description <p>The industrialization of Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) is challenged by the undesirable microstructures and high residual stresses originating from the fast and complex solidification process. Non-destructive assessment of the mechanical performance controlling deformation patterning is therefore critical. Here, we use Dark Field X-ray Microscopy (DFXM) to map the 3D subsurface intragranular orientation and strain variations throughout a surface-breaking grain within a directed energy deposition nickel superalloy. DFXM results reveal a highly heterogenous 3D microstructure in terms of the local orientation and lattice strain. The grain comprises &asymp; 5 &micro;m-sized cells with alternating strain states, as high as 5 &times;10&minus;3 , and orientation differences &lt;0.5&deg;. The DFXM results are compared to Electron Backscatter Diffraction measurements of the same grain from its cut-off surface. We discuss the microstructure developments during LAM, rationalising the development of the deformation patterning from the extreme thermal gradients during processing and the susceptibility for solute segregation.</p>
