Abstract:
The fatigue strength of parts manufactured via Laser Beam Melting (LBM) is reduced significantly by the process-induced surface area. To analyse this in more detail, specimens made of AlSi10Mg were manufactured with different process parameters, whereby two surface conditions, i.e., “as-built” and machined, were investigated. The results show a reduced fatigue strengths of the "as built" conditions, which is assumed to be caused by higher process-induced tensile residual stresses, while the notch effect due to the topography of the “as-built” surface conditions was less pronounced. Furthermore, precipitation hardening (T6) led to a significantly higher lifetime due to an increased defect tolerance. This underlines the importance of the defect tolerance for the fatigue strength of additively manufactured components.
