welcome to the second part of
solidification of parts in metal
additive manufacturing series so in this
lecture
we will try to understand more on
equilibrium and non equilibrium phases
for solidification then theory and
mechanism for solidification last time
we saw very trivially the solidification
zone freezing zone and the melting zone
so we saw melting first freezing next
and solidification so at each phase what
happens so now we will go little bit in
understanding the theory and mechanism
for solidification
so in equilibrium phase and in non
equilibrium phase the last part of the
lecture we will try to see what are raw
metal additive manufacturing printed
parts look like
so when we talk about solidification of
metal and we talk about equilibrium
here after melting in conventional
casting or laser slash electron beam
additive manufacturing the liquid metal
solidifies through cooling so cooling is
one of the process through which the
solidification starts happening and
there is a heat transfer happening
thermodynamically
solid and liquid have the same energy at
their melting point so both are steady
so this is very important because when
you try to do modeling of additive
manufacturing part in a metal melting
pool or in a molten pool then this point
is very important thermodynamically
solid and liquid have the same energy at
the melting point now after the melting
is done and cooling starts there is a
thermodynamical instability
as the liquid metal cools it loses
latent heat
low liquid temperature reduces the
average inter atomic space
between movable and disordered atoms
very important low liquid temperature
reduces the average inter atomic spacing
so now slowly slowly slowly the atoms
are going closer
between the movable and disordered atoms
as atom cools
their interaction
forces
stops them from further moving apart and
the liquid turns solid so atoms goes
here and there randomly and then slowly
slowly slowly now it is put in a
constrained fashion like a small kid
left in a ground it goes havac here and
there with lot of energy
but then moment it sees a ringing of a
bell happening under school teacher
coming in front slowly he gets confined
and then he gets into his classroom so
almost like that so much of free energy
right so then as the atom cools their
interaction forces
stop them from moving apart and then
liquid turns solid
a large ingot of metal alloy is cast
into a single crystal
while a controlled solidification
protocol is done
so when you do that you can also have
this grain orientation happening in this
grain orientation happening you can try
to have single crystal all throughout
the in got which is used to be
made for titanium so titanium ingots are
made for turbine blade applications to
have better mechanical and service
condition response
in practice it is difficult to transform
a homogeneous liquid into a perfect
homogeneous solid this requires
knowledge at the armstrong micron miso
and macro level that is why today
additive manufacturing solidification
part is done using molecular dynamic
simulation tools these tools will try to
give more understanding at micro scale
meso scale and macro level macro and
meso you can do it through any of the
existing
softwares like console
other things can be used you can make
when it goes to micro we always try to
go towards molecular dynamic simulation
and armstrong's is exactly only
molecular dynamic simulation softwares
the amstrom level atomic movement and
conformation of the solid liquid
interface are important whether the
crystal is growing or not if it is not
growing then you can use that time
period for diffusing or doing something
else if it has started solidifying then
start properly using it so the heat is
extracted the grains are formed and the
solid is formed
it is something like your quenching
cycle you heat the liquid ah you heat
the solid to a particular temperature
try to deform it whatever you want and
instantly quench it in water so then
when you quench it in water you freeze
right in the same way you start playing
with this amstrom level atomic movement
you start playing it to get the output
here friends since metal is
in a powder form the surface area is
large volume is too low the laser
energies are very high the melts
controlled solidification can be done
very easily
whether the crystal is growing or not
also crystal growth and nucleus
formation should be studied
this depends on the thermodynamics free
energy available and the stability of
the nucleus it is important to study the
micro level redistribution of
solvent if solid crystal structure have
different chemical composition than the
liquid so once the different phases are
getting formed then there is a
solidification difference which is
happening so the material gets
redistributed and then it is trying to
get formed
this can lead to undesirable
segregation or extreme refinement of the
solid so now you see this undesirable
segregation or extreme refinement of the
solid leads to better mechanical
properties
which
must consider the situation where the
solid liquid interface becomes unstable
and form cellular or dendritic structure
or crystal imperfections
very important
if you understand this
then you try to play with the
laser
matter interaction
what is the laser matter interaction
laser power with respect to time
whether to stop for micro second
millisecond nano second or femtosecond
at that spot
and try to have multiple frequency hits
to generate liquid and then you move in
a feed rate such that this liquid is
converted into a solid during this
conversion it goes from liquid
solid liquid interface and then it goes
to solid so here when it goes into this
transition again
time and temperature comes into
existence
this time and temperature depending upon
the composition tries to push
people or the particles here and there
forms precipitates
this is what happens
if you want to have
equiaxed grains or if you want to have
dendritic grains then you again play
with the time so all these things are
getting made in a fraction of a second
in a given spot macro level
solidification knowledge is applied to
heat and fluid flow in liquid metal
during cooling
so whatever was a knowledge which we get
from solidification point of view in
casting the same thing can be brought in
here the only difference is going to be
the interaction time and the interaction
area
so non equilibrium let us see since
additive manufacturing involves rapid
melting of metal solidification theory
is important for predicting and
monitoring the process see while doing
the
additive manufacturing we studied about
closed loop system you can put sensors
and find out whether the fumes are
created where the temperature is going
high or where there is an explosion of
the powder we saw that what is the
reason for exploding the powder while
additive manufacturing is done through a
on a powder bed fashion so we saw that
in the past lectures so predicting and
monitoring the process so for predicting
and monitoring apart from all these
things you also use solidification
theory laser or electron beam based
additive manufacturing uses a moving
heat source this moving heat source is a
small diameter feed rate given when it
is moving how is the heat getting
conducted through the manufactured part
with us with a short interaction time
the laser powder bed fusion uses 4
meters per second laser with a spot
diameter of 100 microns size so that you
can try to do all this rapid melting and
solidification in a small spot and 100
micron what we talk about is the spot
size and our powder size varies from 15
micron to 100 micron
so in a very very crude fashion you can
see the spot diameter and the powder
diameter is the same but generally you
will not melt one powder because these
powders will be oriented in different
directions so you will try to melt three
four powders and these three four
powders when you melt it can go if you
go along a straight line it also can
melt in this direction in this direction
so this makes an area and this area is a
two d so there is also the laser
waste
which is there in the focal plane this
is laser waste right so if you this heat
is there so it you are trying to move
along a line so the heat gets
disseminated
across
laterally then it tries to have an area
of melt this area of melt is 2d so when
you try to put it in the powder bed
fusion method it will have a volume so
this is a 3d
instant so this is called as the melt
spool
ok so this means 100 micron process zone
is heated with its maximum temperature
can be reached in less than 25 micro
seconds
within a
second you can try to melt
and if the laser is moving fast it
starts solidifying so before that
whatever we were thinking about rattling
moving inter atomic distance freezing
everything happens in 25 below 25 micro
seconds so thermal conductivity is a
very important parameter which tries to
dictate the solidification suppose if
the thermal solid conductivity is very
low
all the heat gets accumulated at that
spot it does not allow the heat to go so
then the melt spool will be existing for
a longer time so longer time means then
it will try to have a different
non equilibrium conditions to do it for
example in titanium what happens when
you start measuring titanium entire
accumulation of the heat happens at the
mission zone itself it does not
disseminate very fast this try to
distort the tool so in the same way when
we try to do copper powder the thunder
conduct the thermal conductivity is
extremely large heat applied it gets
disseminated so you have a larger melt
pool area so when you have a larger melt
pool area the the grain the grain
boundary the grain dynamics completely
changes
depending upon the thermal conductivity
property of the powder
the equilibrium and non equilibrium
states gets achieved very fast
due to thermal conductivity
solidification and cooling can take
twice as long as heating
so this is a very very important
property when many of us do modeling
with for an additive manufacturing
process we try to take the thermal
conductivity of a solid
and then we try to fit into the program
but you should understand here you are
trying to work with powder
and this powder is not continuous it is
discrete
see when you try to take
metal block it is continuous
and here the thermal conductivity is
different now here when we try to take
powder it is completely different
and the response for a slab
or a powder is different
the conductivity is different and here
there is a discontinuity coming so here
it is continuous so the modeling you
will always try to have a error in the
final prediction right so due to the
substrate material the surrounding heat
conduction convection regimes causes
high solidification and cooling rate
what are we talking about convection is
something called as marangoni convection
what is marangoni convection you have a
melt zone in the melt zone this is heat
or hot zone and this is cold zone
so now there is a difference in
temperature this difference in
temperature tries to bring in
some small circulation of heat so this
heat circulation creates a vortex so
this vortex is called as marangoni
convection
because of heat and cold zones you try
to do this
so that is what is the convection which
is there regime causes high
solidification and cooling rates
the point heat source produce a highly
localized heat flux in the melt pool
zone and a massive temperature gradient
in the deposition area
so now it is very interesting you are
trying to move along a line
so this is a straight line so now if you
try to have hatch patterns
right if you have hatch patterns like
this then it is a different story if you
have something like
out to in
or into out
hatch patterns then completely different
different phenomenas are happening when
the point heat source and point heat
source you try to move to a moving heat
source it is different so the point heat
source produces highly localized heat
flux
point melting a powder or a set of
powders in the milk pool zone and a
massive temperature gradient true
because there are four powders which are
melt rest of the powders were about to
be melt and the rest of the powders is
perfectly powder at room temperature or
at the bed temperature what we said in
the deposition layer the substrate
bottom has a higher temperature gradient
than the deposition top so here at the
bottom portion so of the layer when it
is recently formed this will be of a
higher temperature as compared to that
of a new layer which is brought in
in the powder bed fusion method
for
the laser to move on top of it so that
is what the substrate bottom has a
higher temperature gradient from here it
goes down than the depositor top so when
we are trying to work on alloy
partition during solidification the
alloy participation coefficient drops
rejecting
solute atoms at the solid liquid
boundaries the solute concentration
rises until the solution is stable
the solidification temperature at the
solid liquid boundary is affected by
liquid composition
process speed
boundary angle relative to the heat
source center line
very important you see here
solidification temperature at the solid
liquid boundary
is affected by liquid composition
because alloys are mixed
processing speed and boundary angle
in am metallurgy is controlled by the
chemistry of raw material and the
thermal history of the material during
manufacturing
this is very important this makes the
life of
simulation
experts difficult to bring in reality
what happens during additive
manufacturing still a long way to go in
the research front also as far as powder
bed fusion itself laser powder bed
fusion and laser directed energy
deposition may have
different heat transfer mechanism
so laser heating at the powder bed
powder bed fusion
and laser
trying to have powder fed in either
coaxially or laterally this is laser
this is nozzle
so
laterally or actually the heat transfer
mechanisms are different you cant take
the same laser and electron beam is also
different by the way its not the same
heat transfer mechanisms ok but laser
and electron beam have the same
metallurgical principles for full
melting selective laser sintering is
different from selective laser melting
cooling to ambient temperature after
solidification controls the deposited
layers early phase distribution and
grain morphology so here when it cools
from the freezing to the room
temperature so here it tries to the
deposited layers early phase
distribution and grain morphology is
very important
the heat source speed
power and size govern melt pool geometry
which controls solidification kinematics
important point heat source speed
power
size
governs the melt pool geometry whether
the milk pool also we assume it like a
cylinder but in reality it will have a
shape something like this
so melt pool geometry is very important
so this is dictated by the heat source
speed power size governs the melt pools
geometry which controls solidification
kinematics
i am not getting into details of
solidification kinematics because that
will be covered in few of the casting
courses offered by moocs or nptel the
thermal cycling and cooling control
precipitation kinematics face growth and
grain boundaries are different the
thermal cycling and cooling controls
thermal cycling is a single spot what
happens when you try to have a laser
powder second laser powder when it tries
to melt it not only melts this top
powder it also melts the second layer or
which is already melt layer it tries to
hit it and this portion almost tries to
get to a semi solid state and there is a
solidification happening so the thermal
cycling and cooling controls
precipitation kinematics face growth and
grain growth when we try to compare the
solidification of additive manufacturing
with casting solidification in some
cases additive manufacturing
solidification differs from casting for
additive manufacturing melt pool size
ranges from hundreds of micrometer to
millimeter regardless of the final
components size and shape and is
therefore different from casting with
large melt pool area
very different so here it is hundreds of
micrometer to a millimeter
small melt pool have less macro
segregation than larger castings this is
what i said you can dictate the product
whatever you want and the quality and
the mechanical properties of it in laser
powder bed fusion the powder bed around
the melt area has
lower thermal conductivity than bulk
alloy material
due to voids between the particles laser
and electron beam additive manufacturing
processes
can use a similar hypothesis
am solidifies quickly
metallic am products undergo a complex
thermal cycle including directional heat
conduction repeated heating and cooling
and rapid solidification
so in order to make our life simple we
are trying to have this laser and
electron beam because in electron beam
it happens inside a vacuum you can still
dictate the three of these processes but
whereas in laser you have an ambience
which is created but that is not as
controllable as that of electron beam
but in order to have a simplicity in
life we try to take laser and electron
beam have the same hypothesis these are
the major
complex thermal cycle phenomenas which
include directional heat conduction
repeated heating and cooling and rapid
solidification there are mainly two
reasons for rapid solidification
enormous under cooling of the metal
and
fast moving temperature flux these two
tries to give a rapid solidification
what is enormous under cooling enormous
under cooling
is basically trying to go down rapidly
cooling and then you come up we will see
that in detail in the forthcoming slides
rapid solidification is often
accompanied by robust liquid flow such
as marangoni convection which can reach
1 to 4 meters per second very high these
factors does not support the assumption
that
microstructural development and
properties are the same as conventional
technique
we try to understand casting very well
we have over a period of time modeled
casting process to a large extent very
well now from that understanding we are
trying to move to additive manufacturing
where in which we see all these
challenges enormous under cooling of the
metal and fast moving temperature flux
rapid solidification reduces elemental
partitioning which extends solid
solubility and causes metastable faces
new new new faces which was not earlier
possible in casting could be achieved by
fast moving
temperature
flux due to heat conduction grain growth
may be directional
rapid and directional solidification and
thermal induced phase transformation
affects the microstructure of deposited
parts rapid and directional
solidification and thermal induced phase
transformation affect the microstructure
of the deposited part rapid
solidification in the melt spool
improves mechanical properties by
allowing more structural latitude than
in conventional manufacturing so rapid
solidification is nothing but your
something like your quenching its not
equivalent but something like under
cooling before nucleation and
solidification growth causes unique
structures so rapid solidification
happens directional solidification
happens you get this by doing thermal
cycle
so here the other important thing is the
cooling rate
we are only talking about heating
heating but also the cooling rate it
follows a fatigue cycle so heat cool
heat cool heat cool so the cooling rate
is vital to achieve the desired under
cooling that eventually minimizes the
increased temperature due to
recollections
the cooling rate is vital to achieve the
desired undercooling that eventually
minimizes the increased temperature due
to recollections
rapid solidification characteristics
include microstructural refinement
increased solubility limits reduced
micro segregation and non equilibrium
meta stable phase formation
look at it you have something like a
kitchen everything mixed rapid
solidification characteristics include
micro structural refinement
increased solubility limits
reduced micro segregation
and non nuclear meta stable phase
formation this meta stable phase
sometimes can lead you to immiscible
alloys also
right so this metastable phase can also
lead you to something like inter
metallic faces forming
compared to standard casting methods
fast cooling reduces the formation of
grains
lamellae and secondary face particles
dentitic segregation can be reduced to
achieve compositional homogeneity in
additive manufactured parts
additive manufacturing solidification
affects grain size shape distribution
growth kinematics elemental segregation
precipitation phase transformation and
material properties
all are dictated
the key factor in the process are multi
scale multi physics phenomena what is
that
fluid flow heat and mass transfer
beam interaction with material causes
additive manufacturing localized heating
and cooling
very important
it is multi scale multi physics
phenomena
because solid
gets converted into a liquid
liquid will try to flow in the flow you
have viscosity you have surface tension
and when these two are there there is a
temperature gradient coming then you
have
the heat and mass transfer happening
then the beam keeps moving very fast
beam interaction time so all these
things make additive manufacturing
process your robust and a good process
to make
sound products
selectively in a flexible manner
if you want to have
on surface
wear resistance property you just play
with laser interaction time with
material
the laser can be used for cutting
melting
heat treatment
it can also be used for polishing
the laser interaction material with time
and power you can do any of these things
you can also do sintering
all
same with electron beam also you play
with the energy densities you can get
that so when we try to talk about laser
so this is the laser coming this is a
directed energy deposition method where
there is a powder stream coming this is
hitting the surface you have a substrate
then you see the substrate as and when
it is getting developed it is getting
cooled so you have dendrites getting
formed so this is the direction in which
you are moving and this in order to
protect the melt pool getting oxidized
or explosive reactions happening so we
try to put a shield around it so which
is almost like a neutral gas which
prevents it from getting interaction
with the surface so you see here the
powder particles again here powder
particles you will have alloys when it
melts you will have different different
responses pure solidification time and
alloy solidification time are different
in alloys again segregation of the grain
boundaries happen so you dictate the
temperature whatever is getting formed
so you not only melt the powder you also
try to melt one more layer down and
these two fellows get stitched because
of the melt solidification process
happening here so little bit on
thermodynamics so thermodynamics can
analyze solidification kinematics
it evaluates alloy phase composition
solidification method fundamental alloy
properties and solidus liquidus line
slope
so all these things are part of
thermodynamics and solidification
kinematics pressure temperature
composition
affect materials free energy so here we
use these two we do not use pressure
when gibbs free energy is low
equilibrium is reached
under the assumption of thermodynamic
equilibrium the equilibrium phase
diagram can be used to estimate the
solid liquid alloy composition by using
the equilibrium phase diagram this
equilibrium phase diagram is drawn for
solid
casting solid material or bulk material
powder
interacting with laser short time
these equilibrium phase diagrams
get tweaked little bit for additive
manufacturing parts and especially with
respect to metal additive manufacturing
parts the materials structure a function
of composition and temperature can be
identified from an equilibrium phase
diagram using a slow transformation rate
or fast diffusion rate
this is the typical cooling curve which
we always discuss in casting process so
you can see here a b
is the cooling from liquid to freezing b
and e
so b
e is the
liquid solid happening here so you will
have freezing going on and e to f will
be solidification complete
so you see here this is liquid this is
solid so in between b and e there are so
many phenomenas which happen and this so
many phenomenas will try to dictate the
output
so you see here a b it is a melt pool
you take an example a b is liquid then
bc what will happen there is an under
cooling which is necessary
for
initiating nucleation process
then from c to d there is recalcins
happen
then d e is isothermal solidification
all these things happen in casting as
well as an additive manufacturing in the
melt pool the time will be small so
because of that rapid timing going on so
you will have multiple new new faces
coming into action
so the cooling curve shows the phase
transition temperature over time for a
pure metal or alloy as they cool when
you try to do it for a pure metal it is
like this when you try to do for an
alloy it is something like this so you
will have this
freezing will go like this so this is
the freezing zone this is the
solidification zone in the liquid and
solidification zone there will be not
much change except for the slope change
but in the freezing zone there will be
lot of change so it will not be
isothermal solidification the pure
liquid metal cools to its melting point
before solidifying to understand the
solidification of a pure metal super
cooling curve is used where the liquid
metal cools from a to b
then from b to c must be under cooled
since nucleation begins at the point c
so till that time there will be a
rapidly struggle of the fittest so
nucleation will start it will try to
expand the external temperature will
kill so this will go back and forth so
since nucleation begins at point c the
liquid temperature rises due to latin
heat of fusion so it rises
so this is recall sense from the point c
to d
from here solidification temperature at
d m until the point e the freezing zone
the cooling rate indicates that the
solid starts to cool and based on the
atomic configuration solid and liquid
metal having different thermal
conductivity you have different
different atomic configurations can
happen
different direction regions having
different cooling curve slopes are seen
before solidification begins the
temperature falls below the equilibrium
cooling called as supercooling to
develop a thermodynamic
driving force so when we try to talk
about this is what we have been talking
in plenty super cooling is also called
under cooling so do not get confused
supercooling is different undercooling
both are the same
this is what is undercooling where the
liquid temperature is lowered below the
melting point without solidifying
pure metal cooling curve has zero slope
constant temperature during
solidification
this is an ideal case but whereas when
you do alloys this is what will happen
for all engineering materials let it be
bulk or let it be powder you will have
an alloy so if you see it you will have
melting then you will have a face change
will happen start temperature phase
change finish temperature and here is
what a big paradigm shift happens from
casting to additive manufacturing
process and this henceforth here will be
almost the same the alloy
cools differently than the pure metal as
shown here so here there is lot of in
equilibrium thermodynamic stability
there is thermodynamic kinematics is
there to dictate what you want so when
we look at the cooling curve and phase
diagram you can see here this is liquid
there is a solid and in between the
liquid and the solid you have liquid as
temperature line you would have a solid
as temperature line and in between you
have a mushy zone
this mushy zone you try to dictate in
additive manufacturing so if you try to
take the cooling curve and the phase
diagram the cooling curve from a two
phase region the solid precipitates are
delayed in liquid through a mushy zone
so this is what is the liquid
this is what is the solid so start of
liquid to get into a solid so it is
called as liquidus temperature the solid
is called a solidus temperature so you
can see here this is t l temperature of
the liquid s line temperature of the
solid s line temperature of liquid solid
line also you can see here okay the
metal alloy shows a mussy zone between
solidus and liquidus temperature where
solid and liquid phase occurs during
solidification so here you can try to
have various compositions and this
various compositions with the heating
cycle you can try to dictate your grain
so if you see a cooling curve and a
phase diagram alloy cooling curve at
different compositions you can see this
is what is the temperature
melting zone this is called the freezing
zone and then it is solidification zone
fine
so here if you see that in an alloy you
will try to have this is solid as this
is a liquidus line this is a solidus
line and now here is a mushy zone
so now if you try to draw plots you will
try to see various compositions you can
try to take for an alloy this top one
talks about here it is hundred percent
of a and zero percent of b and when it
comes to here it is 20 and 80 you can
try to have this is called as upper
critical temperature lower critical
temperature
right t a and t b t b is a point when
alloy b melting temperature is reached
and t a is a point where alloying a
melting temperature is reached so now
with this composition you with this
solidus line when you draw you can try
to find out what are all the faces and
what are all the segregations can happen
this curve tries to talk about cooling
curve to construct binary phase diagram
but in reality you will have ternary
phase diagram which makes the life
little more complex cooling curve and
phase diagram this region of cooling is
non equilibrium
or non linear so the region of cooling
is non-linear due to the evolution of
latin heat caused by the solidification
process
the temperature
from which the slope first deviates
corresponds to the formation of the
first solid and it is called as liquidus
temperature the alloy solidifies below
the solidus temperature this is a
typical
cooling curve and a phase diagram for
steel so this is iron ion carbide
diagram which you would have gone
through in your initial days in your
school or in your engineering materials
so this is how we try to get for a iron
carbide diagram at various temperatures
various compositions what are the
different phases you get
with this we can try to understand
when iron and carbon are getting mixed
what will be the response
like this you will try to see for
various alloys the cooling curve and
phase diagram a phase diagram shows how
faces form and transform during heating
and cooling with different alloy
composition
different c content affects alloy phase
transformation temperature optimizing
additive manufacturing process parameter
and microstructure can help
during laser based additive
manufacturing stainless steel production
the laser input temperature must be
optimized to control austenitic and
ferritic formation
so these are the cooling curve which
were again taking it for steel because
it is very much available but when you
do additive manufacturing this is still
a question lot of people are trying to
understand will it follow the same
or will there be a deviation if there is
a deviation how is that so the cooling
curve and the phase diagram says that
this y axis is the temperature x as is
with respect to time so you will have
fast cooling you say you get martensite
when you do slow or when you do moderate
cooling you try to get bainite and when
you do slow cooling you get ferrite and
pearlites in the microstructure so when
we were looking into the microstructure
we were looking like a fingerprints
impression i was saying these are it can
be martensite or this can be austenite
in between whatever it is
so this will try to talk about the
cooling curve
and formation of different faces with
respect to temperature for steel like
this you have different different
cooling curves and phase diagrams for
different materials the continuous
cooling transformation diagram cct
diagram tries to talk about the phase
that forms in alloys at different
cooling rate so the same if you want to
do it for
additive manufacturing we might get the
same response or we might not get the
same response see if you look at it
going back see the cooling rate in 10
seconds you are trying to move from 800
830 degrees you are trying to come to
200 degrees within 10 seconds
but whereas in laser additive
manufacturing you get it within a second
peak transformation
so here you might get completely
martensite or in martensite also you
might get some change in the
microstructure to do that
each deposition layer undergoes repeated
thermal cycle and have different cooling
rates in additive manufacturing at fast
cooling rates a complete martensitic
structure forms while bainite and
ferrite and pearlite forms at slower
cooling rates as compared to that of the
faster one in additive manufacturing the
c c t diagram can be used to estimate
phase formation when the thermal profile
of each deposition layer is known which
is a challenge this is a challenge we do
not know today because between one layer
and the next layer what will be the
temperature dissemination happening we
are not able to measure even if you use
an infrared
pyrometer or
thermocouple the layer size is too small
for a thermocouple to measure when you
use thermal imaging it averages out so
all these things makes the life misa
very difficult to draw a cct diagram for
additive manufactured part so this is
the cycle
which it undergoes in temperature time
profile this is called as a thermal
cycle so you can see in the first layer
when it is moving it will try to be in
liquid as form when the second layer is
moving on this on say first layer is on
the top let us do it like this so this
is the first layer this is the second
layer in the third layer you see the
temperature will be like this in the
fourth layer you see it will be like
this in the fifth layer it will be like
this and in the sixth so first second
third fourth fifth and sixth layer
so you see there is lot of thermal cycle
happening you aimed at only the first
layer but second layer also gets the
temperature diffused and the third layer
also it is getting fourth layer so now
each so if you try to see this is a
slope which we try to get
so it is pretty interesting and to get
and validate the experiments to get with
respect to timing cycle it is a real
challenge so heating and cooling can
cause suppressed phase changes or super
saturated faces during additive
manufacture solidification in additive
manufacturing when every layer undergoes
a repeated heating and cooling cycle the
temperature may exceed the phase
transformation temperature this causes
multiple phase transformation
then intricate microstructure and
residual stresses
for example typically thermal profiling
of a single layer ti 6 alv 4 alloy
manufactured in am for a single layer
the time temperature profile fluctuates
and reaches phase change temperature
causes phase changes to happen knowledge
on phase transformation during fast
solidification and repeated thermal
cycles is essential to control the
microstructure in additive manufacturing
additive manufacturing process
optimization involves equilibrium non
equilibrium phase diagram thermodynamics
thermo physical quantities laser
electron beam material interaction
diffusion kinematics so this laser
electron beam material interaction it is
completely different when you are
talking about laser we talk about the
surface reflection and thermal
conductivity when we talk about electron
beam we talk about the electronic
structure which is there during rapid
solidification
some phases that form under equilibrium
condition may not form causing
metastable phases the figure on the next
slide
compares ti6 alb for cct diagram for
standard casting and additive
manufacture which is published in one of
the renowned journals in additive
manufacturing the alloy cooling faster
forms a meta stable martensitic
structure so this is what it is so you
can see the characteristics of meta
stable phase depend on alloy chemical
structure and cooling method during
thermal behavior so this is nucleation
of phase one then it is nucleation of
phase two this is t two this is t1
this is for titanium so the time
temperature diagram presenting the
nucleation onset of two dissimilar
theoretical phase with unlike cooling
behavior so from the time temperature
diagram at cooling rate t one the
primary phases is nucleated as phase one
whenever at faster cooling rate t two
another phase phase t two is nucleated
by detouring phase one so you do not
even get into phase one you got into t2
so its repeated thermal cycles so you do
not even get phase one which is called
as trailer grain boundary engineering
figure on the next slide shows the phase
diagram
with phase delta at equilibrium
due to rapid cooling a dashed
meta stable phase diagram may be created
so you see here this is a comparative
presentation of theoretical equilibrium
and metastable non equilibrium phase
diagram which is drawn it makes life
very complex so you see here these are
all dotted lines which are solid lines
are theoretical ones solid lines and
metas table you see here you completely
new one you see meta stable
this one
right so it completely changes
so some of the raw
printed parts which is made through
additive manufacturing you can see you
can make a bowl multiple parts can be
made in one shot high aspect ratio can
be made in one direction zero direction
high aspect ratio parts have been made
in x y plane in x y plane high aspect
ratios are also made additive
manufactured components after cooling
just
after being taken out from the built
chamber without any processing looks
like this you can see there is lot of
undulations on the surface which can be
because of staircase effects or
it can be due to shrinkage or improper
solidification in order to avoid such
things we try to decide the orientation
of the part before printing and friends
keep in mind that it is not a single
part getting printed you can print
multiple parts in one shot also so in
this lecture what did we go through we
tried to compare manufacturing of
metallic material with rest of the
conventional additive manufacturing
we understood and we wrote as notes on
solidification which we saw these two in
the previous lecture in this lecture
what we saw was we saw the difference
between equilibrium and non equilibrium
phase for solidification try to draw for
titanium and copper this equilibrium and
non equilibrium phase diagrams for
solidification try to do it for by
yourself as an assignment so that you
get more insight then explain the
mechanism of solidification in
equilibrium and non equilibrium phases
we saw for the same can you do it for
titanium and copper then understanding
and draw different cooling curves for
pure metal and alloy we saw and finally
we saw some of the raw printed parts so
that you get an understanding different
from that of your casting
the assignment which is given here try
to look at varying
thermal
cycling
graphs
for
am
process
both
laser
and
e beam
separately
to
multiple
part
printing
process
through am
what
is their
micro structural variation
along the cross section
for example you had a you had a this is
the bed
bed so you had a component something
like this
you have a component something like this
and you had this component right look at
some literature for it and then you try
to take a cross section and see how what
is the difference in the microstructure
if somebody has published you can see
this you can take it for again copper or
titanium because copper is highly
conducting titanium it is conducting but
all the heat gets accumulated in one
place so because of that i am trying to
always give you try to look at these two
steel is available in the open
literature so let us look into these two
things varying thermal cycle whatever we
said is this this is the varying thermal
cycle so you try to see what are the
different phases you get again for
copper
