Abstract

Inconel 718, a nickel-based superalloy, is extensively used in high-performance applications such as gas turbines, aerospace, and the nuclear and oil industries due to its exceptional fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical stability across a broad temperature range (−252 °C to over 700 °C). Its weldability and high-strength properties make it suitable for additive manufacturing (AM), particularly laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). However, the dynamic properties of AM Inconel 718, influenced by surface roughness and microstructural variations, require thorough investigation. This study evaluates the mechanical properties of AM Inconel 718 in two build orientations produced using an EOS M290 printer. Static tests and hardness measurements were conducted to establish baseline properties. The fatigue behaviour was analysed using traditional S-N curve testing alongside a self-heating (S-H) methodology adapted from previous studies on AMed AlSi10Mg. The S-H method, focusing on temperature evolution during cyclic loading, was used to estimate the fatigue limit (FL) and S-N curve predictions. The LinExp method provided slightly conservative FL estimates, which served as lower thresholds for Fargione’s energy-based S-N curve model. Only two specimens per orientation were used, demonstrating its efficiency and resource-saving potential. This work underscores the viability of integrating innovative fatigue analysis techniques with traditional methods to optimize the design and evaluation of additively manufactured components.

期刊介绍： Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies. Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials. Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged. Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
