| Abstract Scope |
The understanding of the process-structure-property-performance relationship is the key challenge for the qualification of safety-relevant parts made of additively manufactured metallic materials. The complexity of the manufacturing process and the number of influencing parameters affect the properties of test coupons and parts even fabricated in the same batch. This poses the problem of using reliable witness specimens for part qualification. This work presents a new approach which aims at the fabrication of test coupons tailored to the specific microstructure and fatigue properties of a component. The first step consisted in the evaluation of the temperature field by means of process monitoring during the production of parts. The results were used to tailor finite element models which were then used to design witness specimens representative of the thermal history in the component. Finally, the fatigue properties of designed specimens were compared to coupons machined out of the component. |
