Mini-samples technique was utilized to determine mechanical properties of technically pure titanium produced by means of selective laser melting (SLM). Full-field digital image correlation (DIC) measurements and inverse method were applied for crack tip position and stress intensity factors calculations in the case of fatigue crack growth rate tests. DIC was also used for strain measurement during tensile tests on sub sized samples. There was studied the influence of samples orientation on the mechanical properties of mini-samples. Samples were cut out from rectangular cubes and were oriented with 0°, 45° or 90° angle to the direction of laser beam travel. There were also tested samples directly produced via SLM. Additionally microstructure observations were performed to verify the quality of SLM processed materials and explain mechanical properties variations.

Plasticity Induced Crack Closure

Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing technology, ideal for the production of complex-shaped components. Design against fatigue is fundamental in the presence of cyclic loads, particularly for these materials which typically have significant porosity, high surface roughness and residual stresses. The main objective here is to study fatigue crack growth (FCG) in the 18Ni300 steel obtained by SLM. Typical da/dN-ΔK curves were obtained in C(T) specimens, indicating that cyclic plastic deformation may be the controlling mechanism. A complementary analysis, based on plastic CTOD range, showed a relatively low level of crack tip plastic deformation, and consequently a reduced level of plasticity induced crack closure. The curve da/dN versus plastic CTOD range is clearly above the curves for other materials.
