Abstract Scope |
In 2018, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) presented additive manufacturing (AM) benchmark specimens. These specimens provide a challenge problem for the modeling and simulation community to evaluate predictive models of the AM build process. These tests included a residual stress/distortion challenge problem for Inconel 625 and 15-5PH stainless steel using laser powder-bed fusion machines.. In 2019, we followed NIST specifications to produce the same geometry using Ti-6Al-4V in a Renishaw AM250 machine. This presentation describes the build process, shows 3D micro-CT scans pre/post-sectioning, and presents distortion measurements following sectioning of the specimen from the build plate. Furthermore, this presentation describes a process-modeling framework to predict residual stresses using a sequential thermo-mechanical approach driven by laser scan strategy. This presentation closes with results from sensitivity studies and validation predictions that highlight predictive capabilities of the residual stress capability by predicting/measuring residual distortion for an aerospace component. |
