition and grain structure. Microstructures mainly consisted of columnar grains independent of preheating condition, epitaxial growth was observed. The application of a non-preheated substrate caused the formation of planar grains in the vicinity of the substrate. In addition, hardness maps were produced. The hardness distribution across these FGMs confirmed a smooth transition between deposited layers, however, the heat-affected zone was greatly influenced by the preheating condition. This study suggests that an optimum Inconel 625/AISI 431 FGM obtained by DLD should not exceed 50% AISI 431 stainless steel.

In this study, direct laser deposition (DLD) of nickel-based superalloy powders (Inconel 625) on structural steel (42CrMo4) was analysed. Cladding layers were produced by varying the main processing conditions: laser power, scanning speed, feed rate, and preheating. The processing window was established based on conditions that assured deposited layers without significant structural defects and a dilution between 15 and 30%. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and electron backscatter diffraction were performed for microstructural characterisation. The Vickers hardness test was used to analyse the mechanical response of the optimised cladding layers. The results highlight the influence of preheating on the microstructure and mechanical responses, particularly in the heat-affected zone. Substrate preheating to 300 °C has a strong effect on the cladding/substrate interface region, affecting the microstructure and the hardness distribution. Preheating also reduced the formation of the deleterious Laves phase in the cladding and altered the martensite microstructure in the heat-affected zone, with a substantial decrease in hardness.

Fatigue behaviour of Ti-6Al-4 V specimens additively-manufactured via Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) is investigated in this study. Additive manufacturing provides the opportunity to fabricate complex geometries layer-by-layer from 3D computer aided drawings. As the mechanical behaviour of metallic materials depends on their microstructure, which is affected by the time-temperature history, additive-manufactured components are expected to have different properties than those of their wrought counterparts. Ti-6Al-4 V rods were fabricated by LENS using two different sets of process parameters and machined into ‘dog-bone’ fatigue specimens with dimensions in conformance to ASTM standards. The fatigue behaviour and microstructural features of the LENS Ti-6Al-4 V samples were characterized and compared with wrought Ti-6Al-4 V. Fractography of the fractured specimen surfaces was performed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to determine the failure mechanism and realize the effects of porosity on fatigue resistance and data scatter of LENS Ti-6Al-4 V. The fatigue lives of the LENS Ti-6Al-4 V materials were found to be lower than those of the wrought Ti-6Al-4 V, and driven by the porosity and microstructure of the samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A concern associated with Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) is the difficulty in controlling microstructure due to rapid cooling rates after deposition, particularly in beta-Ti alloys. In these alloys, the beta-phase is likely to exist following DLD, instead of the desirable duplex alpha + beta microstructure that gives a good balance of properties. Thus, in this work, a parametric study was performed to assess the role of DLD parameters on porosity, build geometry, and microstructure in a beta-Ti alloy, Ti–5Al–5Mo–5V–3Cr (Ti5553). The builds were examined using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Microhardness measurements were performed to assess the degree of re-precipitation of alpha-phase following an in situ dwelling and laser annealing procedure. The study identified several processing conditions that enable deposition of samples with the desired geometry and low porosity level. The microstructure was dominated by beta-phase, except for the region near the substrate where a limited amount of alpha-precipitates was present due to reheating effect. Although the microstructure was a mixture of equiaxed and columnar beta-grains alongside infrequent fine alpha-precipitates, the builds showed fairly uniform microhardness in different regions. In situ dwelling and annealing did not cause an obvious change in porosity, but did promote the formation of alpha-precipitates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ti–6Al–4V samples have been prepared by direct laser deposition (DLD) using varied processing conditions. Some of the as-fabricated samples were stress-relieved or hot isostatically pressed (HIPed). The microstructures of all the samples were characterised using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the tensile properties assessed. It was found that a high laser power together with a reasonably low powder feed rate was essential for achieving minimum porosity. The build height and geometrical integrity of samples were sensitive to the specified laser nozzle moving step along the build height direction (or Z step) with a too big Z step usually leading to a build height smaller than specified height (or under build) and a too small Z step to excessive building (or excess build). Particularly, scaling-up of samples requires a smaller Z step to obtain specified build height and geometry. The as-fabricated microstructure was characterised by columnar grains together with martensitic needle structure and a small fraction of β phase. This led generally to high tensile strengths but low elongations. The vertically machined samples showed even lower elongation than horizontally machined ones due to the presence of large lack-of-fusion pores at interlayer interfaces. HIPing effectively closed pores and fully transformed the martensites into lamellar α + β phases, which considerably improved ductility but caused slight reduction in strength. With optimisation of processing conditions together with post-DLD HIPing, a couple of large spars with structural integrity comparable to conventionally manufactured parts have been fabricated. Pronounced distortion was observed after unclamping of the as-fabricated structures. HIPing on the unclamped structures was found to significantly reduce the distortion. It is suggested that DLD plus HIPing is a feasible route for manufacturing high quality and high performance aerospace structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the deposition of martensitic stainless-steel (Metco 42C) powder on 42CrMo4 structural steel by direct laser deposition (DLD) was investigated. Clads were produced by varying the laser power, scanning speed, feed rate, and preheating. The effect of these processing variables on the microstructure and microhardness of the clads was analyzed, as well as their soundness, yield (measured by dilution), and geometric characteristics (height, width, and depth). The complex interaction of the evaluated processing variables forced the application of complex parameters to systematize their effect on the clads. A genetic optimization algorithm was performed to determine the processing conditions warranting high-quality clads, that is, sound clads, metallurgically bonded to the substrate with required deposition yield.

Titanium matrix composites (TMCs) have attracted widespread research interest due to their excellent properties. Herein, TMC reinforced with quasi-continuous reticular nano-TiB whiskers (nano-TiB w) was fabricated via a direct laser deposition method. The network of TiB reinforcements was found to be equiaxial and dendritic, and the addition of boron was shown to be beneficial to the equiaxial transition and refinement of α grains. The interface between the nano-TiB w and Ti64 matrix was observed to be clean and flat. The microhardness of the TMC was 465.1 HV 0.025 , 31% higher than that of the Ti64 alloy. Compressive tests showed that the TMC exhibited high ultimate compressive strength and good plasticity due to the grain refinement of the matrix and load transfer effect of nano-TiB w. The lower friction coefficients, smaller wear tracks, and minor wear weight loss revealed the superior wear resistance of the TMC in comparison to that of the Ti64 alloy. The reticular TiB w was found to be responsible for reducing the sensitivity of the TMC to adhesive wear. [Display omitted] • Nano-TiB w reinforced Ti matrix composite was fabricated by direct laser deposition. • The reticular nano-TiB w induced grain refinement and equiaxial transition of α grains. • The TiB w /Ti64 composite offered a good combination of strength and plasticity. • The network TiB w reduced the sensitivity of TMC to adhesive wear.

• Dual-phase Al 0.7 CoCrFeNi HEAs were fabricated by DLD and VAM. • BCC phase in VAM Al 0.7 showed basket-weave-like structure by spinodal decomposition. • DLD sample contained a higher content of FCC phase than the VAM sample. • The texture in BCC phase in DLD sample deviated from 〈0 0 1〉 orientation. Dual-phase (FCC + BCC) Al 0.7 CoCrFeNi high-entropy alloys were successfully fabricated by direct laser deposition (DLD) and vacuum arc melting (VAM). It has been found that there is a significant difference between the microstructures produced by the two methods. A hypoeutectic structure (primary FCC phase + lamellar FCC-BCC eutectic microstructure) was observed in the DLD sample, while BCC phase in the VAM sample displayed basket-weave-like structures by spinodal decomposition, which can be attributed to the different thermal gradients and cooling rates for the two processes. A higher percentage of FCC phase was found in the DLD sample (63 %), compared to the VAM sample (55 %). In both samples, FCC phase was rich in Fe, Co and Cr, whereas Al and Ni were segregated in BCC phase. Furthermore, chaotic grain orientations were observed in FCC phase in both samples. A strong 〈0 0 1〉 texture along the direction of solidification was formed in BCC phase in the VAM sample, while in the DLD sample the texture showed a deviation from 〈0 0 1〉 orientation because of the complex nature of the temperature field.

A novel 70Cr8Ni2Y alloy steel powder was designed and prepared to meet the requirement for composition design and preparation of gradient alloys with strength-toughness matching the preparation of nuclear power camshafts by direct laser deposition (DLD). A three-layer gradient structure alloy sample with strength-toughness matching was successfully prepared by DLD using 70Cr8Ni2Y, 50Cr6Ni2Y and 12CrNi2Y alloy steel powder. The microstructure evolution and strength-toughness matching mechanism of the gradient sample were studied. The interfaces between the gradient layers were metallurgical bonding and had no defects such as cracks and pores. With the change of the alloy composition of the three gradient layers, the main microstructure of the sample changed from granular bainite to lath bainite, and to martensite in turn. The mechanism of strength-toughness matching was that the changes of the three alloy components made the strength of microstructure increase, and a metallurgical bond formed at the interfaces of the gradient layers. The gradient sample demonstrated strength-toughness matching of high-strength surface and good toughness core through adjusting of the gradient layers and change of microstructure. The high-strength 70Cr8Ni2Y surface layer ensured the high hardness and wear resistance of the gradient sample, and the 50Cr6Ni2Y gradient layer acted as an intermediate layer to support the surface and protect the bottom layer. The 12CrNi2Y gradient layer with good toughness played a role in delaying fracture and hindering crack propagation. The microhardness of the gradient sample showed a gradient distribution of 739-534-321 HV. The average tensile strength was 1076 MPa, the elongation was 1.6%, and the specific wear rate (SWR) of the sample surface was 9.5 × 10−5 mm3/(N·m). This paper can provide a useful reference for the preparation of nuclear power camshaft parts with gradient properties of good toughness of the core and high hardness and wear resistance of the surface by DLD. • Novel high-hardness and wear-resistant 70Cr8Ni2Y alloy steel powder was designed and prepared. • 70Cr8Ni2Y/50Cr6Ni2Y/12CrNi2Y gradient alloy steel sample was successfully prepared by DLD. • The microstructure evolution law of DLD gradient alloy steel sample was clarified. • The strength-toughness matching mechanism of the microstructure and properties was revealed.

• Dissimilar joint was fabricated by DLD via adding an (Nb + Cu-10Al) interlayer. • The addition of an (Nb + Cu-10Al) could effectively inhibit the formation of Ti-Fe IMC. • The average tensile strength is 335.5 MPa. • The strength of Grade1/316L joint could be improved by using an gradient interlayer. The heterogeneous compounds of titanium and iron steel are of wide interest in additive manufacturing. To prevent the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds, a layer of Nb and Cu was used. The use of the Nb and Cu interlayer successfully prevents the mixing of Ti and Fe, thus avoiding the formation of FexTiy brittle phases. In the Ti–Nb–(Nb + Cu–10Al) transition interlayer, it was possible to achieve the interlayer without the formation of brittle phases. The static tensile strength of the Grade1/316 L compounds with Nb–(Nb + Cu–10Al) interlayer is 335.5 MPa, the compounds exhibit ductile–brittle fracture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To improve the efficiency of the direct laser deposition (DLD) of metal powders, a concentrated powder-stream distribution is required, which can be affected by the shape of the powder-delivery nozzle. In this study, a simplified, powder particle–wall collision-based 3D numerical model of the powder flow in the nozzle was used to simulate the influences of the nozzle-exit shape on the concentration of the powder stream distribution, characterized by its diameter. The nozzle-exit shape was parametrized by the exit-cone angle, length, and inner-surface roughness. Based on the simulation results, the nozzle-exit shapes of three exit-cone angles (0°, 3.5° and 7.2°), various lengths and surface-roughness values were designed. For the two larger particle sizes of 22 μm and 82 μm considered, the wall-collision-dominated regime and the influence of the nozzle-exit shape were experimentally confirmed. In particular, a significant decrease in the powder-stream diameter when increasing the divergent nozzle-exit cone angle or decreasing its surface roughness and the nonlinear influence of the cone length were shown. Using single-layer, powder-deposition experiments it was demonstrated that by modifying the design of the nozzle-exit shape, the powder-catchment efficiency was increased by 13% due to the increased nozzle-exit cone angle and by 19% due to the reduced surface roughness. [Display omitted] • Particle-wall collision-based model of powder flow in nozzle-exit was formulated. • Conical exit influence on powder stream was shown numerically and experimentally. • Increase of divergent nozzle-exit cone angle decreases powder stream diameter. • The nozzle-exit cone length nonlinearly influences the powder stream diameter. • Reducing the nozzle-exit cone roughness decreases the powder stream diameter.

This article presents the results of the metal deposition process using additive materials in the form of filler wire and metal powder. An important problem in wire deposition using a CO2 laser was overcome by using a combination of the abovementioned methods. The deposition of a multicomponent alloy—Inconel 625—on a basic substrate such as structural steel is presented. The authors propose a new approach for stopping carbon and iron diffusion from the substrate, by using the Semi-Hybrid Deposition Method (S-HDM) developed by team members. The proposed semi-hybrid method was compared with alternative wire and powder deposition using laser beam. Differences of S-HDM and classic wire deposition and powder deposition methods are presented using metallographic analysis, within optic and electron microscopy. Significant differences in the obtained results reveal advantages of the developed method compared to traditional deposition methods. A comparison of the aforementioned methods performed using nickel based super alloy Inconel 625 deposited on low carbon steel substrate is presented. An alternative prototyping approach for an advanced high alloy materials deposition using CO2 laser, without the requirement of using the same substrate was presented in this article. This study confirmed the established assumption of reducing selected components diffusion from a substrate via buffer layer. Results of metallographic analysis confirm the advantages and application potential of using the new semi-hybrid method for prototyping high alloy materials on low alloy structural steel substrate.

This research explores the importance of the powder feedstock characteristics on the manufacturing of martensitic stainless steel elements by Laser Metal Deposition (LMD). Water- and gas-atomised (WA and GA respectively) powders are the most common feedstock material used in LMD. The atomisation process medium influences powder properties including particle size distribution, inner and outer morphology, and microstructure. In this work, commercial WA and GA powders of AISI 431 stainless steel alloy were used to produce LMD coatings under identical deposition parameters. It was found that the powder processing route significantly affected the powder’s morphology, and this led to large changes in the laser energy absorbance during LMD. Consequently, significant changes in the microstructure of the deposited layer were observed. The parts manufactured with WA powder presented a duplex structure composed of martensite and ferrite, while a predominantly martensitic structure was verified in the GA deposition. The microstructural differences led to a wear rate reduction by a factor of 35 and a gain of 150 mV in pitting potential in the GA material. Though, the application of GA powder increased the production cost by 53% due to its lower deposition efficiency and higher retail price. The marked differences have all been attributed to the characteristics of the starting powder feedstock. This work highlights that the properties of the powder feedstock are a critical parameter in determining the properties of the LMD material, and emphasises the importance of the powder processing route on the energy absorption during LMD.

Nowadays, additive manufacturing (AM) makes possible the production of complex metallic parts, and the use of the titanium alloy known as Ti6Al4V with AM has become a common application through the industry. One of the most promising designs for AM is the use of lattice structures that offer lightweight parts with high strength and damping properties. Due to these features, its importance is increasing day by day in sectors requiring high technology such as aerospace. In this study, two different 2D lattice structure specimens having the same lattice density but one with wall thickness, the other one without wall thickness, have been produced with the Electron Beam Melting method and their tensile strength has experimented. Comparing the strain of both specimens, the wall thickness greatly affects the strain values. According to both FEM and tensile tests, the samples with wall thickness demonstrated improved tensile strength behavior. Production was carried out with the same production parameter values. Fracture surfaces are scanned with the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Hoy en día, la fabricación aditiva (AM) hace posible la producción de piezas metálicas complejas, y el uso de la aleación de titanio conocida como Ti6Al4V con AM se ha convertido en una aplicación común en la industria. Uno de los diseños más prometedores para AM es el uso de estructuras de celosía que ofrecen piezas livianas con propiedades de alta resistencia y amortiguación. Debido a estas características, su importancia está aumentando día a día en sectores que requieren alta tecnología como el aeroespacial. En este estudio, dos especímenes de estructura de celosía 2D diferentes que tienen la misma densidad de celosía, pero uno con espesor de pared, el otro sin espesor de pared, se han producido con el método de fusión por haz de electrones y se ha experimentado su resistencia a la tracción. Comparando la deformación de ambas muestras, el espesor de la pared afecta en gran medida los valores de deformación. De acuerdo con las pruebas FEM y de tracción, las muestras con espesor de pared demostraron un comportamiento mejorado de la resistencia a la tracción. La producción se llevó a cabo con los mismos valores de los parámetros de producción. Las superficies de las fracturas se escanean con el microscopio electrónico de barrido (SEM).

This study investigates the feasibility of in-situ manufacturing of a functionally graded metallic-regolith. To fabricate the gradient, digital light processing, an additive manufacturing technique, and spark plasma sintering were selected due to their compatibility with metallic-ceramic processing in a space environment. The chosen methods were first assessed for their ability to effectively consolidate regolith alone, before progressing to sintering regolith directly onto metallic substrates. Optimized processing conditions based on the sintering temperature, initial powder particle size, and different compositions of the lunar regolith powders were identified. Experiments have successfully proven the consolidation of lunar regolith simulants at 1050°C under 80 MPa with digital light processing and spark plasma sintering, while the metallic powders can be fully densified at relatively low temperatures and a pressure of 50 MPa with spark plasma sintering. Furthermore, the lunar regolith and Ti6Al4V gradient was proven to be the most promising combination. While the current study showed that it is feasible to manufacture a functionally graded metallic-regolith, further developments of a fully optimized method have the potential to produce tailored, high-performance materials in an off-earth manufacturing setting for the production of aerospace, robotic, or architectural components., SPOOL, Vol. 8 No. 2: Cyber-physical Architecture #4

Funkcionalno gradientni materiali (FGM) imajo pomemben potencial na različnih inženirskih področjih kot so orodjarstvo, avtomobilska, letalska in vesoljska industrija ter energetika. Pri izdelavi FGM s procesom laserske direktne depozicije (LDD) je ključnega pomena dovod homogene mešanice prahu na mesto depozicije v ustreznem razmerju masnih deležev izbranih komponent. To zahteva ustrezno nadgradnjo obstoječega sistema za LDD kovinskega prahu. V ta namen smo okarakterizirali odzivni čas diskastega podajalnika ter čas potovanja prahu od diska do mesta depozicije ter preverili sestavo komponent mešanice prahu na mestu depozicije prahu. Na osnovi rezultatov smo prilagodili obstoječi krmilni algoritem. Z nadgrajenim sistemom smo izdelali različne primere tanko stenskih FGM vzorcev iz komponent prahu nerjavnega jekla 316L in inconela 718 ter jih ovrednotili. Iz rezultatov je razvidno, da s tovrstno nadgradnjo dosežemo ustrezna razmerja in primerno homogenost mešanice, ki zagotavljajo izdelavo FGM z željeno materialno sestavo. Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have a high potential in various engineering branches such as toolmaking, energetics, automotive, and aerospace engineering. In fabrication of FGM by laser direct deposition (LDD) it is crucial to deliver homogenous mixture of powders with selected ratios of component mass flow into the deposition spot. For this purpose, the existing LDD system had to be accordingly upgraded. To achieve this, the response time of disc powder feeder and the powder travel time were characterized as well as the composition of the delivered powder was validated. Based on the results, the existing control algorithm was modified. Various examples of thin wall FGM samples composed of stainless steel 316L and Inconel 718 were fabricated with the upgraded LDD system and evaluated. The results have confirmed that using the upgraded system, the predefined ratios and homogeneity of the powder mixture were achieved, assuring fabrication of FGMs with desired material composition properties.

International audience; Laser Cladding is one of the leading additive manufacturing technologies enabling the repair of metallic components. Their fatigue reliability depends directly on the material microstructure and consequently on the process parameters. This study highlights the influence of the interlayer dwell time on single-track walls for Inconel 718 repaired components. EBSD analyses show that dwell time both reduces grain size and creates a textural stretch of the microstructure. An optimal dwell time between the writing of successive layers can then be introduced to target a specified microstruc-ture gradient at the interface between the original part and the repaired deposit.

The arrival on the market of a new kind of CNC machines which can both add and remove material to an object paved the way to a new approach to the problem of repairing damaged components. The additive operation is performed by a Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) tool, while the subtractive one is a machining task. Up to now, repair operations have been carried out manually and for this reason they are errors prone, costly and time consuming. Refurbishment can extend the life of a component, saving raw materials and resources. For these reasons, using a precise and repeatable CNC machine to repair valuable objects is therefore very attractive for the sake of reliability and repeatability, but also from an economical and environmental point of view. One of the biggest obstacles to the automation of the repairing process is represented by the fact that the CAM software requires a solid CAD model of the damage to create the toolpaths needed to perform additive operations. Using a 3D scanner the geometry of the damaged component can be reconstructed without major difficulties, but figuring out the damage location is rather difficult. The present work proposes the use of octrees to automatically detect the damaged spot, starting from the 3D scan of the damaged object. A software named DUOADD has been developed to convert this information into a CAD model suitable to be used by the CAM software. DUOADD performs an automatic comparison between the 3D scanned model and the original CAD model to detect the damaged area. The detected volume is then exported as a STEP file suitable to be used directly by the CAM. The new workflow designed to perform a complete repair operation is described placing the focus on the coding part. DUOADD allows to approach the repairing problem from a new point of view which allows savings of time and financial resources. The successful application of the entire process to repair a damaged die for injection molding is reported as a case study. In the last part of this work the strategies used to apply new material on the worn area are described and discussed. This work also highlights the importance of using optimal parameters for the deposition of the new material. The procedures to find those optimal parameters are reported, underlying the pros and cons. Although the DLD process is very energy efficient, some issues as thermal stresses and deformations are also reported and investigated, in an attempt to minimize their effects.

AM samples both in as-deposited and heat-treated states have been subjected to microstructural and phase characterization. Mechanical testing has been performed to heat-treated samples with respect to the build directions. AM samples were made by Direct Laser Deposition under the three different levels of efficient energy from Inconel 718 powder. As-deposited samples contained dispersed particles of Fe 2 Ti Laves phase, NbC and NbNC as well as starting clusters of γ′ phase. Although the standard heat treatment at 980 °C was found to result in partial dissolution of Laves phase precipitation of δ phase occurred around it. Depletion in Nb of Ni-based matrix due to formation of NbC, NbNC and Laves phase in as-deposited states causes precipitation of γ′ phase as the main strengthening phase in heat-treated states. Fatigue crack propagation manners were analyzed with fractography. Fine columnar dendrite structure of samples tested in parallel build direction to the loading is much more resistant to fatigue crack propagation. Fatigue crack bypass dispersed Laves phase which is fixed in matrix by δ phase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The direct laser deposition process successfully produced a bulk material by mixing 50% Inconel 625 powders (M625) with 50% AISI 431 steel powders (M42C). The properties of this new material, such as tensile strength and wear resistance, were evaluated. The microstructure was also analysed using scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the formation of defects and second phases in the bulk material were investigated by applying a tomography analysis. M625-M42C bulk material shows tensile strength and abrasive wear behaviour similar to Inconel 625 alloy, suggesting a potential replacement material for the more expensive Inconel 625. This study is focused on an innovative material, which had not yet been produced as a bulk, allowing the evaluation of the mechanical and metallurgical characteristics promoted by this mixture of powders. In addition, this deposition methodology seems very interesting for cladding or repair objectives since the failure did not happen at the transition interface between deposited bulk and substrate. • Bulks production by mixing Inconel 625 (M625) and AISI 431 (M42C) powders by Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) technique. • Mechanical and microstructural properties evaluation of the bulks M42C, M625 and M625-M42C. • Strong metallurgical bonding M625-M42C bulk to the substrate and between all successive layers. • Mechanical properties of M625-M42C bulk deposited by DLD, similar to wrought Inconel 625. • Fracture surface fracture analysis produced by tensile tests [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A non weldable Ni-based DD98 superalloy was manufactured by direct laser deposition (DLD). The as-built samples show a heterogeneous microstructure along the build direction, which is associated with energy input. High energy input results in the formation of columnar grains with <001> very well aligned to the build direction. However, a cluster of voids preferentially distributes along columnar grain boundary, leading to poor ductility (e.g., ∼2.3% elongation) of the deposit as its strain direction is perpendicular to the build direction. Fine dendrite and γ′ precipitate are observed in the sample fabricated by low energy input, which is associated with fast cooling rate after solidification. Secondary phases excluding γ′, such as MC carbide and HfO 2 are observed in dendrite and interdendritic regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A continuous wave 5 kW fiber laser welding system was used to deposit INCONEL® alloy 718 (IN718) layers in conduction mode by applying filler wire with a composition similar to the parent metal, which was extracted directly from a scrapped, service-exposed IN718 aerospace component. The quality of the deposits was characterized in both the as-deposited and fully heat-treated conditions in terms of the macrostructure, defects, microstructure, and hardness. Integral deposits with no visible porosity were obtained using the fiber laser deposition technique. In the as-deposited clad zone, weld metal liquation cracking led to the presence of minor microcracks in the lower layer beads near the layer interface. The crack healing behavior observed after post-clad heat treatment of the IN718 deposits supports the marked potential of using the laser deposition technique by filler wire addition to manufacture and repair/remanufacture superalloy components for aerospace applications.

The shape complexity of aerospace components is continuously increasing, which encourages researchers to further refine their manufacturing processes. Among such processes, blown powder direct laser deposition process is becoming an economical and energy efficient alternative to the conventional machining process. However, depending on their magnitudes, the distortion and residual stress generated during direct laser deposition process can affect the performance and geometric tolerances of manufactured components. This article reports an investigation carried out using the finite element analysis method to predict the distortion generated in an aero-engine component produced by the direct laser deposition process. The computation of the temperature induced during the direct laser deposition process and the corresponding distortion on the component was accomplished through a three-dimensional thermo-structural finite element analysis model. The model was validated against measured distortion values of the real component produced by direct laser deposition process using a Trumpf DMD505 CO2 laser. Various direct laser deposition fill patterns (orientation strategies/tool movement) were investigated in order to identify the best parameters that will result in minimum distortion.

Abstract: Direct laser deposition of metal matrix composite provides a very promising method to fabricate non-homogeneous material in one step directly from CAD drawings. During this process, reinforcing hard particle phase is mixed with the liquid matrix material to change the material property. Despite its usefulness, an understanding of interaction between the reinforcing particle and matrix material in the molten pool still remains as a challenge to determining the final properties of the fabricated composite. In this paper, distinct comprehensive modeling is presented to describe the complex transport phenomena during direct laser deposition of metal matrix composite. The molten pool thermal and fluidic behavior with the inter-phase coupling between particles and matrix material is modeled. To track the particle distribution, a species transport equation for particle mass fraction, as well as algebraic expressions considering possible different phase velocities, is combined with the other deposition governing equations. The mixture properties of composite are obtained by incorporating the volume fraction of each phase. The simulated average particle volume fractions agree with the experimental results and the model can be used to design the properties of the composite synthesised by the laser direct deposition process.

For the first time, the influence of laser power, scan speed, scan spacing and nominal laser power density on the tensile properties, dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, number of cracks and top surface concavity of samples of Hastelloy X manufactured using a laser powder bed facility, has been assessed systematically on three-dimensional samples. It has been found that the nominal laser power density is the dominant factor, but the influence of scan spacing and scan speed can sometimes be significant. Density of >99·5% can be obtained using most conditions. Cracks are observed at corners of the samples. An optimised process window can be derived from the above systematic analysis under which the component can be built smoothly, with good surface finish and dimensional accuracy, consistent mechanical properties and the properties are comparable with those of forged products.

- Abstract
Laser-based metal deposition has been considered and applied as one of the most promising techniques for repairing high-value aerospace components such as turbines and vanes. Low component distortion and minimum heat input are the main advantages of laser-based alloy deposition techniques. The currently used laser deposition techniques are based on the gas delivery of metallic powders to the laser-generated melt pool. Despite efforts in improving delivery nozzle designs, the powder usage efficiency is still not 100 per cent, with some powders ejected from the deposition points, and powder feeding cannot be rapidly switched on and off to synchronize with laser-firing actions; this causes wastage of high-cost superalloy materials and contamination of the work environment. To mitigate this process deficiency, a gas-free vibration powder delivery system has been developed. The system uses sonic or ultrasonic vibration to exert a distributed driving force on the powder and to assist its delivery to the laser-generated melt pool. Three different configurations (off-axial, coaxial, and multiple-stream) were designed and evaluated. The initial problems encountered were instability of the powder flowrate owing to jamming and mass variations. Through various stages of design and optimization, the powder flowrate from these nozzles was found both to be highly stable and to have fast dynamic responses to the electrical control signals. Experiments on the deposition of various alloy materials including Inconel 718 were carried out with a 1.5 kW diode laser, a 1 kW single-mode fibre laser, and a 7 kW multimode fibre laser. They showed that 100 per cent deposition efficiency can be achieved by using the developed vibration delivery system. The deposition quality in terms of the surface roughness, microstructure, and porosity was also much improved in comparison with gas delivery laser deposition techniques. In addition, a high-volume material deposition rate at 3.31 kg/h has been demonstrated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) is an emerging technology which shows great potential for direct manufacture. The high accuracy required makes DLD process control a challenge, especially compositional monitoring in real-time. The in situ application of spectroscopy is a very powerful tool to get more information about the created composition. Identification of elements by spectra lines can determine how the melt pool composition has been changed by laser irradiation in real-time. The work reported here centres on studies performed with laser cladding system and investigates the feasibility of applying real-time spectroscopy and fast digital imaging to the DLD process.

Abstract: Currently many aircraft and aero engine components are machined from billets or oversize forgings. This involves significant cost, material wastage, lead-times and environmental impacts. Methods to add complex features to another component or net-shape surface would offer a substantial cost benefit. Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), currently being applied to the repair of worn or damaged aero engine components, was attempted in this work as an alternative process route, to build features onto a base component, because of its low heat input capability. In this work, low heat input and high-rate deposition was developed to deposit Inconel 718 powder onto thin plates. Using the optimised process parameters, a number of demonstrator components were successfully fabricated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Direct laser deposition offers a widespread spectrum of applications. Creating functional surfaces for forming tools is one of them where inexpensive material for the main tool body is complemented layer by layer with a second material to tune the desired properties and shape. Investigations on coating mild tool steel with copper alloy have been carried out to outline the chances and challenges in this cost effective way of producing forming tools for processing stainless steels, e.g. 1.4301. This paper reports on experimental investigations showing the influence of the absolute angle of the tool surface and the relative angle between surface and laser beam/powder nozzle on the process window and the mechanical properties that can be obtained.

The present work seeks to extend the level of understanding of the stress field evolution during direct laser deposition (DLD) of a 3.2 mm thick multilayer wall of Ti-6Al-4V alloy by theoretical and experimental studies. The process conditions were close to the conditions used to produce large-sized structures by the DLD method, resulting in specimens having the same thermal history. A simulation procedure based on the implicit finite element method was developed for the theoretical study of the stress field evolution. The accuracy of the simulation was significantly improved by using experimentally obtained temperature-dependent mechanical properties of the DLD-processed Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The residual stress field in the buildup was experimentally measured by neutron diffraction. The stress-free lattice parameter, which is decisive for the measured stresses, was determined using both a plane stress approach and a force-momentum balance. The influence of the inhomogeneity of the residual stress field on the accuracy of the experimental measurement and the validation of the simulation procedure are analyzed and discussed. Based on the numerical results it was found that the non-uniformity of the through-thickness stress distribution reaches a maximum in the central cross-section, while at the buildup ends the stresses are distributed almost uniformly. The components of the principal stresses are tensile at the buildup ends near the substrate. Furthermore, the calculated equivalent plastic strain reaches 5.9% near the buildup end, where the deposited layers are completed, while the plastic strain is practically equal to the experimentally measured ductility of the DLD-processed alloy, which is 6.2%. The experimentally measured residual stresses obtained by the force-momentum balance and the plane stress approach differ slightly from each other.

Abstract: The laser deposition of AISI316 powder blended with Cr3C2 over austenitic stainless steel plate was carried out as part of an investigation aimed at determining the feasibility of applying localized reinforcement to stainless steel components. The chromium carbide powder dissolved in the process to produce a range of carbides which reinforced and increased the hardness of the material. The results of optical microscope metallography and SEM/EDX and XRD analysis as well as microhardness measurements are reported. Surfaces produced by deposition of the powder blend were machine-ground and subjected to pin-on-disc and corrosion tests. The tests indicated an improvement to sliding wear resistance and a good resistance to salt spray and pitting corrosion conditions. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Stellite alloys are widely utilized in aerospace and automotive applications due to their excellent wear resistance which is strongly dependent on the mechanical mixture layer (MML). However, the formation of MML under light load or low temperature is significantly restricted, leading to poor tribological performance. This study reported the tribomechanical evaluations of different CoCrWAlNi x Al y alloys obtained by direct laser deposition, with specific attention to the impact of aluminum and nickel content on the structure-property relationship. The wear performance was evaluated by a ball-on-disc test and microstructural features of worn surface and sub-surface were characterized by SEM, XPS and TEM. Results indicated that both aluminum and nickel facilitate the formation of MML consisting of nano-oxides, whereas the resultant wear resistance varies. The MML formed by the aluminum addition was beneficial for lubrication and wear resistance where the reduction of both mass and volume loss by 50% was determined. In comparison, the MML formed by the nickel addition at a higher temperature was easy to peel off, indicating less efficient protection. Finally, an improved wear model for the cobalt-based alloy was proposed to reveal the characteristics of MML based on the analysis of the theoretical stress field. [Display omitted] • Al and Ni addition influenced friction and wear behavior by changing formation and evolution of mechanical mixture layer. • Stability of mechanical mixture layer was evaluated by stress field theory calculation. • CoCrWAl 2 alloy had best wear resistance among all alloys owing to its stable and ductile mechanical mixture layer.

The codeposition of tungsten carbide agglomerates or sintered chromium carbide powder with AISI316 stainless steel powder was carried out to evaluate parameters and produce surfaces for pin on disc wear tests. The wear resistance of the surfaces was improved by the addition of both materials, with the tungsten carbide reinforcement resulting in a higher wear performance while the chromium carbide produced better surface consistency. The deposition and structure of these test pieces are described and the outcome of the tests carried out reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Данная выпускная квалификационная работа посвящена построению модели, которая бы позволила определить размер включений γ'-фазы, выпадающей в пересыщенном твёрдом растворе в процессе прямого лазерного выращивания в зависимости от условий обработки. Задачи, решаемые в ходе работы: 1. Решение задачи о распространении тепловых полей от распреде-лённого лазерного источника. При этом отдельно решаются задача о нагреве частиц присадочного порошка и задача о нагреве поверхности полубесконеч-ного тела лазерным источником. 2. Решение задачи о росте интерметаллидной фазы Ni3Al, совместно решая задачу об изменении концентрации Al на поверхности растущего включения. 3. Провести верификацию построенной модели на основании данных исследования. Анализ результатов работы показал, что построенная модель выдаёт удовлетворительные результаты, однако на режимах, для которых характерны высокие мощности лазерного источника, наблюдаются большие отклонения от экспериментальных значений. Данные отклонения коррелируют с количеством выпадающих карбидов, что в свою очередь связано с высокими температурами обработки на данных режимах. Для уточнение данной модели требуется включить в модельное описание образование различных фаз с их взаимным влиянием через концентрацию примесей в твёрдом растворе, а также сложное легированное состояние γ'-фазы., The given work is devoted to the construction of a model that makes it possible to determine the size of the precipitates of the γ' - phase forming in a permeated solid solution during direct laser deposition, depending on the processing modes. This research set the following goals: 1. Solution of the problem of propagation of thermal fields from a distributed laser source. In this case, the problem of heating the particles of the filler powder and the problem of heating the surface of a semi-infinite body with a laser source are solved separately. 2. Solving the problem of growth of the intermetallic phase of Ni3Al, jointly solving the problem of changing the concentration of Al on the surface of the growing precipitate. 3. Perform verification of the constructed model based on the research data. The analysis of the results showed that the constructed model gives satisfactory results. However, large deviations from the experimental values are observed in the modes characterized by high power of the laser source. These deviations correlate with the amount of carbides that fall out, which in turn is associated with high processing temperatures in these modes. To refine this model, it is necessary to include in the model description the formation of different phases with their mutual influence through the concentration of impurities in a solid solution, as well as the complex doped state of the γ'-phase.

For this purpose, a review of the literature on existing technologies for improving the efficiency of the additive technology process was conducted. An experiment was conducted to measure the powder capture coefficient by jet nozzles. The data obtained were compared with the data obtained in the real process of direct laser deposition, and differences were found between the data obtained in the real process and the data obtained on the experimental stand. A graph of the dependence of the width of the deposited roller on the efficiency of the process is constructed. From this graph, an approximation curve and a formula for calculating the efficiency of the process depending on the width of the deposited roller are obtained. The risks affecting the efficiency of the direct laser deposition process were assessed. Possible ways to solve these risks are shown. A coefficient has been determined that can neutralize the risk of these risks at a minimum cost to the efficiency of the process. A method for calculating the amount of powder required to maintain a stable process of direct laser deposition is described.
