Abstract
The simulation of residual stress in Electron Beam Melting (EBM) process is critical for optimization of process conditions. However, there is no published literature on the simulation of residual stresses in this process. This paper considers finite element modeling of the temperature distribution through transient thermal analysis. The measured temperature and total heat flux from transient thermal analysis are then used as initial input parameters to the structural analysis. Consequently, deformations and residual stresses in structural analysis were measured. The titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V has been used, which is one of the most common materials for biomedical implants due to its high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and its biocompatibility features.
