Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM) is driven by design freedom, having fewer process constraints than traditional manufacturing processes. It requires careful process control and qualified parameters to create dense metal parts. However, defects in the form of cavities can be detected in as-built specimens by computed tomography. Post-processing techniques such as hot isostatic pressing (HIP) are applied to eliminate porosity, but regrowth of argon gas pores is observed after additional heat treatment. In this work, a mesoscopic heat treatment simulation of an argon-filled gas pore in titanium components is presented. A combination of HIP and high-temperature heat treatment for β -annealing is simulated. Calculated pore regrowth is qualitatively consistent with experimental observation from the literature. Simulation results support the hypothesis of argon not dissolving in the titanium matrix by assuming a constant amount of argon particles in the pore. Mesoscopic heat treatment simulations may be a part of a simulation-driven optimization of thermal post-processing to improve the quality and performance of AM components.

Abstract The widespread use of hydrogen as an energy carrier is considered one of the most important keys to achieving the decarbonization necessary for the energy transition in numerous areas of technology and society. Not least due to the associated contact of metallic components with (pressurized) hydrogen, there is a latent risk of hydrogen-induced cracking (“hydrogen embrittlement”). The cause of damage is the hydrogen absorbed by the material, which is mobile via interstitial lattice diffusion. In high-strength steels with a tensile strength of more than 800 MPa, even very low diffusive hydrogen contents of less than 1 ppm (parts per million) can have a crack-inducing effect. Hence, dedicated, highly accurate analytical and testing methods are required for the detection of hydrogen and its effect on the mechanical properties of metals. This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding hydrogen embrittlement and reviews the analytical, mechanical, and fractographic investigation methods for detecting hydrogen in metals.

Abstract To improve the process development for high pressure gas quenching a digital quenching simulation model combining the fields of computational fluid dynamics and heat treatment process simulation has been developed. It was found that the gas flow and hence the quenching properties depend on both local (geometry of parts, carrier and chamber) as well as global influencing factors (fan characteristics, system pressure and hydraulic resistances). Therefore, a computational fluid dynamics model that includes all these factors was realized. The approach includes a heat transfer analysis to determine the local heat exchange coefficients on a component level. By connecting the computational fluid dynamics model and heat treatment simulation the local quenching characteristics are used to compute the temperature history of the quenched part. Based on a thermo-metallurgical heat treatment simulation the computed local cooling curves and metallurgical phase compositions are used to accurately predict the part properties like microstructure and hardness. The applicability of the model has been confirmed by hardness measurements. Hardness results for different batch positions, batch setups or tray systems can now be computed enabling an efficient virtual development of the gas quenching process.

Abstract Laser-based powder bed fusion of metals exhibit process-induced anisotropy and residual stresses, making post-manufacturing heat treatment occasionally beneficial. For AlSi10Mg, a T6 heat treatment (solution annealing, quenching, artificial aging) is recommended. Nevertheless, mechanical strength decreases as (1) the eutectic Si network dissolves, (2) the amount of dissolved Si in the Al grains decreases, and (3) the size of the silicon particles and aluminum crystals increases during solution annealing. This changes the mechanical characteristics directly or by influencing the formation of precipitation during the aging process. The success of solution annealing is affected by the annealing duration and the part’s temperature at the moment of quenching. Short annealing durations dissolve a sufficient amount of Si and Mg in the Al matrix. Therefore, both the annealing temperature’s holding duration and the heating process significantly impact the resulting microstructure. In this study, samples of different shape and size where subjected to a T6 heat treatment with different solution annealing temperatures and durations. The influence on mechanical properties after quenching and aging was investigated by hardness and tensile tests. Maximum strength is achieved by quenching promptly upon reaching the solution annealing temperature, while longer durations reduce strength as explained by the Larson-Miller parameter.

Abstract As an additive manufacturing process, powder bed fusion of metals using a laser beam (PBF-LB/M) enables the near-net-shape production of complex components in a single step. In combination with case hardening, it will thus be possible in the future to produce lightweight, functionally integrated transmission components characterized by high-strength surface layers with a sufficiently tough component core. However, the process-related new initial conditions resulting from very high solidification rates in PBF-LB/M may mean that case hardening of PBF-LB/M materials with standard parameters achieves different case hardening results than have been usual in the past. This hypothesis was investigated in the present work using the case hardening steel 20MnCr5 (material number 1.7147) after successful development of industry-relevant PBF-LB/M parameters. Besides the convincing results regarding microstructure, hardness and carbon depth profiles, case hardening with standard parameters led to irregular grain growth due to holding at high temperatures for several hours during carburization.
