In recent years, selective laser melting (SLM) has been widely used in aerospace, automobile, biomedicine and other fields. However, there still remain many challenges to obtain consistent parts at the different positions on the base plate, which could be harmful to the industrial mass-production. In SLM process, the process by-products that flow with the shielding gas may influence the microstructure and tensile properties of the parts placed on different positions of the base plate. In this study, the velocity field of the shielding gas with different shielding gas volume flows was simulated. The tensile properties of the samples fabricated with different shielding gas volume flow were experimentally studied. The results show that the shielding gas volume flow has a strong influence on the sample consistency, and proper increase in shielding gas volume flows can be beneficial to consistency and tensile strength.

This study investigates the very-high-cycle fatigue (VHCF) behavior at elevated temperature (650 °C) of the Inconel 718 alloy fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM). The results are compared with those of the wrought alloy. Large columnar grain with a cellular structure in the grain interior and Laves/δ phases precipitated along the grain boundaries were exhibited in the SLM alloy, while fine equiaxed grains were present in the wrought alloy. The elevated temperature had a minor effect on the fatigue resistance in the regime below 108 cycles for the SLM alloy but significantly reduced the fatigue strength in the VHCF regime above 108 cycles. Both the SLM and wrought specimens exhibited similar fatigue resistance in the fatigue life regime of fewer than 107–108 cycles at elevated temperature, and the surface initiation mechanism was dominant in both alloys. In a VHCF regime above 107–108 cycles at elevated temperature, the wrought material exhibited slightly better fatigue resistance than the SLM alloy. All fatigue cracks are initiated from the internal defects or the microstructure discontinuities. The precipitation of Laves and δ phases is examined after fatigue tests at high temperatures, and the effect of microstructure on the formation and the propagation of the microstructural small cracks is also discussed.
