Materials Engineering
Microcracking has caused premature failure and reduction in properties in additively manufactured (AM) Hastelloy X. The purpose of this research is to meet or exceed the mechanical properties of wrought Hastelloy X by modifying the composition and build direction of Hastelloy X manufactured using Direct Metal Deposition (DMD). Tensile testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and metallography were performed on the samples. ANOVA was used to analyze the dependence that the properties had on build direction and composition. The nominal composition wrought samples had a yield strength of 310.1 MPa and a 60.79% Elongation. Alloy P60-X18 in a horizontal build had …

”Nickel hard-surfacing alloys are replacing hard Chromium coatings due to their excellent wear and corrosion-resistant properties. In laser cladding of these alloys, however, these properties can vary across the height of the deposit due to an accumulation of excess heat generated in the deposit during the process. This may result in uneven wear of the clad parts which can be detrimental for practical purposes. The research objective is to develop an in-situ cooling system that works in line with the laser deposition system to extract the excess heat buildup and reduce the variation in the hardness of the Ni-based clad …
