摘要

Background

The interlayer temperature (ITe) applied during Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) has an impact on the productivity of the process and the mechanical properties of the metal obtained. Self-heating measurement techniques have proven to be an effective means of rapidly assessing the fatigue response of materials.

Objective

The paper investigates self-heating during fatigue of WAAM-fabricated 2209 duplex stainless steel as a function of the ITe considered during the fabrication.

Methods

Temperature measurements were performed by infrared thermography and thermocouples during accelerated fatigue tests. The latter consisted of cyclic loading with a continuously increasing stress amplitude. The thermal data were post-processed by Heat Source Reconstruction (HSR), relying on the heat diffusion equation, to quantify the mechanical dissipation per cycle (in kJ.m–3/cycle) as a function of the stress amplitude.

Results

Continuous mechanical dissipation vs. stress amplitude relationships were obtained for three ITe values: 150 °C (maximum temperature recommended by the wire supplier) as well as 350 °C and 550 °C, leading to productivity gains during printing of approximately 3 times and 7 times respectively.

Conclusions

1) For a given ITe, the horizontal specimens exhibit better expected fatigue performance compared to the vertical specimens; 2) As the ITe increases, expected fatigue performance deteriorates; 3) However, the stress amplitude corresponding to the onset of mechanical dissipation is nearly the same regardless of the ITe, suggesting that the fatigue benefit of a low ITe for low stress amplitudes is minor compared to the loss of productivity during material printing.
