Abstract Scope |
Advanced nuclear energy research can benefit greatly from the substantial development of the manufacturing techniques. Advanced manufacturing has shown its promises to change the fashion of designing and building complex engineering systems. Directed energy deposition fabricates components by melting and solidifying metal particles layer by layer with a heating source. The various process parameters in the DED technique allow the ability to tailor material properties of the printed parts. Components fabricated by AM methods has a lot of potential in nuclear energy applications, such as pressure vessels, fuel cladding etc. In this work, SS316L and Inconel718 samples were fabricated with varying printing parameters. To investigate the impact of these parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties, techniques including neutron diffraction residual stress measurement, tensile testing, neutron tomography, and neutron Bragg edge imaging were utilized. The impact of these parameters on material performance provides guidance in utilizing AM techniques for nuclear applications. |
