This study presents a method to control material properties by controlling the local thermal history in metal Additive Manufacturing (AM). By using topology optimization, desired properties can be achieved in high strength low alloy steels.
In metal Additive Manufacturing (AM), the deposited material is subjected to a series of heating and cooling cycles. The locally occurring temperature extremes and cooling rates determine solid-state phase fractions, material microstructure, texture, and ultimately the local material properties. As the shape of a part determines the local thermal history during AM, this offers an opportunity to influence these material properties through design. In this paper, we present a way to obtain desired properties by controlling the local thermal history. This is achieved through topology optimization of the printed part while considering its entire transient thermal history. As an example of this approach, this work focuses on high strength low alloy steels, where resulting phase fractions significantly influence mechanical properties such as yield strength and ductility. These solidstate phase fractions depend on cooling rates in a particular critical temperature range. The phase composition and hence the local yield strength in target regions can be controlled by constraining the cooling time in this range. Numerical examples illustrate the capability of the proposed approach in adapting part designs to achieve various desired material properties.
