Abstract:

Selective laser melting (SLM) can produce Ni-based superalloys with a unique hierarchical structure consisting of micrometer-scale crystallographic lamellar microstructure and nanometer-scale cellular structure under optimized process parameters. This work investigated the effects of input energy density on the morphology of the cells and its influence on the tensile properties of Ni-based superalloy prepared by SLM. We found that the cell spacing decreases with decreasing input energy density. Further investigation of the cells clarified that the boundary of cells is a low angle grain boundary with dislocation cell wall and segregation of certain elements such as Nb and Ti. Moreover, it was demonstrated that the boundary of cells performs as a significant barrier to the griding dislocation. Thus, the cell boundary leads to strong strengthening through the Hall-Petch law.
