Evolution of the Structure and Properties of High-Chromium Heat-Resistant VZh159 Alloy Prepared by Selective Laser Melting: Part II
摘要： The evolution of the structural-phase state of the VZh159 alloy fabricated by selective laser melting after various types of thermal exposure and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) is studied. The effect of a long 500-h exposure at temperatures of 800 and 900°C on the phase composition and morphology of structural components is determined. The short-term and long-term strength of the material in various conditions are studied. It is shown that the segregation of dispersed particles of the σ phase after the gas-static treatment followed by aging and after prolonged exposure at high temperatures does not have a significant negative effect on the plastic and strength characteristics of the alloy. The long-term strength of the synthesized metal after the 500-h exposure at a temperature of 900°C corresponds to the certified values for the deformed semifinished product of the VZh159 alloy.

Strategy of Residual Stress Determination on Selective Laser Melted Al Alloy Using XRD
摘要： Selective laser melting (SLM) is known to generate large and anisotropic residual stresses in the samples. Accurate measurement of residual stresses on SLM-produced samples is essential for understanding the residual stress build-up mechanism during SLM, while a dramatic fluctuation can be observed in the residual stress values reported in the literature. On the basis of studying the influence of surface roughness on residual stress measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD), we propose a procedure coupling XRD technique with pretreatment consisting of mechanical polishing and chemical etching. The results highlight that residual stresses measured using XRD on as-built SLM-produced samples with high surface roughness are significantly lower than those measured on samples with finished surface, which is due to the stress relaxation on the spiked surface of as-built samples. Surface distribution of residual stresses and the effect of scanning strategy were systematically investigated for SLM-produced AlSi10Mg samples. Microstructural morphology was observed at the interface between sample and building platform and was linked to the surface distribution of residual stresses. This procedure can help us accurately measure the residual stresses in SLM-produced samples and thus better understand its build-up mechanism during the SLM process.

Collaborative Optimization of Density and Surface Roughness of 316L Stainless Steel in Selective Laser Melting
摘要： Although the concept of additive manufacturing has been proposed for several decades, momentum in the area of selective laser melting (SLM) is ?nally starting to build. In SLM, density and surface roughness, as the important quality indexes of SLMed parts, are dependent on the processing parameters. However, there are few studies on their collaborative optimization during SLM to obtain high relative density and low surface roughness simultaneously in the literature. In this work, the response surface method was adopted to study the in?uences of di?erent processing parameters (laser power, scanning speed and hatch space) on density and surface roughness of 316L stainless steel parts fabricated by SLM. A statistical relationship model between processing parameters and manufacturing quality is established. A multi-objective collaborative optimization strategy considering both density and surface roughness is proposed. The experimental results show that the main e?ects of processing parameters on the density and surface roughness are similar. We observed that the laser power and scanning speed signi?cantly a?ected the above objective quality, but the in?uence of the hatch spacing was comparatively low. Based on the above optimization, 316L stainless steel parts with excellent surface roughness and relative density can be obtained by SLM with optimized processing parameters.

Influence mechanism of process parameters on the interfacial characterization of selective laser melting 316L/CuSn10
摘要： Bimetallic structures can combine the performance of dissimilar metal materials to meet the multifunctional requirement in industrial solutions. In this paper, steel-bronze bimetallic structures were fabricated via self-developed multi-material selective laser melting (SLM) equipment. In order to investigate the influence of laser power, scanning speed, and hatching space on the interfacial characterization, three factors and five levels of orthogonal experiments were performed on twenty layers of CuSn10 tin bronze after forming the 316L stainless steel. Optical microscope (OM), large depth field microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), tensile properties, electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD) and nanoindentation were used to characterize these bimetallic structures to validate the impact from process parameters. The large depth field microscope revealed protrusions at the steel/bronze interface, and its height increased and then decreased with increasing volumetric energy input. Besides, the generation of interfacial defects is related to the interfacial process parameters, and it is found that the types of defects are mainly classified as holes and cracks. Insufficient energy will cause cracks in the horizontal direction and then lead to bonding failure. Conversely, higher energy input will generate microcracks in the vertical direction. The defects near the interfacial region are the main factors affecting the ultimate strength of the bonding strength. As a result, the steel-bronze bimetallic structure displays optimal joint ultimate strength of 459.54±3.08 MPa with elongation of 5.23±0.65%, and minimum joint ultimate strength of 199.02±0.56 MPa with elongation of 1.70±0.22%. Their fracture morphology also exhibited gully-like and fan-shaped features, respectively. Additionally, the EBSD results show that there are fine grain regions appeared in the interfacial region, which helps increase the average nano-hardness of the interfacial region. This study provides a reference for the influence of process parameters on the interfacial characterization and mechanical properties of steel-bronze bimetallic parts prepared by selective laser melting.

Predicting the fatigue life of an AlSi10Mg alloy manufactured via selective laser melting by using data from Computed Tomography
摘要： A modelling strategy is proposed to evaluate the influence of defect morphology on the fatigue limit of additively manufactured Al alloys by: (i) obtaining an x-ray micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) 3D image of the material, (ii) computing the Equivalent Inertia Ellipse of each individual pore, (iii) modelling the influence of the defect on the fatigue limit through the DSG approach and, (iv) 3D mapping the criticality of each individual defect. For this fatigue study, an AlSi10Mg alloy was manufactured by selective laser melting using sub-optimal deposition parameters in order to produce large lack-of-fusion defects. After a T6 heat treatment, tension-compression fatigue tests, with R = -1, were conducted on specimens oriented with their loading axis either parallel or normal to the Z-axis of the additive manufacturing equipment. Two samples were characterised before μ-CT testing in order to characterise the initial 3D defect population. Each sample was fatigued step by step in order to determine the fatigue limit. The fracture surface was then carefully observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) in order to identify the critical defect in the initial μ-CT image. A comparison with the fatigue results led to the following conclusions: (i) when the longest axis of the defect is perpendicular to the load axis, modelling the defect as an equivalent inertia prolate ellipse gives better results (5 % error on the fatigue limit) than modelling it as a simple equivalent sphere (22 % error on the fatigue limit), (ii) the prolate ellipse is not relevant when the longest axis of the defect is oriented along the loading axis; in this case an oblate equivalent ellipse should be used, (iii) the concept of ‘size’ for a complex 3D shaped defect should be linked to the inertia and the loading, (iv) with this approach, surface defects are shown to be more critical than internal ones for fatigue life and, (v) a 3D defect criticality map of the entire sample can be plotted to provide visual feedback on which defects are the most critical for fatigue life.

Optimization of selective laser melting process parameters for Ti-6Al-4V alloy manufacturing using deep learning
摘要： Ti-6Al-4V products manufactured by selective laser melting (SLM) have been extensively used in biomedical, aerospace, and many other industries. However, SLM’s many process parameters and their vast range are barriers to efficiently printing desirable products. Because SLM requires so much time, expenditure, and expert knowledge about the process and materials, SLM printing of Ti-6Al-4 V products needs a pre-processing optimization system. In this paper, an SLM optimization system is developed based on a supervised deep neural network by applying the Python programming language and the TensorFlow library. The outputs of this optimization method are the optimal SLM process parameters, which can be used to produce a product that satisfies a user requirement. With this optimization system, an SLM operator does not need much experience or to spend much time on experimentation to print a desirable product. This system is a significant, important module for pre-processing SLM printing.

Characterisation of 17-4PH metallic powder recycling to optimise the performance of the selective laser melting process
摘要： The advantages of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes are well known. Particularly, those AM techniques which are used to manufacture metallic parts are of great interest to industry due to the good mechanical behaviour of metallic alloys. Despite this, the quality of the manufactured parts is still an important issue due to the wide range of parameters that can affect them. In some powder bed fusion techniques, such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM), not all the initially distributed metallic powder is used in the process. There is an unmolten portion that can be recycled to ensure both the economic and environmental viability of the process. Even though this powder is unmolten, it is thermally affected due to the high temperatures attained during the process. This fact affects the powder properties and, consequently, the properties of the manufactured parts. Therefore, an analysis of the recycling effects of SLM metallic powders is an important issue in order to establish good recycling procedures and to optimise the process performance.

Healing cracks in selective laser melting by 3D laser shock peening
摘要： Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of Ni-based superalloys such as CM247LC is prone to weld-cracking. This paper investigates how to suppress cracks by repeatedly applying Laser Shock Peening (LSP) during the building phase of SLM. Samples made of CM247LC were processed with different LSP parameters, and the influence on bulk crack density has been quantified. It was observed that for all chosen conditions, a significant decrease of up to 95% could be achieved, demonstrating the potential of the new hybrid 3D LSP method in improving SLM processability of alloys sensitive to cracking.

Benchmarking of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Machines
摘要： This paper presents the methodology and results of an extensive benchmarking of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) machines conducted across five top machine producers and two end users. The objective was to understand the influence of the individual machine on the final quality of predesigned specimens, given a specific material and from multiple perspectives, in order to assess the current capabilities and limitations of the technology and compare them with the capabilities of an 11-year-old machine belonging to one of the end users participating in this investigation. The collected results give a clear representation of the status of LPBF technology considering its maturity in terms of process capabilities and potential applications in a production environment.
