Abstract
The fatigue-crack growth behavior of materials manufactured by means of selective laser sintering was studied. In the process, specimens were prepared from metal powders (316 steel) into the desired shape by additive manufacturing technology, followed by sintering and infiltration in a suitable molten metal. The latter process was aimed at eliminating the inherent porosity associated with powder metallurgy. Porosity is known to adversely affect the fatigue-crack growth rate behavior of powder metallurgy components. Carefully conducted fatigue-crack growth rate tests (single-edge-notch four-point bending type) were carried out on RapidSteelTM and the results were compared with data of infiltrated low carbon steel in the literature. Finite element analysis was carried out as an intermediate step in order to validate the geometry factor calculations provided by empirical formulae. It was found that the fracture resistance of RapidSteel was higher compared with low-carbon copper infiltrated steel tempered at 177 °C and 428 °C, and same as that tempered at 704 °C.
