Abstract
A microstructure-sensitive fatigue life prediction framework based on CP-FFT is proposed to study SLM fabricated Hastelloy-X. The microstructure enters in the model through the shape, size and orientation distributions of grains in the RVEs, which are generated from experimental EBSD data. The framework has been applied to specimens built in two different directions with different polycrystalline microstructures and is able to accurately predict their fatigue life, using just two experiments for calibration. The model reproduces the better fatigue performance found experimentally at high stresses for samples built in transverse direction, identifying the origin of this anisotropy in grain aspect ratios.
