Abstract [en]
Impact toughness of Alloy 718 built via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) in as-built and thermally post treated conditions were investigated. The effect of various stages in the thermal post-treatment, including stress relief, hot isostatic pressing, solution treatment, and aging on the microstructure, texture, ductility, hardness, and impact toughness were studied. The greatest impact toughness was found in the as-built Alloy 718 material, associated with the high ductility of the material. The ductility results were also inversely related to the hardness of the investigated materials. Where the material with the highest ductility had the lowest hardness etc. Anisotropy in the impact toughness behavior was present in the as-built and post-heat treated specimens, which was explained by the presence of texture in all of the investigated material. With the applied heat treatments, recrystallization occurred and the preferential crystal orientations were randomized, decreasing the texture. The thermal post-treating conditions rendered different types of microstructures, with various grain sizes. The carbide content remained the same for the three investigated thermal post-treating conditions.

Note
This project is a part of a larger project within the SUMAN-NEXT project (project number 20160281), which is finaced by the KK-foundation (Sweden), where several collaborators, such as Sandvik, GKN Aerospace Sweden AB, Quintus Technologies AB, Arcam-EBM, and Element are involved. The authors would therefore like to thank these project partners. The authors would also like to specifically thank Element (Karlskoga, Sweden) for performing the Charpy impact testing, Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB for specimen manufacturing, GKN Aerospace Sweden AB for performing the heat treatments, and Quintus for performing the HIP treatments. For his assistance, the authors would like to thank Dr. Esmaeil Sadeghi.
