Abstract Scope |
While the rapid solidification, multiple heating and cooling cycles, and feedstock composition variations that occur during additive manufacturing (AM) processing generate unexpected microstructures and properties, these variations also provide opportunities both for the design of new alloys and for the optimization of existing alloys for AM processes. Several CALPHAD modeling tools can be utilized to optimize post-build processing and thereby tailor AM components to meet specific performance requirements. CALPHAD-based models are used to optimize the strength of AM martensitic stainless steels by limiting the solubility of nitrogen in the initial feedstock and by controlling the Cr/Ni ratio to achieve specific martensite lath microstructures. Post-build heat treatments are optimized using precipitation simulations to optimize the strengthening precipitates (Cu and Nb carbides and carbonitrides). The aqueous corrosion resistance can be qualitatively evaluated and optimized through comparison of multicomponent potential/pH diagrams to those of a wrought alloy composition. |
