In this thesis, the mechanical behavior of the additively manufactured (AM) IN718 nickel-based superalloy and their correlations with the evolution of microstructure are studied comprehensively. The effects of manufacturing parameters, build orientations, and post processing procedures, i.e. standard heat treatment and hot isostatic pressing (HIP), on various mechanical properties including monotonic compression and tension strength, low cyclic fatigue performance, high cyclic fatigue behaviour, and fatigue crack growth behavior are investigated. Due to the high temperature applications of the IN718 alloy, elevated temperature properties are examined as well. Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) technique is employed to measure the initial and deformed …
