    Analysis of hydrogen-induced changes in the cyclic deformation behavior of AISI 300-series austenitic stainless steels using cyclic indentation testing
    (2021) Brück, Sven; Blinn, Bastian; Diehl, Katharina; Wissing, Yannick; Müller, Julian; Schwarz, Martina; Christ, Hans-Jürgen; Beck, Tilmann; Staedler, Thorsten; Jiang, Xin; Butz, Benjamin; Weihe, Stefan
    The locally occurring mechanisms of hydrogen embrittlement significantly influence the fatigue behavior of a material, which was shown in previous research on two different AISI 300-series austenitic stainless steels with different austenite stabilities. In this preliminary work, an enhanced fatigue crack growth as well as changes in crack initiation sites and morphology caused by hydrogen were observed. To further analyze the results obtained in this previous research, in the present work the local cyclic deformation behavior of the material volume was analyzed by using cyclic indentation testing. Moreover, these results were correlated to the local dislocation structures obtained with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in the vicinity of fatigue cracks. The cyclic indentation tests show a decreased cyclic hardening potential as well as an increased dislocation mobility for the conditions precharged with hydrogen, which correlates to the TEM analysis, revealing courser dislocation cells in the vicinity of the fatigue crack tip. Consequently, the presented results indicate that the hydrogen enhanced localized plasticity (HELP) mechanism leads to accelerated crack growth and change in crack morphology for the materials investigated. In summary, the cyclic indentation tests show a high potential for an analysis of the effects of hydrogen on the local cyclic deformation behavior.

    Micro-twinning in IN738LC manufactured with laser powder bed fusion
    (2023) Megahed, Sandra; Krämer, Karl Michael; Kontermann, Christian; Heinze, Christoph; Udoh, Annett; Weihe, Stefan; Oechsner, Matthias
    Components manufactured with Metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) are built in a layerwise fashion. The PBF-LB/M build orientation affects grain morphology and orientation. Depending on the build orientation, microstructures from equiaxed to textured grains can develop. In the case of a textured microstructure, a clear anisotropy of the mechanical properties affecting short- and long-term mechanical properties can be observed, which must be considered in the component design. Within the scope of this study, the IN738LC tensile and creep properties of PBF-LB/M samples manufactured in 0° (perpendicular to build direction), 45° and 90° (parallel to build direction) build orientations were investigated. While the hot tensile results (at 850 °C) are as expected, where the tensile properties of the 45° build orientation lay between those of 0° and 90°, the creep results (performed at 850 °C and 200 MPa) of the 45° build orientation show the least time to rupture. This study discusses the microstructural reasoning behind the peculiar creep behavior of 45° oriented IN738LC samples and correlates the results to heat-treated microstructures and the solidification conditions of the PBF-LB/M process itself.
