Interfacial characterization and mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel/inconel 718 manufactured by selective laser melting

The multi-material selective laser melting (SLM) technology has been widely studied in recent years. In this paper, 316L stainless steel (316SS) and Inconel 718 (IN718) multi-material parts were manufactured by SLM and their interfacial characteristics and mechanical properties were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, electronic universal testing machine and microhardness tester. The interface metallograph and higher comprehensive mechanical performance with elasticity modulus (103 ± 3 MPa), elongation (28.1 ± 2%) and ultimate tensile strength (596 ± 10 MPa) proved good metallurgical bonding at the interfaces (∼100 μm) between 316SS and IN718. Nevertheless, some cracks and holes, which were found at or near the interfaces, suggested special SLM processing parameters (such as laser power, laser scanning speed, layer thickness, hatch spacing, remelting, fabrication sequence and layers of interface) should be applied at the interfaces.

Abstract

The multi-material selective laser melting (SLM) technology has been widely studied in recent years. In this paper, 316L stainless steel (316SS) and Inconel 718 (IN718) multi-material parts were manufactured by SLM and their interfacial characteristics and mechanical properties were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, electronic universal testing machine and microhardness tester. The interface metallograph and higher comprehensive mechanical performance with elasticity modulus (103 ± 3 MPa), elongation (28.1 ± 2%) and ultimate tensile strength (596 ± 10 MPa) proved good metallurgical bonding at the interfaces (∼100 μm) between 316SS and IN718. Nevertheless, some cracks and holes, which were found at or near the interfaces, suggested special SLM processing parameters (such as laser power, laser scanning speed, layer thickness, hatch spacing, remelting, fabrication sequence and layers of interface) should be applied at the interfaces.
