| Abstract: | Abstract: Direct metal laser sintering is a rapid manufacturing technique to make intricate and near net-shaped parts. An iron-based laser sintered metal was studied to evaluate its thermal fatigue properties. The test was performed using cylindrical specimens in a high power induction heating system equipped with a laser strain gauge for a contactless surface strain measurement. Initiation of thermal fatigue cracks occurred preferentially at pores and layer interfaces, while propagation of cracks followed along phase boundaries and thin inter-dendritic phases and showed an inter-granular fracture. By using the fundamental Fourier equation for heat conduction, the temperature cycle was modeled and calculated. A thermo elastic ideal plastic model was used to deduce the thermal stress based on surface strain experimentally measured. Finally, the temperature distribution, thermal stresses and mechanical strains were discussed with respect to thermal fatigue damage. [Copyright &y& Elsevier] |
