Currently, most experimental/modeling efforts are aimed at studying the role of melt-pool dynamics and rapid solidification on microstructure formation during additive manufacturing (AM). However, we are interested in studying the solid-state microstructural evolution occurring after solidification, i.e. during solid-state thermal cycling (SSTC) due to the continuation of the building process; large thermo-mechanical driving forces are generated during SSTC which can result in important microstructural changes. In this talk, some novel results from a series of in-situ TEM SSTC experiments performed on an AM steel will be presented. The motivation behind these tests comes from the intractability of following in-situ microstructural changes during AM within the processing chamber. Instead, we reproduce the same SSTC, that the material would experience during AM, inside a TEM to facilitate in-situ observations. The in-situ TEM experiments provide novel insight on the changes induced by SSTC to the submicron-sized precipitates and dislocation structures. |
