| Abstract Scope |
Despite advances in additive manufacturing (AM), it remains unfeasible to eliminate pore defects in components, making it essential to understand their impact on fatigue performance. This study employs Graph Neural Networks (GNN) to predict the potential fatigue debit caused by individual pores in AM IN718. GNNs are well suited for modeling such microstructure-sensitive phenomena due to their ability to capture local grain–pore interactions through graph-based representations. Hundreds of pores were extracted from computed tomography scans, covering a large range of different sizes and morphologies, and multiple statistically equivalent virtual microstructure models were analyzed for each pore. Crystal plasticity simulations were conducted using an elasto-viscoplastic FFT solver, leveraging its high computational efficiency to generate a large training dataset comprising microstructural descriptors and a fatigue damage metric for lifetime assessments. The proposed GNN offers a rapid means to predict the influence of individual pores on the fatigue performance of AM materials. |
