Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The design freedom, customization potential, and significant reduction in product development cycle brings additive manufacturing (AM) to the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution. It has developed in the last few years to a level where it results now in mechanically-sound structures. The potential of light-weighting, functional enhancement by design and/or selective material compaction, functional grading as well as development of new alloys specific for additive manufacturing are topics of current interest. The application of the technology to functional components subjected to fatigue loading still needs careful design with respect to the available material data. This Special Issue is focused on scientific contributions to serve as a compendium of research currently available on fatigue of AM parts. Papers are open for all material classes and AM processes. Studies covering the following or associated topics are welcome:

  • Influence of AM-specific microstructure on fatigue behavior
  • Role of remnant porosity in fatigue strength
  • Fracture behavior as compared to conventional alloys
  • Influence of orientation on fatigue and fracture
  • Role of texture in fatigue determination
  • Fatigue of multi-material structures
  • Fatigue of hybrid-processed structures
  • Functional grading for fatigue
  • Fatigue modeling of AM parts
  • Prediction of fatigue life in AM parts
  • Low, high and very high cycle fatigue (LCF/HCF/VHCF) behavior

It is well-known that many manufacturing parameters affect the quasi-static and the fatigue response of additive manufacturing (AM) parts. In particular, due to the layer-by-layer production, the load orientation, with respect to the building direction, plays a fundamental role for the fatigue response. This paper investigates the fatigue response up to 109 cycles (very high cycle fatigue (VHCF)) of selective laser melting (SLM) AlSi10Mg specimens built in a vertical direction. Ultrasonic tension-compression tests (stress ratio of –1) are carried out on as-built Gaussian specimens with a large loaded volume (2300 mm3). Fracture surfaces are investigated with the scanning electron microscope to analyze the defects originating the VHCF failure. Probabilistic S-N curves are estimated and analyzed. Experimental results confirm that the defect size controls the VHCF response, thus highlighting the importance of testing large risk volumes for a reliable assessment of VHCF behavior. The average value of the VHCF strength is close to that of the hourglass specimen tested in the literature. The variability of the VHCF strength is instead significantly larger, due to the scattered size distribution of the defects located near the specimen surface, which is the most critical region for crack initiation.

Material composition complexity offered by material extrusion additive manufacturing offers new opportunities for function-driven part design. Nevertheless, since influencing factors on the interface strength between different materials are not well understood, this complexity is only used infrequently, in part, in design thereby restraining innovation. This paper proposes a systematical approach for identification and quantification of relevant adhesion phenomena that influence interface strength. For this reason, suited test specimen, which utilize the geometric freedom offered by additive manufacturing, are developed for roll peeling tests and peeling resistance of several combinations of rigid and flexible materials is determined. The results show that material choice especially regarding polarity as well as mechanical interlocking in regards to surface roughness and design features have high influence on the interface strength of multi-material parts manufactured by material extrusion. These results are explained through the relevant adhesion mechanisms that determine the interface strength in additively manufactured parts. Finally, criteria that predominantly affect interface strength are deduced and design recommendations for creating functional parts with ill-fitting material combinations are formulated. Full article

Selective laser melting process has already been developed for many metallic materials, including steel, aluminum, and titanium. The quasistatic properties of these materials have been found to be comparable or even better than their conventionally-manufactured counterparts; however, for their reliable applications in operational components, their fatigue behavior plays a critical role, which is dominated by several process-related features, like surface roughness, remnant porosity, microstructure, and residual stresses, which are controlled by the processing features, like imparted energy density to the material, its corresponding solidification behavior, the cooling rate in the process, as well as post-processing treatments. This study investigates the influence of these parameters on the cyclic deformation behavior of selective laser melted as well as hybrid-manufactured aluminum alloys. The corresponding microstructural features and porosity conditions are evaluated for developing correlations between the process conditions to microstructure, the deformation behavior, and the corresponding fatigue lives. From the numerical point of view, damage development with respect to process-induced cyclic deformation behavior is assessed by the phase-field method, which has been identified as an appropriate method for the determination of fatigue life at the respective applied stress levels. Fatigue strength of SLM-processed parts is found better than their cast counterparts, while hybridization has further increased fatigue strength. No effect of test frequency on the fatigue life could be established. Full article
