A 3D thermomechanical finite element model including the effect of the powder-to-solid transition has been developed to investigate the transient temperature, transient stresses, residual stresses and warpage of the component made of multiple materials produced using a laser-assisted layer-by-layer fabrication approach. The model encompasses the effects of the temperature- and porosity-dependent thermal conduction and radiation as well as the temperature-dependent natural convection. It is found that changing from the initial solid elements to powder elements results in higher temperature gradients, larger transient and residual stresses, and increased war-page. Mechanisms responsible for these phenomena are discussed based on heat transfer capabilities and constraints resulting from different initial materials. (C) 2003 Acta Materialia Inc.
