Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes for metals can yield as-built microstructures that vary significantly from their cast or wrought counterparts. These microstructural variations can in turn, have profound effects on the properties of a component. Here, a modeling methodology is presented to investigate microstructurally-influenced mechanical response in additively manufactured structures via direct numeral simulation. Three-dimensional, synthetic voxelized microstructures are generated by kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) additive manufacturing process simulations performed at four scan speeds to create a thin-wall cylindrical geometry notionally constructed using a concentric-pathed directed energy deposition AM process. The kMC simulations utilize a steady-state molten pool geometry that is held constant throughout the study. Resultant microstructures are mapped onto a highly-refined conformal finite-element mesh of a part geometry. A grain-scale anisotropic crystal elasticity model is then used to represent the constitutive response of each grain. Here, the response of the structure subjected to relatively simple load conditions is studied in order to provide understanding of both the influence of AM processing on microstructure as well as the microstructure's influence on the macroscale mechanical response.

Evaluation of Additively Manufactured Materials for Nuclear Plant Components

Conference Horn, R. M. ; Conner, M. ; Webber, D. ; ...

Powder bed fusion Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM) is an evolving additive manufacturing (AM) fabrication technology that is providing high performance parts to many industries. This technology has significant promise for use in building components for nuclear power plants. Implementation of materials produced using this and similar processes offer a potential step change in efficiency for complex parts production and hence a potential for innovative design as well as cost savings for components in the future. Properties of AM Type 316L have been reported in previous work, showing properties that match wrought properties. The fine grain structure may even leadmore »« less

Modeling mechanical behavior of an additively manufactured metal structure with local texture variations: a study on model form error

Journal Article Brown, Judith Alice ; Bishop, Joseph E. - Modelling and Simulation in Materials Science and Engineering

Here, the repetitive rapid solidification that occurs in metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes creates microstructures distinctly different from wrought materials. Local variability in AM microstructures (either by design or unintentional) raises questions as to how AM structures should be modeled at the part-scale to minimize modeling error. The key goal of this work is to demonstrate a posteriori error estimation applied to an AM part. It is assumed that the actual microstructure is unknown and an approximate, spatially uniform material model is used. Error bounds are calculated for many reference models based on AM microstructures with elongated grain morphology andmore »« less

L2 Milestone 5433: Characterization of Dynamic Behavior of AM and Conventionally Processed Stainless Steel (316L and 304L)

Technical Report Gray, George Thompson ; Livescu, Veronica ; Rigg, P. A. ; ...

For additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials, the certification and qualification paradigm needs to evolve as there currently exists no broadly accepted “ASTM- or DIN-type” additive manufacturing certified process or AM-material produced specifications. Accordingly, design, manufacture, and thereafter implementation and insertion of AM materials to meet engineering applications requires detailed quantification of the constitutive (strength and damage) properties of these evolving materials, across the spectrum of metallic AM methods, in comparison/contrast to conventionally-manufactured metals and alloys. This report summarizes the 316L SS research results and presents initial results of the follow-on study of 304L SS. For the AM-316L SS investigation,more »« less

Simulation of metal additive manufacturing microstructures using kinetic Monte Carlo

Journal Article Rodgers, Theron M. ; Madison, Jonathan D. ; Tikare, Veena - Computational Materials Science

Additive manufacturing (AM) is of tremendous interest given its ability to realize complex, non-traditional geometries in engineered structural materials. But, microstructures generated from AM processes can be equally, if not more, complex than their conventionally processed counterparts. While some microstructural features observed in AM may also occur in more traditional solidification processes, the introduction of spatially and temporally mobile heat sources can result in significant microstructural heterogeneity. While grain size and shape in metal AM structures are understood to be highly dependent on both local and global temperature profiles, the exact form of this relation is not well understood.
