The effect of two types of scanning strategies on the grain structure and build-up of Residual Stress (RS) has been investigated in an as-built IN718 alloy produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF). The RS state has been investigated by X-ray diffraction techniques. The microstructural characterization was performed principally by Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), where the application of a post-measurement refinement technique enables small misorientations (< 2°) to be resolved. Kernel average misorientation (KAM) distributions indicate that preferably oriented columnar grains contain higher levels of misorientation, when compared to elongated grains with lower texture. The KAM distributions combined with X-ray diffraction stress maps infer that the increased misorientation is induced via plastic deformation driven by the thermal stresses, acting to self-relieve stress. The possibility of obtaining lower RS states in the build direction as a consequence of the influence of the microstructure should be considered when envisaging scanning strategies aimed at the mitigation of RS.
在激光粉末床熔融(LPBF)制备的IN718合金中,研究了两种扫描策略对晶粒结构和残余应力(RS)积累的影响。通过X射线衍射技术研究了RS状态。微观结构表征主要通过电子背散射衍射(EBSD)进行,其中应用测量后细化技术能够分辨小角度取向差(<2°)。与织构较弱的拉长晶粒相比,择优取向的柱状晶粒的内核平均取向差(KAM)分布表明其包含更高水平的取向差。KAM分布与X射线衍射应力图相结合推断,热应力驱动的塑性变形会诱导取向差增加,从而起到自消除应力的作用。在设想旨在减轻RS的扫描策略时,应考虑由于微观结构的影响而在构建方向上获得较低RS状态的可能性。
