| Abstract Scope |
Numerical evaluation of microstructure is essential for optimizing products fabricated by the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process in additive manufacturing. In this study, we aim to develop a computational framework for predicting microstructures formed during LPBF. The framework targets two scales: grain-scale and dendrite-scale microstructures. At the grain scale, we focus on estimating grain structures under various scanning strategies by bridging thermal-fluid dynamics with grain growth simulations. At the dendrite scale, we are addressing the challenge of developing a coupled simulation of dendrite growth and thermo-fluid flow to elucidate detailed solidification behavior in the melt pool. All simulation codes are developed in-house, and high-performance computations are performed on a GPU supercomputer to achieve realistic and efficient predictions. |
