Abstract

The application Sinpol, a novel tool for neutron transmission data analysis, is used to simulate the effect of deformation and recrystallization crystallographic textures in fcc materials. The texture is characterized using an orientation distribution function (ODF), which describes the distribution of crystal orientations over the three-dimensional orientation space. The Sinpol code combines the transmission contribution of each single crystal grain in the ODF to generate neutron transmission patterns through a polycrystalline aggregate. A series of texture components, commonly found in fcc materials, are considered and their neutron transmission calculated for further analysis of experimental data. The effect of grain statistics is investigated and the simulation results on more complex ODF textures are also presented. Finally, the neutron transmission simulations are successfully benchmarked on experimental data recorded on an additive manufactured Inconel 718 specimen.

A new approach to texture measurements: Orientation distribution function (ODF) determination by Rietveld refinement

Technical Report Vondreele, R. ; Larson, A. ; Lawson, A. ; ...

The preferred orientation of crystal grains within a manufactured part is described most fully by its orientation distribution function (ODF), which is a mapping of the probability of each of the possible grain orientations with respect to the exterior dimensions. Traditionally, an ODF is determined from pole figures for a relatively small number of reflections. These pole figures are measured with x-rays or neutrons using short detector scans over the center of an individual diffraction peak for a large number of different sample orientations. This is efficient if the selected diffraction peaks are reasonably strong (relative to background) and wellmore »« less

Grain boundary distributions, texture and orientation correlations in austenitic stainless steels

Journal Article Gertsman, V.Y. ; Tangri, K. - Scripta Metallurgica et Materialia

Among various distribution functions describing microstructure of polycrystals, two relate to the crystallite orientations, namely, crystallographic texture and misorientation distribution. Complications arise due to the orientation correlations which may exist between various crystallites of the polycrystalline aggregate. These two factors, viz. texture and orientation correlations, determine the grain boundary distribution in a sample. Contributions of these factors to the misorientation distribution as a whole and to the fractions of specific grain boundary types are yet to be fully understood. Studies have shown that in some materials grain boundary distribution is primarily determined by texture, whereas the orientation correlations may playmore »« less

On the CSL grain boundary distributions in polycrystals. [Coincidence site lattice]

Journal Article Pan, Yu ; Adams, B.L. - Scripta Metallurgica et Materialia; (United States)

CSL (Coincidence Site Lattice) grain boundaries are considered to be special for polycrystals. Compared to non-special, random grain boundaries, they are believed to be low-energy, and they are observed to be resistant to intergranular fracture, creep cavitation, etc. Thus the frequencies of CSL distribution are important in Grain Boundary Characteristics Design (GBCD). In a previous paper, the influence of crystallographic texture on the frequencies of CSL grain boundary distributions in polycrystals was discussed. The authors draw the conclusion that the frequency of CSL-boundaries depends upon texture, but that this frequency is weak for textures which are not sharp. However, themore »« less

Use of EBSD data in mesoscale numerical analyses

Conference Becker, R ; Wiland, H

Experimentation, theory, and modeling have all played vital roles in defining what is known about microstructural evolution and the effects of microstructure on material properties. Recently, technology has become an enabling factor, allowing significant advances to be made on several fronts. Experimental evidence of crystallographic slip and the basic theory of crystal plasticity were established in the early 20th century, and the theory and models evolved incrementally over the next 60 years. During this time, modeling was primarily concerned with the average response of polycrystalline aggregates. While some detailed finite element modeling (FEM) with crystal plasticity constitutive relations was performedmore »« less

Effects of build orientation and heat treatment on the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties of alloy Mar-M-509 fabricated via laser powder bed fusion

Journal Article Ferreri, Nicholas C. ; Ghorbanpour, Saeede ; Bhowmik, Shubhrodev ; ... - International Journal of Plasticity

We present the main results from an experimental investigation into the consequences of various microstructural features, created by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and subsequent heat treatments (HTs), in alloy Mar-M-509 on several aspects of plastic deformation including mechanical anisotropy and elongation-to-fracture (ETF). To ensure successful manufacturing of the alloy, porosity fraction and distribution are first characterized using micro X-ray computed tomography. Next, grain structure, crystallographic texture, and regions of recrystallization in the studied microstructures are measured using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD). Lastly, chemistry, distribution, and morphological features of carbide phases are extracted using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Strengthmore »« less
