Abstract Scope |
Additively manufactured (AM) metals exhibit spatial variability in microstructural features, causing their effective mechanical properties to differ throughout a part. For fatigue applications, predicting location-dependent fatigue properties in AM components could enable identification of life-limiting regions and inform design and qualification strategies. Here, we leveraged a pre-trained deep learning (DL) model on a transfer-learning task of mapping microstructural images in AM SS316L to location-dependent fatigue properties. The DL model was first trained to predict homogenized stress-strain response given 3D images of microstructural subvolumes within an AM domain. Transfer learning was then applied to predict the evolution of fatigue indicator parameters under fully reversed loading. This work demonstrates the transferability of a DL model trained from relatively simple (monotonic) behavior to more complex behavior, enabling rapid predictions of location-dependent fatigue performance in AM components. SNL is managed and operated by NTESS under DOE NNSA contract DE-NA0003525. |
