Effect of load ratio (R) on the interface microstructure and phase stability was investigated in mild steel/Grade-2 Ti explosive clads using experimental and JMatPro® computations. At low-impact-energy conditions (i.e., R = 1.07), the interface exhibited a symmetrical wavy morphology with molten metal entrapped in isolated regions within the vortices of the waves, while at high-impact loading conditions (R = 3) the interface had complex weld solidification structure consisting of planar interface, columnar and equiaxed dendrites. Based on the study, it was concluded that under high-impact loading conditions, the interface microstructure of the explosive clads will resemble fusion welded joints, but with relatively lower thickness of the interaction zones.

The research work focuses on a novel post-processing sequence to improve the surface integrity and residual stress characteristics of as-printed Inconel718 (IN718) samples. The as-printed IN718 samples are subjected to solution treatment at 1050 °C, two-step precipitation hardening (@ 720 °C for 8 h and @ 620 °C for 8 h), and low plasticity burnishing. Two different sequences were attempted. Sequence-1 involves solutionizing → low plasticity burnishing followed by precipitation hardening, and sequence-2 includes solutionizing → precipitation hardening followed by low plasticity burnishing. The experimental observations and detailed investigations revealed that the samples processed via sequence 2 exhibited a better surface finish. The microhardness of the samples of sequence 2 is 10% higher than their counterparts in sequence 1. The maximum residual stress of −1375.33 MPa is obtained in sequence 1 as compared to the residual stress of −1100.67 MPa in sequence 2. The influence of the processing sequences on the surface properties has been discussed in detail using the XRD and microstructural characterization supported with EBSD analysis.
