Preparation of Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb bulk metallic glasses by laser powder bed fusion: Microstructure and properties
摘要： In this work, laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) was employed for the preparation of {(Fe0.6Co0.4)0.75B0.2Si0.05}96Nb4 bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Microstructural evolution, thermal stability and mechanical properties of LPBF-processed samples using different laser power and scanning speed were systematically investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microscopy analysis (EPMA), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nanoindentation. The results show that low area energy input facilitates the formation of Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb BMGs with a large amorphous fraction. LPBF-processed sample with an area energy density of 1.25 J/mm2 (at a laser power of 60 W and a scanning speed of 600 mm/s) exhibits a nearly fully glassy microstructure with an amorphous fraction of approximately 99%, meanwhile identical characteristic properties of LPBF-processed samples are correlated with the processing parameters during LPBF. This work demonstrates that LPBF is a promising method to prepare fully amorphous Fe-Co-B-Si-Nb BMGs. The results provide key insights for the fabrication of BMGs and BMGs composites with the desired microstructure possessing almost and properties by additive manufacturing.

Influence of processing parameters on the density of 316L stainless steel parts manufactured through laser powder bed fusion
摘要： Additive manufacturing technologies are becoming more popular, as they allow the fabrication of specific parts with complex geometries not achievable by conventional manufacturing. In metal additive manufacturing, one of the most widely used technologies is laser powder bed fusion. This work focuses on the influence of different processing parameters on the density of AISI 316L stainless parts obtained through this technology. The article presents a review of published works on the deposition of AISI 316L stainless steel using laser powder bed fusion to define an optimal range of parameters to produce parts with densities above 99%, complemented by density measurements for new sets of laser powder bed fusion processing parameters within the defined optimal range. The investigation provides a further insight on the effect of operating parameters such as vector size and gas atmosphere (Nitrogen and Argon) on the part density. The density measurements were performed using two techniques: micrograph analysis and Archimedes method. Results reveal that an increase in vector size has a negative influence on part density. With the Archimedes method, a maximum relative density of 99.87% was achieved using Nitrogen atmosphere, showing that it is possible to produce near fully dense parts by laser powder bed fusion without post-processing by laser re-melting.

Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Precipitation-Hardened Martensitic Stainless Steels: A Review
摘要： Martensitic stainless steels are widely used in industries due to their high strength and good corrosion resistance performance. Precipitation-hardened (PH) martensitic stainless steels feature very high strength compared with other stainless steels, around 3-4 times the strength of austenitic stainless steels such as 304 and 316. However, the poor workability due to the high strength and hardness induced by precipitation hardening limits the extensive utilization of PH stainless steels as structural components of complex shapes. Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is an attractive additive manufacturing technology, which not only exhibits the advantages of producing complex and precise parts with a short lead time, but also avoids or reduces the subsequent machining process. In this review, the microstructures of martensitic stainless steels in the as-built state, as well as the effects of process parameters, building atmosphere, and heat treatments on the microstructures, are reviewed. Then, the characteristics of defects in the as-built state and the causes are specifically analyzed. Afterward, the effect of process parameters and heat treatment conditions on mechanical properties are summarized and reviewed. Finally, the remaining issues and suggestions on future research on L-PBF of martensitic precipitation-hardened stainless steels are put forward.

Laser powder bed fusion of Nda??Fea??B permanent magnets
摘要： In this work, we use laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) to produce Nd–Fe–B magnets. A suitable process window is developed, which allows to fabricate isotropic samples with outstanding magnetic performance. The sample quality is mainly defined by the energy input during LPBF and sintering or delamination occurs, if the process parameter are improperly adjusted. Magnetic and structural properties become better as energy input increases, until the material-specific limit for process-ability has been reached. Magnets with coercivity of 886 kA/m (μ0Hc = 1.1 T) and maximum energy product of 63 kJ/m3 can be produced from Nd-lean commercial powder without any post treatment. Thereby, our samples represent the new benchmark for permanent magnets produced by additive manufacturing. On the example of coercivity, the impact of laser power, scan velocity and hatch spacing is discussed. It is shown that coercivity can be sufficiently well described by a simple phenomenological model.

Analytical mechanics modeling of residual stress in laser powder bed considering flow hardening and softening
摘要： Residual stress builds up during the fabrication of components via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process which causes parts to fail due to the crack initiation and growth, low fatigue life, and fall outside of the specified dimensions. During the thermal loading, the grain size affected by strain hardening and flow softening is altered at the subsurface through dynamic recrystallization (DRx) and subsequent recovery. The yield strength of the alloys is largely determined by the size of nucleated grains, and it has a substantial influence on flow stress and residual stress build-up. In this work, a physics-based analytical model is proposed to predict the residual stress affected by the strain hardening, flow softening, and microstructural evolution during L-PBF process with IN718 as a material system for exploration. The temperature field is predicted using a transient moving point heat source approach. Due to the non-uniform heating, materials experience high thermal stress which may exceed the yield strength of the material. The thermal stress is obtained from Green’s functions of stresses due to the point body load. A material constitutive flow stress model known as Johnson-Cook is used to determine the yield surface. This flow stress model is modified to incorporate the effects of flow softening and grain size. The dynamic recrystallization and grain refinement models are used to calculate the grain size using recrystallized volume fraction from nucleation and growth rates. As a result of the cyclic heating and cooling and the fact that the material is yielded, the residual stress build-up is precited using incremental plasticity and kinematic hardening behavior of the metal according to the property of volume invariance in plastic deformation in coupling with the equilibrium and compatibility conditions. Results from the analytical residual stress model showed good agreement with X-ray diffraction measurements used to determine the residual stresses in the IN718 specimens built via L-PBF.

Probing a novel heat source model and adaptive remeshing technique to simulate laser powder bed fusion with experimental validation
摘要： A finite element method based three-dimensional heat transfer model with adaptive remeshing is presented to simulate the building of multiple tracks and layers in laser powder bed fusion of metallic powders with enhanced computational competence. A dimensional analysis is undertaken to define the heat source dimensions as function of laser parameters and properties of alloy powder. The computational model is used to calculate the melt pool cross sections for multiple combinations of laser power and scanning velocities considering multi-track-multi-layer builds of SS316L powder. The computed results are verified extensively with the corresponding experimentally measured ones. The model is utilized further to examine its ability to predict defects such as melt track discontinuity and incomplete fusion between neighboring tracks and layers. Overall, the adaptive remeshing and the proposed heat source expression could significantly enhance the model competence by reducing the computational time and memory while maintaining the accuracy of results in simulating laser powder bed fusion of multiple tracks and layers.

Single-crystalline-like stainless steel 316L with different geometries fabricated by laser powder bed fusion
摘要： In this study, we explored the feasibility of fabricating single-crystalline or single-crystalline-like stainless steel 316L (SS316L) with different geometries (thin struts, cubes, walls and a simulated pump impeller) using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The LPBF-fabricated SS316L thin struts possessed a single-crystalline core featuring a ?110? ∥ building direction (BD) crystallographic texture. The cubes, walls and the pump impeller preserved this ?110? ∥ BD texture and also exhibited a well-defined single-crystalline-like {110}?001? Goss texture. Cellular sub-grain structures with their primary dendrite arm spacing (PDAS) values smaller than 1 μm were discovered in all the samples with their growth directions showing a 45° angular deviation from the BD. Nanoscale precipitates and dislocations were also found in the cellular sub-grain structures of the thin struts. The mechanical properties of different geometries (the thin struts, the walls, and the simulated pump impeller) were studied and compared. The anisotropic mechanical responses of the walls and the simulated pump impeller were correlated with their crystallographic textures.

Pore space characteristics and corresponding effect on tensile properties of Inconel 625 fabricated via laser powder bed fusion
摘要： In this work, the tensile behavior of Inconel 625 parts fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) at different laser power levels is examined, and correlated to bulk porosity as well as pore characteristics such as pore size, aspect ratio morphology, and polar orientation extracted from X-ray computed tomography (CT). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is employed to identify the fracture mode and origin of failure in the pulled samples. Microstructural examination on the as-built samples showed that increasing the laser power resulted in the transition of melting mode, from lack of fusion to keyhole, with an increase in part bulk density from 98.86% to 99.29%, respectively. It was found that the general bulk porosity level does not correlate directly with the Ultimate Tensile Strength (ranging between 780–820 MPa) and strain to fracture (ranging between 0.2–0.39) behavior of the parts. Detailed pore space characteristics obtained from CT datasets before and after the tensile test contributed to establishing a relationship between defects size, morphology, orientation and tensile properties of the samples. In general, it was found that strain to failure is directly influenced by pore space characteristics, while tensile strength is influenced by a combination of pore space and microstructural characteristics. This study also identified that there are systematic bias effects in the LPBF process, likely introduced by the combination of nuisance variables such as powder layer spreading and gas flow.

Defect-free Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb with a high temperature inductive preheating system
摘要： In the industrial panorama, Laser Powder Bed Fusion systems enable the near net shaping of metal powders into complex geometries with unique design features. This makes the technology appealing for many industrial applications, which require high performance materials combined with lightweight design, lattice structures and organic forms. However, many of the alloys that would be ideal for the realisation of these functional components are classified as difficult to weld due to their cracking sensitivity. γ-TiAl alloys are currently processed via Electron Beam Melting to produce components for energy generation applications. The Electron Beam Melting process provides crack-free processing thanks to the preheating stages between layers, but lacks geometrical precision. The use of laser powder bed fusion could provide the means for higher precision, and therefore an easier post-processing stage. However, industrial Laser Powder Bed Fusion systems employ resistive heating elements underneath the base plate which do not commonly reach the high temperatures required for the processing of γ-TiAl alloys. Thus, elevated temperature preheating of the build part and control over the cooling rate after the deposition process is concluded are amongst the features which require further investigations. In this work, the design and implementation of a novel inductive high temperature Laser Powder Bed Fusion system to process Ti-48Al-2Cr-2Nb is presented. Specimens were built with preheating at 800 °C and the cooling rate at the end of the build was controlled at 5 °C/min. Crack formation was suppressed and apparent density in excess of 99 % was achieved.

A convolutional neural network for prediction of laser power using melt-pool images in laser powder bed fusion
摘要： In laser powder bed fusion, a convolutional neural network could build a good regression model to predict a laser power value from a melt-pool image. To empirically validate it, we used the acquired image data from a monitoring system inside metal additive manufacturing equipment and optimally configured a convolutional network by the grid search of hyper-parameters. The proposed network showed only 0.12 % of test images were out of the criterion for judging the predicted laser power value to be reliable and showed more accurate results than deep feed-forward neural network in the prediction of laser power states unseen in training steps. We expect that the proposed model could be utilized to discover the problematic position in additive-manufactured layers causing defects during a process.
