Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of additive manufacturing technology, specifically a method for predicting the dispersion of fatigue life based on printing defects in additive manufacturing materials. Background Technology
[0002] Additive manufacturing is a manufacturing technology that directly shapes materials by accumulating them layer by layer. It offers flexibility and design freedom, enabling the construction of complex and precise structures. However, although its static mechanical properties can rival those of traditional manufacturing technologies after post-processing, additively manufactured parts still fall short in terms of fatigue performance. This is mainly due to microscopic defects and complex structures in the material, which can lead to the early initiation and propagation of fatigue cracks, thus affecting the service life and reliability of the parts.
[0003] Furthermore, residual stress and inhomogeneous grain structure that may arise during additive manufacturing exacerbate the fatigue susceptibility of materials. In addition, although additive manufacturing materials from different suppliers may share the same name, their fatigue performance varies significantly due to factors such as manufacturing processes and raw material batches, posing a challenge to fatigue performance assessment. Therefore, a deep understanding of the fatigue initiation and fracture mechanisms of additive manufacturing materials, and the correlation between material defects and microstructural characteristics and fatigue life, are crucial means to improve prediction accuracy.
[0004] Metallographic analysis revealed that microscopic defects during additive manufacturing, such as incomplete fusion between layers, inclusions, and porosity, are the main causes of fatigue cracks, and the location and size of these pores significantly influence crack propagation. After hot isostatic pressing and other treatments, the fatigue properties of additively manufactured titanium alloys were significantly improved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The small crack propagation theory provides a theoretical basis for predicting the fatigue life of materials containing printing defects. This theory divides small crack propagation into three stages. By defining the crack propagation threshold for different stages, it explores the influence of microstructure characteristics, load application, and crack size on fatigue crack propagation, thus providing strong support for optimizing the fatigue performance of additive manufacturing materials. This invention proposes a method for predicting the dispersion of fatigue life based on printing defects in additive manufacturing materials.

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below.
[0018] Example: like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, in order to effectively improve the fatigue life of additively manufactured titanium alloy materials, this invention proposes a method for predicting the dispersion of fatigue life of titanium alloy materials based on printing defects formed by different additive manufacturing processes, including the following steps: Step S1, as follows Figure 1 As shown, by observing the fracture surface of an ideal additively manufactured titanium alloy material and maximizing its fatigue performance through hot isostatic pressing, the following results are observed: Figure 2 As shown, the critical crack size d for small cracks in the microstructure of ideal additively manufactured titanium alloy materials was found. Typically, the value of d is given by the average grain size M of the additively manufactured material. For titanium alloys, d = M is taken, and by observing the fatigue fracture surface, the value of M for titanium alloys is 0.02 mm. Step S2: Observe the fracture surface of the ideal additively manufactured titanium alloy material. The fracture structure is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the possible forms and locations of material printing defects were discovered. Generally, the observed defects are located on the sample surface or at a distance M from the surface, i.e., the surface layer within the average grain size range. Therefore, the crack propagation law can be calculated as a surface crack. According to the propagation law of type I crack, its tensile and compressive load crack shape factor Y = 0.65. Step S3: Conduct fatigue tests on the smooth specimens of the given additive manufacturing process to obtain the fatigue SN curves of the smooth specimens under a given stress ratio for ideal additively manufactured titanium alloy materials, and obtain the ideal material fatigue limit under a given stress ratio R. ; Obtaining the ideal material fatigue limit Detailed process: Core objective: To determine the fatigue limit of ideal additively manufactured titanium alloy materials by obtaining fatigue SN curves under a given stress ratio R through fatigue tests on smooth specimens without obvious printing defects. , that is, the symmetrical cyclic fatigue limit of crack-free materials; The following preparations are required: Sample preparation: Using parameters that are completely consistent with the target additive manufacturing process, such as laser power, scanning speed, and layer thickness, smooth samples are printed to avoid introducing additional defects due to process differences.
[0019] The specimens must meet the fatigue test standards, referring to GB / T3075 and ISO1143. The geometry should be a smooth part without notches, such as a round bar or plate-shaped smooth specimen. The surface should be polished to remove oxide scale, burrs, etc. after printing, and ensure that there are no obvious stress concentration sources on the surface.
[0020] Number of specimens: at least 3 specimens per stress level to ensure the statistical validity of the test data; Test equipment and environment: The equipment selected is an electromagnetic resonant fatigue testing machine or a hydraulic servo fatigue testing machine, which must have constant amplitude cyclic load control function and the accuracy must meet the requirement of load fluctuation ≤ ±1%; Environment: Room temperature 23±5℃, dry environment, avoid the influence of humidity and temperature changes on the test results; Parameter settings: Stress ratio R: Set according to the actual application scenario, such as R=0.06, R=-1 for symmetric / asymmetric cycles, and keep R constant throughout the test; Loading frequency: Select a sine wave with a frequency of 10-50Hz to avoid the sample heating up due to excessively high frequency or the test efficiency being affected by excessively low frequency. The test procedure is as follows: (1) Sample installation and calibration The smooth specimen is clamped in the testing machine chuck, ensuring coaxiality of the clamping and avoiding additional bending moment; the actual load and displacement relationship of the stress area of the specimen is calibrated by an extensometer or displacement sensor to verify the loading accuracy.
[0021] (2) Multi-stress horizontal cyclic loading Select a series of decreasing alternating stress amplitudes Starting from a level higher than the estimated fatigue limit, the load was gradually reduced, and constant amplitude cyclic loads were applied to different specimens.
[0022] At each stress level, the load is continuously applied until the specimen fractures, and the number of cycles N at fracture is recorded. If the number of cycles reaches 10... 7 If the stress level does not fracture after the second test, the loading is stopped, and the stress level is determined to be "no fracture". (3) Data Recording Record the stress amplitude of each specimen. Number of cycles N, break or 10 7 The values at the time of the stop were recorded, and the fracture location and macroscopic characteristics of the fracture surface were also recorded, such as whether it was surface cracking. Data processing and The process is as follows: (1) Plot the SN curve With stress amplitude The vertical axis is a logarithmic or linear coordinate; the number of cycles N is the horizontal axis, a logarithmic coordinate; plot all experimental data points on the coordinate system.
[0023] The least squares method was used to fit the data points to obtain the fatigue SN curve, which was divided into the high-cycle fatigue region and the transition region. (2) Extracting the fatigue limit
[0024] For materials with a defined fatigue limit, such as steel and titanium alloys, the stress amplitude corresponding to the horizontal segment of the SN curve is taken as the fatigue limit. That is, the number of cycles reaches 10. 7 The maximum stress amplitude that prevents fracture at this time.
[0025] If the experimental data do not show a clear level, the 10 can be determined by linear extrapolation. 7 The stress amplitude corresponding to the next cycle, as ; Step S4: Print a standard compact tensile specimen for determining the type I crack propagation rate using the same additive manufacturing process. Through crack propagation rate measurement experiments, obtain the material constants C and m, and the long crack propagation threshold, which express the stable crack propagation rate characteristics under a given stress ratio R. Establish the Paris formula for stable crack propagation: (1); Obtain crack propagation parameters C, m, The detailed process is as follows: Core objective: To obtain the material constants C and m, as well as the long crack propagation threshold, from the Paris formula through crack propagation rate tests on standard compact tensile specimens. This provides basic parameters for subsequent crack propagation life calculations.
[0026] The following preparations are required: (1) Sample preparation Standard compact tensile specimens, CT specimens, are printed using an additive manufacturing process identical to that in step S3, conforming to ASTM E647 or GB / T6398 standards. The specimen size is determined based on the material thickness, such as CT25 or CT50. Pre-cracked specimen: An initial crack is machined at the notch of the specimen using wire cutting, and the crack length is... Standard requirements must be met, typically =2~5mm; the crack surface is perpendicular to the loading direction to ensure it is a type I crack, an open crack; Sample quantity: at least 3 samples, used to verify data repeatability; (2) Test equipment and measuring tools Equipment: The same fatigue testing machine as in step S3, equipped with a crack length measurement system, such as extensometer method, potentiometer method or optical microscope method; Measuring tools: Crack length measuring instruments with an accuracy of ≥0.001mm, used for real-time monitoring of crack propagation; (3) Parameter setting Stress ratio R: Keep consistent with step S3 to ensure parameter matching; loading frequency 10-30Hz, sinusoidal loading; Load level: Select 3 to 5 different stress intensity factor ranges. From higher than expected The range is significantly higher than this threshold; covering the stable crack propagation stage; The test procedure is as follows: (1) Sample installation and initial calibration Clamp the CT specimen on the testing machine and install a crack length measuring device, such as fixing an extensor on both sides of the specimen notch; calibrate the relationship between load and crack opening displacement. Measure the initial crack length Record the geometric parameters of the specimen, such as specimen width W, thickness B, and initial crack length. Used to calculate the stress intensity factor K; (2) Constant amplitude loading and crack propagation monitoring A constant amplitude cyclic load is applied to the specimen, and the change in crack length 'a' with the number of cycles N is monitored in real time. For each certain length extension, such as Δa... =0.1~0.2mm; record the number of cycles N until the crack extends to the point of specimen fracture or reaches the preset crack length, such as a=0.8W; At each load level, at least 10 sets of a and N data points are obtained to ensure that the crack propagation rate da / dN can be accurately fitted. 3) Threshold test ( (Measurement); Using "decreasing" "Law": from a higher Starting horizontally, once the crack propagation rate stabilizes, the load is gradually reduced to decrease... Until the crack propagation rate da / dN ≤ 10 -10 m / time, industry-standard threshold for judgment; At this time, the corresponding The value is the long crack propagation threshold. ; Data processing and parameter calculation are as follows: (1) Stress intensity factor calculate The stress intensity factor formula for each measurement is used to calculate the corresponding stress intensity factor for the CT specimen. : = ×f (a / W)×√(πa), where The stress amplitude corresponding to the load. = / B√W, The load range is given by f (a / W), which is the geometric correction factor for the CT specimen. It can be found or calculated using the ASTM E647 standard. (2) Calculation of crack propagation rate da / dN For each set of (a,N) data, the crack propagation rate is calculated using the adjacent two-point difference method: , where i is the data point number; (3) Fitting the Paris formula and extracting parameters Plot da / dN on a logarithmic scale; Use x-axis and logarithmic coordinates to plot da / dN- Double logarithmic curve; The Paris formula is: In this invention The double logarithmic curve is linearly fitted, the slope is m, the intercept is lnC, and the material constant C is then calculated. (4) Determine
[0027] Take da / dN = 10 -10 m times corresponding to Value as the threshold for long crack propagation If the point does not appear directly in the experimental data, it is determined by linear extrapolation. Step S5: Establish the effective stress intensity factor range of the equivalent crack corresponding to the printing defect in the PSC stage. The computational model; (2); Step S6: As shown in Equation (3), establish a calculation model for the small crack propagation life of printing defects in the PSC stage; (3); Step S7: Using the knowledge in the stress intensity factor handbook, establish the effective stress intensity factor range for crack propagation to the LC stage corresponding to the printing defect. Computational model: (4); Step S8: According to Equation (5), establish a calculation model for the number of cycles required to determine the critical final crack size when the crack corresponding to the printing defect expands to the final abrupt structural failure state. (5) Step S9: Based on the curve showing the propagation of small cracks, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the number of crack propagation cycles in the PSC stage is... and the number of crack propagation cycles in the LC stage Adding these together, we obtain the fatigue life predicted by this invention under given printing defect conditions: (6); Step S10: Analyze the printing defect characteristics of the fracture surface of the additive manufacturing sample, and the fracture surface microstructure is as follows. Figures 7-9 As shown, the maximum equivalent printing defect size of different specimens was obtained through analysis. (a) Specimen: =22μm, (b) Sample: =60μm; (c) Sample: =43μm, statistical results are as follows Figure 10 As shown. According to Figure 10 Analyze the characteristics of the printing defects obtained, set the initial crack, calculate the fatigue life under the corresponding fatigue load, and obtain the following results: Figure 11 The comparison chart shown is between the predicted life and the fatigue test life. This result indicates that the prediction method proposed in this invention has high prediction accuracy.
[0028] Step S11, according to Figure 10 The system feeds back different levels of printing defects, sets different initial crack sizes for small crack propagation, and simultaneously sets a series of monotonically varying cyclic loads. Following steps 5 through 9, the fatigue life dispersion bands under different defect sizes were calculated. The influence of printing defects on the fatigue life dispersion in additive manufacturing of titanium alloy materials was quantified using graphical methods. The results are as follows: Figure 12 As shown, this invention quantitatively analyzes the influence of different defect sizes on fatigue life. The results show that when the defect size is higher than a certain threshold, it will lead to a significant decrease in fatigue life, thereby causing a significant increase in the dispersion of fatigue life of the material. Therefore, reasonable defect size control is required in the additive manufacturing printing process. Step S12: Based on the MSC stage microstructure small crack propagation threshold calculation model shown in equation (7), maintain... No change, adjustment By determining the size of the critical defect size d under different cyclic loads, we can obtain the critical defect size d and d under different cyclic loads. Functional relationship: When the maximum equivalent defect size of the surface layer is less than the critical defect size d, it is considered that the defect has no direct impact on the fatigue life of the material, and the fatigue life of the specimen tends to be that of the ideal material. Based on this, the fatigue life can be determined according to the applied cyclic load level. The maximum permissible equivalent defect size for printing defects was determined, and the results are as follows: Figure 13 As shown, this invention provides the maximum permissible defect size under different stress levels and the reliable material fatigue life performance under different defect levels, thus better promoting the application of additive manufacturing materials in many high-performance industries.

The long crack propagation threshold is obtained by regression using equation (1); (8); n is a material constant representing the effect of stress ratio R on crack propagation rate, where n = 0.5; In equation (3), The initial crack size can be obtained from the effective size of the printed defect based on the metallographic analysis of the material; l is the critical crack length value for the transition between the PSC stage and the LC stage.
