| Abstract Scope |
The primary challenge in laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) of tungsten is to achieve higher without solid-state cracking. Strategies to mitigate defects, such as pre-heating the substrate and alloying pure tungsten, have shown considerable success. However, there is still a lack of fundamental understanding of the physical phenomena involved. The present study adopts a CALPHAD informed 3D FE-based thermomechanical computational model to provide a physics-based understanding of crack evolution in AM of tungsten and its alloys. The role of thermal gradient, cooling rate, strain rate, and state of stress in the heat-affected zone in possible cracking mechanisms were elucidated with the help of the developed model. The results from the thermomechanical model were integrated with Scheil-based calculation using CALPHAD to study the effect of compositional change on crack susceptibility of tungsten-based alloys. |
