Influence of scanning speed on microstructures and mechanical properties of SLM produced Hastelloy X: as-built and solution-treated
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Hastelloy X (HX) alloys with ideal strength and ductility match can be obtained by selective laser melting (SLM) and a proper follow-up heat treatment. This work studies the influence of scanning speed on grain size, grain boundary distribution, recrystallization and mechanical properties of as-built HX. These influences are reevaluated after a solution treatment at 1175 °C for 4h. The results reveal that the average grain size decreases, while the aspect ratio, texture intensity and the proportion of high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs) increases with the increase of scanning speed. A small amount of recrystallization has occurred in the as-built alloys due to the cyclic thermal effect of SLM scanning. The finer grains and larger aspect ratio imply the higher energy storage during SLM, which will increase the recrystallizing nucleation rate. Solution treatment eliminates the fiber texture of 〈100〉//BD, significantly increases the HAGBs fraction and recrystallization fraction, reduces the grain aspect ratio, and coarsens the grains. With the increase of scanning speed, the strength of the Hastelloy X increases and the elongation decreases. The decrease of grain size is the main reason for the increase of yield strength.
