The possibility of producing complex metallic parts in various industries can be attributed to
the selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing method. As a powder bed fusion …

Abstract Fine eQuiaxed Zone (FQZ) close to the fusion line is a common and unique
microstructural feature for fusion welded high-strength Al alloys particularly when containing …

The influence of material variability upon the multiaxial LCF assessment of engineering
components is missing for a comprehensive description. In this paper, a probabilistic …

Abstract As built Ti-6Al-4V parts obtained by SLM and EBM, often stress-released and HIP-
treated, show a very rough surface which affects the fatigue properties. In many cases of …

Despite the disruptive benefits of Additive Manufacturing (AM), the application of this
technology for safety-critical structural parts in aerospace is still far from being achieved and …

The present work focuses on the modelling of the fatigue behaviour of a 316L produced by
laser powder bed fusion containing various defect populations: Lacks of fusion, corrosion …

Inconel 625 fatigue testing specimens with different levels of intentionally-seeded porosity in
their gauge section (≤ 0.1, 0.3, 0.9 and 2.7%) were manufactured by laser powder bed …

This study introduces a microstructure-sensitive fatigue life prediction framework based on
CP-FFT which includes the effect of surface roughness. The model is applied to flat …

This work aims to quantify the effect of natural shrinkages on the fatigue limit of A357-T6 cast
aluminum alloy. The main objective is to characterize the fatigue strength of the alloy …

Aluminium cast components containing intrinsic flaws were investigated in terms of fatigue
strength. Therefore, quasi-static, fracture mechanical and fatigue tests were conducted at …
