Title: In situ synchrotron tensile investigations on ultrasonic additive manufactured (UAM) zirconium

Abstract

The microstructure evolution during room temperature uniaxial tensile straining of ultrasonic additive manufactured (UAM) zirconium was evaluated using the Advanced Photon Source (APS) facility. Miniature dog-bone tensile specimens of two orientations were cut from a UAM-fabricated zirconium bar for in situ synchrotron tensile tests. Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) scanning was used to unveil the changes in microstructure of the entire gauge regions throughout the straining. A series of WAXS data analysis methods were utilized to quantify both elastic and plastic deformation mechanisms within the strained specimens. Stress concentrations were identified during early stages of plastic deformation, which become candidate necking positions and eventually lead to failure. Additionally, fracture surface analysis implied that these stress concentration locations may be correlated to the fabrication defects, providing insightful guidance for future improvements of the UAM zirconium fabrication process.
