Abstract:
Nickel-based superalloys are designed for high-temperature applications and exhibit micro-deformation mechanisms distinct from those observed at room temperature (RT). This paper investigated the microstructure, mechanical properties and deformation behaviors of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) GH3536 alloy at RT, 750 °C and 815 °C using in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micro-tensile tests combined crystal plasticity finite-element simulation. The results show that as-built LPBF GH3536 alloy presents dendrite microstructure with plenty of processing cracks and pores. Anisotropic mechanical properties were observed, with higher strength in the laser scanning direction and greater elongation to fracture in the building direction. As the temperature rises, both strength and elongation to fracture decrease, with the rate of decline gradually accelerating. The processing defects, such as pores and microcracks, are the main reason for the crack initiation and fracture during tensile. The existence of melt pool boundaries (MPBs) and dendrite boundaries are responsible for the crack propagation. At high temperatures, low dislocation density reduces the bonding strength of MPBs and GBs, causing the deformation behavior of the LPBF GH3536 alloy shift from ductile at RT to brittle fracture at elevated temperature (ETs). © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
