The competing role of defects and surface roughness on the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg alloy
Source abstract
Abstract
The fatigue behavior of AlSi10Mg alloy processed by laser-based powder bed fusion of metals (PBF-LB/M) in as-built (AB) and surface treated conditions, is assessed. A new chemo-mechanical polishing (CMP) surface treatment is applied to AB specimens to achieve an average surface roughness of S a ≈ 0.3 μm which is more than two orders of magnitude lower than that of AB specimens ( S a ≈ 48.6 μm). The CMP surface treatment led to a significant improvement in fatigue strength of the alloy as compared to the AB material. The fatigue life of AB + CMP specimens is discovered to be governed by surface or near surface defects, whereas the deepest surface roughness valleys play a dominant role in controlling the fatigue behavior of the AB material. A simplified fracture mechanics-based fatigue life modeling approach was developed by combining real-time defects distribution data from 3D computed tomography (CT) and surface profilometry measurements. The model provided a quick and effective medium for obtaining reasonable first-order fatigue life approximations for AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated using PBF-LB/M.
