| Abstract Scope |
Residual stress in as-printed AM parts is caused by extreme cooling rates and large thermal gradients. In complex designs, this process-induced residual stress is also accentuated by the presence of internal features and stress concentrators. Because of the fast cooling, γ’-forming elements are still in solution in the as-printed state and γ’ starts to precipitate during the post-processing heat treatment, adding misfit stress to the residual stress and potentially leading to cracking during manufacture. A multi-step stress relief heat treatment was designed to trigger recovery and recrystallization as γ’ starts to precipitate which allows the matrix to relax and prevents strain-age cracking. This heat treatment was validated on cracking susceptibility artifacts manufactured with GammaPrint™-1100, a novel high γ’ Ni base superalloy for energy/aerospace application. X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction were used to characterize the residual strain evolution during the cycle leading to recovery and relaxation of the residual stress. |
