Title: Volumetric energy density impact on mechanical properties of additively manufactured 718 Ni alloy

Journal Article · · Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

The 718 Ni-based superalloy has gained enormous attention in the additive manufacturing community for its great weldability, allowing for complex geometries to be formed, and its superb mechanical strength. Here we explore the influence of a wide range of major build parameters on microstructures and mechanical properties of 718 Ni alloys. Volumetric energy density appears to be one of the major parameters that captures the relationship between energy input and measured mechanical properties and microstructures of the alloys. A threshold energy density was identified below which the properties of the additively manufactured specimen degrade substantially. Finally, the influence of energy density on the quality of the built specimen simulated using Flow3D AM correlates well with the experimental results.
