Thermal And Impact Resistance of Metal Additively Manufactured Materials: A Review

Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a promising technology by enabling the production of complex geometries with minimal material waste, offering a strong alternative to traditional manufacturing methods. One of the most prominent application areas of this technology is metal additive manufacturing. Metal AM is widely used in the production of high-performance parts in sectors such as aerospace, defense, automotive, and energy. However, microstructural irregularities and residual stresses inherent to the layer-by-layer nature of the process raise concerns about the structural reliability of the produced components. Therefore, evaluating the performance of metal AM parts under environmental and mechanical loadings such as high temperatures and sudden impacts is of great importance. In this study, the thermal shock resistance and impact toughness of materials produced by metal additive manufacturing methods are examined based on the existing literature. The findings indicate that process parameters, microstructural features, and post-processing treatments play a significant role in determining the mechanical performance of these materials.

Metal Eklemeli İmalat Yöntemi İle Üretilen Malzemelerin Termal Ve Darbe Dayanımı Üzerine Derleme

Abstract

Eklemeli imalat (Eİ), düşük malzeme israfı ve karmaşık geometrilerde üretim imkânı sayesinde geleneksel yöntemlere alternatif olarak öne çıkan bir teknolojidir. Bu teknolojinin en önemli uygulama alanlarından biri ise metal eklemeli imalattır. Metal eklemeli imalat, havacılık, savunma, otomotiv ve enerji gibi sektörlerde yüksek performanslı parça üretiminde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Ancak katmanlı yapıya özgü mikroyapısal düzensizlikler ve artık gerilmeler, bu yöntemin yapısal güvenilirliğini sorgulatmaktadır. Bu nedenle, metal eklemeli imalatla üretilmiş parçaların ani sıcaklık değişimleri ve darbe davranışları gibi çevresel ve mekanik yüklemelere karşı gösterdiği performansın değerlendirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, metal eklemeli imalatla üretilen malzemelerin termal şok dayanımı ve darbe dayanımı literatür temelinde incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, üretim parametrelerinin, mikroyapı özelliklerinin ve ısıl işlem gibi sonradan uygulanan işlemlerin malzemenin mekanik dayanımı üzerinde belirleyici olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.
