Laser-based Direct Energy Deposition (L-DED) is a very quick and freeform fabrication process. L-DED is useful to fabricate near net shape for engineering applications as well as medical applications. L-DED has been successful in making a variety of pure metals and its alloys for industrial needs. This review paper gives an overview of the research progress in various types of metallic materials like nickel alloys, Stainless Steel (SS), and Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) fabricated by L-DED. Simultaneously, the effects of process parametric related factors also discussed. Introduction about nickel alloys, Stainless Steel, and FGMs relevant findings, and their advantages and disadvantages for these alloys are communicated. The paper shows the metallurgical, mechanical properties, and post-processing effects on L-DED fabricated nickel alloys, SS, and FGMs. This paper will be helpful to the researchers and industrialists and for those who are interested to do research in this field.

Direct energy deposition has been established as one of the methods for additive manufacturing metallic parts. The combination of direct energy deposition capabilities with traditional machining centre capabilities has enabled over the past few years the creation of hybrid manufacturing cells that are able to additively manufacture and finish machine components under one platform. This article investigates the production of geometries using a hybrid, additive and subtractive approach. The parameters for depositing stainless steel 316L are initially investigated followed by an assessment of machinability of the additively manufactured material. Finally, the quality of the deposited and machined material was thoroughly examined with a series of destructive and non-destructive methods.

Abstract The present paper assesses the applicability of laser powder direct energy deposition for welding of thin stainless steel sheets. Considering the rapid development of laser cladding and relatively wide range of equipment available in modern industrial settings, this technology can also be applied to laser welding, where the procedure is performed with a filler material comprising blown powder. To this end, an exhaustive experimental campaign has been carried out with the aim of evaluating the influence of the main process parameters, including laser power and powder feed rate, on the resulting weld bead characteristics. Two joint configurations have also been considered to assess the best solution in terms of both chamfer shape and sheet positioning. Butt and lap joints were prepared, with 30° and 45° V-groove configurations tested and characterized in the former case. In order to assess the resulting weld quality, metallographic analyses were carried out to measure the main morphological parameters of the weld beads, including width, penetration depth and reinforcement, and to evaluate the possible presence of defects such as pores, cracks or lack of melting. Tensile tests were also carried out with the purpose of characterizing the overall mechanical performance of the joints. These tests demonstrated good overall process feasibility and highlighted the fact that lap joints and 30° V-groove butt joints were the best configurations in terms of both weld bead quality and fused zone morphology.

Small Change

This study investigated the effects of laser power on the microstructure and mechanical properties of functionally gradient materials (FGM) produced by direct energy deposition. The FGM consisted of five different layers, which were a mixture of austenitic stainless steel (Type 316L) and ferritic steel (HSLA). During the direct energy deposition, two different laser power conditions (450W and 380W) were used. The ratio of Type 316L and HSAL at each deposition layers were 100:0, 65:35, 50:50, 25:75, and 0:100. After the direct energy deposition process, no cracks or delamination were seen between layers of the FGM. The effects of laser power on chemical composition and microstructure were not significant. However, as the laser power decreased, tensile strength and elongation changed with a small change in grain size.
