Effect of defects and specimen size with rectangular cross-section on the tensile properties of additively manufactured components

To evaluate specimen size dependence on the tensile properties of additively manufactured (AM) components, various rectangular specimens, ranging from miniaturised to ASTM standard specimens, are machined from electron beam melted Ti-6Al-4V and used for the tensile testing. It is found that the elon...

description To evaluate specimen size dependence on the tensile properties of additively manufactured (AM) components, various rectangular specimens, ranging from miniaturised to ASTM standard specimens, are machined from electron beam melted Ti-6Al-4V and used for the tensile testing. It is found that the elongation is strongly related to the sample size while the yield and ultimate tensile strengths exhibit an independent feature. Three major aspects, (i) presented location of lack of fusion, (ii) size and segregation of pores, and (iii) slimness ratio, have a synergic influence on the elongation of different specimen sizes with various cross-section area. Our findings suggest that microscale tests arise uncertainties in measurement, which must be considered in order to provide quantifiable levels of confidence when applying such tests to discriminate a material’s behaviour. The experimental results and analyses provide a guideline for the design and testing of non-standard specimens for AM components.
