Summary: The development of Multi-Laser Powder Bed Fusion (ML-PBF) technology is driven by the desire to industrialize and expand the envelope of L-PBF additive manufacturing. This study examines the differences in mechanical properties and microstructures for stitched and nominal zones in Nickel-base alloy 718 produced via L-PBF, and investigates the effects of various heat treatments. The addition of a 1120 degrees C HIP cycle eliminates heterogeneity between the two zones, offering a promising avenue for industrial adoption.

Summary: The research analyzes the formation process of side surfaces in electron beam PBF through 3-D mesoscale multi-physics simulation, providing insights into side roughness mechanisms from the perspective of heat and mass transfer. The study reveals that cases with lower heat input result in greater fluctuations in melted traces, leading to higher side roughness. The investigation also identifies melt pool flow driven by surface tension as the main cause of track shape fluctuation.

Summary: Additive manufacturing allows for the creation of complex geometries by simultaneously fabricating the material and the component. In this study, the bulk processing parameters were modified during the fabrication of axial fatigue specimens, resulting in changes to both the microstructure and surface roughness. The axial fatigue testing revealed that surface roughness plays a significant role in fatigue initiation and has a greater influence on total life compared to differences in microstructures. Understanding the relationships between processing, structure, properties, and performance is crucial in additive manufacturing, including the interactions between different parameter sets and their effects on fatigue failure mechanisms.
