Localized melt-scan strategy for site specific control of grain size and primary dendrite arm spacing in electron beam additive manufacturing

Journal Article Raghavan, Narendran ; Simunovic, Srdjan ; Dehoff, Ryan ; ... - Acta Materialia

In addition to design geometry, surface roughness, and solid-state phase transformation, solidification microstructure plays a crucial role in controlling the performance of additively manufactured components. Crystallographic texture, primary dendrite arm spacing (PDAS), and grain size are directly correlated to local solidification conditions. We have developed a new melt-scan strategy for inducing site specific, on-demand control of solidification microstructure. We were able to induce variations in grain size (30 μm–150 μm) and PDAS (4 μm - 10 μm) in Inconel 718 parts produced by the electron beam additive manufacturing system (Arcam®). A conventional raster melt-scan resulted in a grain size ofmore »« less

Site specific control of crystallographic grain orientation through electron beam additive manufacturing

Journal Article Dehoff, Ryan R. ; Sames, William J. ; Bilheux, Hassina Z. ; ... - Materials Science and Technology

Site specific control of the crystallographic orientation of grains within metal components has been unachievable prior to the advent of metals additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. To demonstrate the capability, the growth of highly misoriented micron-scale grains outlining the letters D, O, and E, through the thickness of a 25.4 mm tall bulk block comprised of primarily columnar [001] oriented grains made of the nickel-base superalloy Inconel 718 was promoted. To accomplish this, electron beam scan strategies were developed based on principles of columnar to equiaxed transitions during solidification. Through changes in scan strategy, the electron beam heat source can rapidlymore »« less

Effect of hypoeutectic boron additions on the grain size and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V manufactured with powder bed electron beam additive manufacturing

Journal Article Mahbooba, Zaynab ; West, Harvey ; Harrysson, Ola ; ... - JOM. Journal of the Minerals, Metals & Materials Society

In additive manufacturing, microstructural control is feasible via processing parameter alteration. However, the window for parameter variation for certain materials, such as Ti-6Al-4V, is limited, and alternative methods must be employed to customize microstructures. Grain refinement and homogenization in cast titanium alloys has been demonstrated through the addition of hypoeutectic concentrations of boron. This work explores the influence of 0.00 wt.%, 0.25 wt.%, 0.50 wt.%, and 1.0 wt.% boron additions on the microstructure and bulk mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V samples fabricated in an Arcam A2 electron beam melting (EBM) system with commercial processing parameters for Ti-6Al-4V. Analyses of EBM fabricatedmore »« less

Correlations of cracking with scan strategy and build geometry in electron beam powder bed additive manufacturing

Journal Article Lee, Yousub ; Kirka, Michael ; Ferguson II, James ; ... - Additive Manufacturing

The extension of metal additive manufacturing (AM) to non-weldable Ni-based superalloys remains a challenge for the electron beam melting process. Various cracking mechanisms, including solidification, liquation, strain-age, and ductility dip cracking, make it difficult to fabricate traditionally non-weldable Ni-based superalloys using the AM process. Because airfoil geometries are highly complicated, the correspondingly complex thermal signatures lead to various types of cracking in geometries that are under severe mechanical restraints during the printing process. This work aims to understand the correlations between cracking, scan strategy, and part geometry in airfoil geometries. Crack locations were monitored via an in-situ near-infrared camera duringmore »« less

A stochastic scan strategy for grain structure control in complex geometries using electron beam powder bed fusion

Journal Article Plotkowski, A. J. ; Ferguson, J. ; Stump, B. ; ... - Additive Manufacturing

Spatial control of microstructure within a three-dimensional component has been a dream of materials scientists for centuries. However, limitations in traditional manufacturing processes prevent detailed control over the distribution of microstructures in a single part. Here, we demonstrate the ability to control grain structure and crystallographic texture during metal additive manufacturing for arbitrary cross-sections of a practical size, with profound implications for the design and optimization of next-generation products. The key to this advance is a new geometry agnostic scan path algorithm that manipulates the spatial distribution of solidification conditions. Utilizing a fundamental understanding of solidification dynamics and a modelmore »« less
