    Magnitude and distribution of residual stresses in additively manufactured Ni-based superalloys may impact the mechanical performance of as-fabricated parts. Though electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF) can produce components with minimal defects and residual stresses compared to laser powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition, variations of them may occur within the complex geometry of a component, due to inherent variations of thermal signatures and the evolution of section modulus along the build direction. This work reveals the residual stress distribution, characterised from neutron diffraction, of an as-fabricated Haynes 282 monolith containing internal cube voids and thin wall struts of varying thicknesses. Complementary local hardness measurements and multi-scale microscopy were used to investigate the geometry-structure-property relationships. Observed variations in hardness were attributed to a combination of type I macro-scale residual stresses and variations in bimodal γ′ precipitation behaviour. The results highlight the influence of residual stresses and microstructure on the mechanical properties of E-PBF Haynes 282. © 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

    Laser additive manufacturing of bulk metallic glass (BMG) provides an effective bypassing of the critical casting thickness constraints that limit the size of components that can be produced; however, open questions remain regarding the resulting mechanical properties. In this work, a Zr-based BMG known as AMZ4 with composition Zr59.3Cu28.8Nb1.5Al10.4 was printed using a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique. Micro X-ray computed tomography results together with electron microscopy imaging revealed porous processing defects in LPBF produced AMZ4 that led to a loss in tensile strength. Fatigue crack growth studies revealed a fatigue threshold, ΔKth., of ∼1.33 MPa√m and a Paris law exponent of m = 1.14, which are relatively low values for metallic materials. A KIC fracture toughness of 24−29 MPa√m was found for the LPBF BMG samples, which is much lower than the KQ of 97−138 MPa√m and KJIC of 158−253 MPa√m measured for the cast alloy with the same composition. The lower fracture toughness of the laser processed AMZ4 was attributed to ∼7.5× higher dissolved oxygen in the structure when compared to the cast AMZ4. Despite the higher level of oxygen, the formation of oxide nanocrystals was not observed by transmission electron microscopy. Oxygen induced toughness loss was confirmed by dissolving elevated concentrations of oxygen into cast AMZ4 rods, which led to a reduction in bending ductility and changes in the short-range order of the glass structure, as revealed by synchrotron X-ray diffraction. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
