Abstract
In the present work, the microstructures and mechanical properties of additively manufactured IN718 alloy were studied and the dendritic columnar microstructures elongated along the building direction are related to macroscopic mechanical properties. Detailed experiments under both proportional and non-proportional multi-axial loading conditions indicate that the influence of the building orientation from manufacturing on mechanical property and fatigue performance is negligible. Fractography analysis reveals that fatigue crack initiates from carbide and oxygen phases. The shear energy-based models reasonably predict the fatigue life and shear failure is the dominant failure mode for the laser melting material.
