Abstract:
Additive manufacturing is generally associated with powder-based beam melting or sintering methods. However, recent innovations in solid-state additive methods such as additive friction stir deposition (AFS-D) provide unique capabilities to additively manufacture or repair alloys with wrought like properties. The AFS-D process is a novel method that exploits high-shear and severe plastic deformation to produce fully-dense, near net-shape structures. In the AFS-D process, feedstock material is deposited through a hollow rotating tool that generates frictional heat which results in solid-state metallurgical bonding. While the feasibility of the AFS-Deposition process has been demonstrated on various materials, the fatigue performance of this new manufacturing process for difficult to weld alloys is unknown. As such, in this talk, we present an investigation of the fatigue mechanisms of 6xxx and 7xxx aluminum alloys fabricated from the AFS-D process. In particular, fatigue crack nucleation and crack propagation mechanisms associated with the longitudinal and build directions of the AFS-D process are discussed. In addition, the effect of heat treatment on fatigue behavior is also presented. Lastly, we discuss the potential of the AFS-D process in repair applications and barriers to further implementation.
