In this study, the deformation behavior of an austenitic stainless steel is investigated at the microscale by means of in-situ neutron diffraction (ND) measurements in conjunction with finite-element (FE) simulations. Results are presented in terms of (elastic) lattice strains for selected grain (crystallite) families. The FE model is based on a crystallographic (slip system based) representation of the deformation at the microscale. The present study indicates that combined in-situ ND measurement and micromechanical modelling provides an enhanced understanding of the mechanical response at the microscale in engineering steels.

Phase Stresses

Microstresses due to intergranular and inter-phase interactions in an austenitic-ferritic super duplex steel (SAF 2507) under uniaxial compressive deformation have been studied by in-situ neutron diffraction experiments. Lattice strains of several hkl planes of austenite respective ferrite were mapped as a function of sample direction at a number of load levels during loading into the plastic regime and unloading. The analysis of the experimental results has shown that during loading both grain-orientation-dependent and inter-phase stresses were generated under plastic deformation that was inhomogeneous at the microstructural level. Residual stresses depending on the grain-orientation and phase have been found after unloading. The results also indicate stronger intergranular interactions among the studied hkl planes of austenite than those of ferrite.

AbstractIn–situ neutron diffraction has been used to measure lattice strains parallel to two principal stress directions in biaxially-loaded AL6XN stainless steel. A new fixture was developed for loading thin-walled tubular specimens through combinations of internal pressure and axial loading. Under these conditions, the principal directions (σzz and σθθ in a cylindrical r, θ, z coordinate system) remain constant with respect to the initial crystallographic texture regardless of the level of biaxiality, a distinct advantage for diffraction experiments over the traditional tension/torsion tests for which this condition does not hold. Specimens were first pressurized to the level required to obtain a chosen value of σθθ. The axial load was then increased to reach the yield surface at different σθθ/σzz ratios, ranging from uniaxial to balanced biaxial loading (0, 0.4, 0.7, 1 according to Tresca). The {200}, {220}, {222}, and {311} reflections were measured in the axial and hoop directions as a function of axial load. A sequence of axial loading/unloading episodes was applied for different levels of plastic deformation. Under uniaxial tension, the {200} reflection showed the highest axial strains, followed by the {311}, and {220}/{222} reflections. With increasing internal pressure (biaxiality), the axial lattice strains corresponding to a given axial stress tended to decrease, and the responses of the various reflections tended to merge.

This study aims to investigate the influence of trabecular bone in human mandible bone on the mechanical response under implant load. Three dimensional voxel finite element (FE) model of mandible bone was reconstructed from micro-computed tomography (CT) images that were captured from bone specimen. Two FE models were developed where the first consists of cortical bone, trabecular bone and implants, and trabecular bone part was excluded in the second model. A static analysis was conducted on both models using commercial software Voxelcon. The results suggest that trabecular bone contributed to the strength of human mandible bone and to the effectiveness of load distribution under implant load.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

An investigation to determine the effect of porosity concentration and location on elastic modulus is performed. Due to advancements in testing methods, the manufacturing and testing of microbeams to obtain mechanical response is possible through the use of focused ion beam technology. Meanwhile, rigorous analysis is required to enable accurate extraction of the elastic modulus from test data. First, a one-dimensional investigation with beam theory, Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko, was performed to estimate the modulus based on load-deflection curve. Second, a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model in Abaqus was developed to identify the effect of porosity concentration. Furthermore, the current work provided an accurate procedure to enable accurate extraction of the elastic modulus from load-deflection data. The use of macromodels such as beam theory and three-dimensional FE model enabled enhanced understanding of the effect of porosity on modulus.

The Impact

Abstract Additively manufactured (AM) metallic materials commonly possess substantial microscale internal stresses that manifest as intergranular and intragranular residual stresses. However, the impact of these residual stresses on the mechanical behaviour of AM materials remains unexplored. Here we combine in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction experiments and computational modelling to quantify the lattice strains in different families of grains with specific orientations and associated intergranular residual stresses in an AM 316L stainless steel under uniaxial tension. We measure pronounced tension–compression asymmetries in yield strength and work hardening for as-printed stainless steel, and show they are associated with back stresses originating from heterogeneous dislocation distributions and resultant intragranular residual stresses. We further report that heat treatment relieves microscale residual stresses, thereby reducing the tension–compression asymmetries and altering work-hardening behaviour. This work establishes the mechanistic connections between the microscale residual stresses and mechanical behaviour of AM stainless steel.
