    | Abstract Scope | The release of residual stresses in Inconel 625 materials during post-build annealing is investigated with the help of neutron imaging. The 25 x 15 x 6 mm3 samples were printed using the powder-bed metal laser melting additive manufacturing technique. With the help of energy-resolved neutron imaging we measure, in-situ, the strain map distribution within as-built samples and during their subsequent stress relief annealing in a vacuum furnace at 700°C and 875°C. Despite the limited accuracy of in-situ lattice strain reconstruction during annealing, the results indicate that most of the strain relaxation occurs at 700°C within 2-3 hours. Relaxation of the strain at 875°C happened at a much faster rate. We also performed simulations of the AM build process to predict the residual stress distributions as a function of the build process parameters. The simulation results are in a good agreement with experiments, confirming their usefulness for simulation validation. |
