Although a wide range of ABS sources are already available on the market, limited research has been conducted to understand the effects of the microstructural and rheological differences among ABS grades on printability, interlayer bond strength, and post-print annealing. In this study, the correlation between microstructure, rheology, and printability are linked by comparing the dimensional stability, interfacial morphology, and part strength of select commercial ABS grades that are as-printed and annealed. Notably, ABS grade produced by mass polymerization (mABS), which has a broader polybutadiene (PBD) particle size distribution, larger PBD size, and higher viscosity, demonstrated the lowest as-printed impact strength (1400 J/m²), while exhibiting a dramatic increase in strength (17,500 J/m²) after annealing, closely approaching its bulk injection-molded counterpart. Such dramatic change is not observed in emulsion ABS (eABS) grades. It is concluded that the primary factors affecting interlayer bond formation in the as-printed state are viscosity and the inherent toughness of the ABS, whereas relaxation behavior and microstructural differences become key factors during annealing. Morphological and rheological analyses supported this hypothesis, helping to elucidate the complex interplay of various ABS properties in material extrusion additive manufacturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7172,"journal":{"name":"Additive manufacturing","volume":"96 ","pages":"Article 104553"},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142698650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a new model for predicting residual stress in the DED-built FGM thin-wall structures, accommodating any DED process configurations or material combinations. To validate this model, SS316/IN718 FGM thin-wall structures were produced by powder-fed laser DED processes, and residual stresses along the longitudinal direction were measured by X-ray diffraction techniques. Under the same deposition parameters, five material composition transition paths from SS316 to IN718 were employed to quantify the effect of material mixing properties on the residual stress distribution. One path was based on the designed weight percentages of SS316 and IN718 in each deposition layer, while the other four paths were determined by detecting the average weight ratios of four elements: iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), niobium (Nb) and titanium (Ti). The predicted residual stress profiles agreed with the measurements, with the maximum normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE) of 26.42 % observed in Nb-based predictions. The validated model was further extended to investigate residual stress distribution in two types of FGM thin-wall structures featured by tilted material transition regions: vertical- and horizontal-dominant walls. Results suggest that maximum tensile residual stresses are proportionally related to the material gradient angle (<em>θ</em><sub>1</sub>) in vertical-dominant walls, while increasing the material gradient angle (<em>θ</em><sub>2</sub>) in horizontal-dominant walls results in more compressive residual stresses at the FGM’s top surface. Based on a comprehensive understanding of the process mechanism using this practical model, it is now possible to propose novel deposition strategies that allow the material specification to be met while offering a reduced residual stress solution.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7172,"journal":{"name":"Additive manufacturing","volume":"96 ","pages":"Article 104581"},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Alloy chemistry and process parameter effects on oxide structure are assessed through a parameter study on the model alloy Ni-20Cr, doped with varying concentrations of Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Al. Small angle neutron scattering measurements of the dispersoid size distribution show the dispersoid size increases with higher laser power, slower scan speed, and increasing Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Al content. Complementary electron microscopy measurements reveal reactions between Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Al, even in nanoscale dispersoids, and the presence of micron-scale oxide slag inclusions in select specimens. A scaling analysis of mass and momentum transport within the melt pool, presented here, establishes that diffusional structural evolution mechanisms dominate for nanoscale dispersoids, while fluid forces and advection become significant for larger slag inclusions. These findings are developed into a theory of dispersoid structural evolution, integrating quantitative models of diffusional processes – dispersoid dissolution, nucleation, growth, coarsening – with a reduced order model of time-temperature trajectories of fluid parcels within the melt pool. Calculations of the dispersoid size in single-pass melting reveal a zone in the center of the melt track in which the oxide feedstock fully dissolves. Within this zone the final Y<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> size is independent of feedstock size and determined by nucleation and growth kinetics. If the dissolution zones of adjacent melt tracks overlap sufficiently with each other to dissolve large oxides, formed during printing or present in the powder feedstock, then the dispersoid structure throughout the build volume is homogeneous and matches that from a single pass within the dissolution zone. Gaps between adjacent dissolution zones result in oxide accumulation into larger slag inclusions. Predictions of final dispersoid size and slag formation using this dissolution zone model match the present experimental data and explain process-structure linkages speculated in the open literature.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":7172,"journal":{"name":"Additive manufacturing","volume":"96 ","pages":"Article 104554"},"PeriodicalIF":10.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Predicting the state of stresses in as-built 3D printed parts is a difficult problem that is typically approached with the use of transient thermomechanical Finite Element Models (FEMs).
