Abstract

Abstract Additive manufacturing of metal alloys produces microstructures that are typically very different from those produced by more traditional manufacturing approaches. Computer simulations are useful for connecting processing, structure, and performance for these materials, but validation data that span this full range is difficult to produce. This research is part of a broad effort by the Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Test Series to produce such datasets for laser powder bed fusion builds of nickel Alloy 718. Here, single laser tracks produced with variations in laser power, scan velocity, and laser diameter, and arrays of adjacent laser tracks on bare wrought Alloy 718 plates are examined using optical microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy.
