Abstract
Additive manufacturing of metal components results in unique microstructures with, necessarily, mechanical properties that are distinct from conventionally produced components. In this work, four distinct microstructural features associated with directed energy deposition of 304L stainless steels, their stability, and their influences on flow strength were examined. These were (1) high dislocation density comparable with deformed materials, (2) increased ferrite content, (3) local chemical heterogeneity, and (4) tortuous grain morphology. In situ neutron diffraction measurements were used to monitor the evolution of the as-built microstructure during post-build heat treatment and relate the specific microstructural features to the strength behavior of the material following the heat treatment. The increased flow strength of the additively manufactured material relative to wrought counterparts is found to be due primarily to an increased dislocation density in the as-built material. However, the increased dislocation density does not completely account for the increased strength and it is hypothesized that some of the additional strength is related to the unique AM grain structure.
