Microstructure and mechanical properties of wire and arc additive manufactured thin wall with low-temperature transformation
Source abstract
Abstract
Low-temperature transformation (LTT) welding wire was initially developed to mitigate residual stress in the weld. It could also be used for internal stress optimization in Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process. In this study, a 26 layers LTT wall sample fabricated by using the WAAM technique was investigated. The microstructure of the LTT deposited wall includes elongated cellular martensite and reticular residual austenite. With the accumulation of deposition height, the prior austenite grain size increases, and the volume fraction of residual austenite and the density of dislocations in martensite decreases. According to the model of martensite transformation kinetics, the original austenite grain size is the main reason that affects the austenite fraction. In addition, the presence of a thermal cycle leads to the refinement of the martensitic microstructure and the increase in the boundary density, as well as the elimination of the sub-stable austenitic phase resulting in higher tensile properties in the middle samples than in the top ones. From the current work, it is clear that the unique thermal cycle treatment of WAAM is beneficial in improving the performance of LTT materials.
