Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms of microstructure evolution is essential for accurately predicting and improving the final mechanical properties of materials. To enable efficient simulation of multi-layer, multi-track additive manufacturing (AM) processes with various scanning strategies, a three-dimensional phase-field (PF) model was developed to capture grain evolution in AM. The model effectively reproduces grain nucleation, epitaxial growth, and coarsening. Three representative scanning strategies (stripe, loop, and chessboard) were experimentally validated. The simulation results showed strong consistency with experimental observations regarding melt pool dynamics, grain morphology, and defect evolution. The crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) was utilized to predict overload fatigue life, and a novel strategy was introduced to rapidly and efficiently estimate fatigue life by reconstructing the microstructure corresponding to different scanning strategies. This study offers novel methodological insights into grain growth and evolution mechanisms in AM and extends the predictive framework for overload fatigue life estimation.
