Original Size

In this study, laser metal deposition (LMD) additive manufacturing was used to deposit the pure Inconel 625 alloy and the TiC/Inconel 625 composites with different starting sizes of TiC particles, respectively. The influence of the additive TiC particle and its original size on the constitutional phases, microstructural features, and mechanical properties of the LMD-processed parts was studied. The incorporation of TiC particles significantly changed the prominent texture of Ni–Cr matrix phase from (200) to (100). The bottom and side parts of each deposited track showed mostly the columnar dendrites, while the cellular dendrites were prevailing in the microstructure of the central zone of the deposited track. As the nano-TiC particles were added, more columnar dendrites were observed in the solidified molten pool. The incorporation of nano-TiC particles induced the formation of the significantly refined columnar dendrites with the secondary dendrite arms developed considerably well. With the micro-TiC particles added, the columnar dendrites were relatively coarsened and highly degenerated, with the secondary dendrite growth being entirely suppressed. The cellular dendrites were obviously refined by the additive TiC particles. When the nano-TiC particles were added to reinforce the Inconel 625, the significantly improved microhardness, tensile property, and wear property were obtained without sacrificing the ductility of the composites.

Relatively high heat input and heat accumulation are treated as critical challenges to affect the qualities and performances of components fabricated by wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). In this study, various heat inputs, namely 276, 552 and 828 J/mm, were performed to fabricate three thin-wall Inconel 625 structures by cold metal transfer (CMT)-based WAAM, respectively, and active interpass cooling was conducted to limit heat accumulation. The macrostructure, microstructure and mechanical properties of the produced components by CMT were investigated. It was found that the increased heat input can deteriorate surface roughness, and the size of dendrite arm spacing increases with increasing heat input, thus leading to the deterioration of mechanical properties. Lower heat input and application of active interpass cooling can be an effective method to refine microstructure and reduce anisotropy. This study enhances the understanding of interpass temperature control and the effectiveness of heat inputs for Inconel 625 alloy by WAAM. It also provides a valuable in situ process for microstructure and mechanical properties’ refinement of WAAM-fabricated alloys and the control of heat accumulation for the fabrication of large-sized structures for future practical applications.

AbstractMankind is setting to colonize space, for which the manufacturing of habitats, tools, spare parts and other infrastructure is required. Commercial manufacturing processes are already well engineered under standard conditions on Earth, which means under Earth’s gravity and atmosphere. Based on the literature review, additive manufacturing under lunar and other space gravitational conditions have only been researched to a very limited extent. Especially, additive manufacturing offers many advantages, as it can produce complex structures while saving resources. The materials used do not have to be taken along on the mission, they can even be mined and processed on-site. The Einstein-Elevator offers a unique test environment for experiments under different gravitational conditions. Laser experiments on selectively melting regolith simulant are successfully conducted under lunar gravity and microgravity. The created samples are characterized in terms of their geometry, mass and porosity. These experiments are the first additive manufacturing tests under lunar gravity worldwide.
