| Abstract Scope |
Niobium Alloy C103 is a material with a shorter background in Laser Powder - Directed Energy Deposition when compared to other materials. However, C103 stands out in having relatively strong mechanical properties at high temperatures. Thus, making it a great candidate for applications such as propulsion, hypersonics, nuclear and more. This poster will present a test plan for quasi-static testing of thin wall specimens to better understand the mechanical response of C103. Thin wall geometries were printed using RPM Innovations’ 222XR LP-DED with a single pass beam. There are several tensile specimens proposed with their corresponding finite element analysis which are discussed in detail in the poster. A total of 4 specimen conditions are proposed: as built, stress relieved (SR), and 2 different hot isostatic press (HIP) heat treatment to then be later subjected to a tensile test. |
