摘要

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) was used to deposit Inconel 625 (IN625) onto 316L stainless steel (SS316L) substrates fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion. Tensile properties of the resulting multi-material specimens were compared to those of the individual alloys. Two bonding approaches were evaluated: a direct transition and a 50/50 intermediate layer formed by blending equal parts of each alloy during deposition. The multi-material specimens demonstrated higher yield strength than the single alloys. However, samples with the 50/50 transition exhibited brittle failure at the joint, whereas the direct transition behaved more ductile. Scanning Electron Microscopy revealed microcracks at the interface of the 50/50 transition, and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy detected aluminum oxide particles in the DED-IN625 samples. These results underscore the importance of transition design in multi-material components and provide guidance for optimizing mechanical performance in demanding applications such as in extreme conditions, particularly where structural integrity and high-performance bonding are critical.
