In recent decades, laser additive manufacturing has seen rapid development and has been applied to various fields, including the aerospace, automotive, and biomedical industries. However, the residual stresses that form during the manufacturing process can lead to defects in the printed parts, such as distortion and cracking. Therefore, accurately predicting residual stresses is crucial for preventing part failure and ensuring product quality. This critical review covers the fundamental aspects and formation mechanisms of residual stresses. It also extensively discusses the prediction of residual stresses utilizing experimental, computational, and machine learning methods. Finally, the review addresses the challenges and future directions …


Heat Treatments For Minimization Of Residual Stresses And Maximization Of Tensile Strengths Of Scalmalloy® Processed Via Directed Energy Deposition, Rachel Boillat-Newport, Sriram Praneeth Isanaka, Jonathan Kelley, Frank Liou Mar 2024

Scalmalloy® is an Al-Mg-Sc-Zr-Based Alloy Specifically Developed for Additive Manufacturing (AM). This Alloy is Designed for Use with a Direct Aging Treatment, as Recommended by the Manufacturer, Rather Than with a Multistep Treatment, as Often Seen in Conventional Manufacturing. Most Work with Scalmalloy® is Conducted using Powder Bed Rather Than Powder-Fed Processes. This Investigation Seeks to Fill This Knowledge Gap and Expand Beyond Single-Step Aging to Promote an overall Balanced AM-Fabricated Component. for This Study, Directed Energy Deposition (DED)-Fabricated Scalmalloy® Components Were Subjected to Low-Temperature Treatments to Minimize Residual Stresses Inherent in the Material Due to the Layer-By-Layer Build Process. …
