Book Chapter Description

Additive Manufacturing (AM) brings about an array of modifications in microstructure with respect to conventional routes transforming mechanical performances. These new microstructure features depend on process parameters and especially on volume energy-density delivered by the laser on powder layer. Among the different alloys manufactured by AM, Ni-alloys exhibit high-strength at elevated temperature opening the way of fabrication of gas turbines and jet-engine parts. Ni-superalloys experience precipitation hardening due to the formation of γ′ and γ′′ phases leading to complex microstructures. To better study the influence of the AM microstructure on Ni-alloys mechanical properties, in particular at elevated temperatures, a theoretically monophasic and binary Ni20Cr-alloy manufactured by laser powder-bed fusion was studied in this work. Remarkable Yield Strength (400 MPa) and Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) (600 MPa) were observed at 500°C with hardly any loss of properties from room temperature, owing to the thermal stability of cellular dendrites till 700°C. Ductility drop was reported at 700°C due to anomalous brittle behaviour of Ni-alloys. Hardening behaviour vanished at 900°C signifying the deletion of dendrites, disappearance of dislocations, diffusion of Cr from dendritic walls and growth of oxides.
