1 Introduction

High content of nickel and chromium combining with other chemical elements affect on material properties. High temperature resistance and good mechanical properties determine of use Inconel 625 in the aviation, energetic, chemical and automotive industries.

Laser additive deposition is modern technology using for cladding and rapid prototyping of metals. Deposition process using laser radiation are high controllable, precise energy control, process repeatability, small deformations and narrow heat affected zone (HAZ) affect in use this technology in advanced applications. Due to using metallic powders or filler wire as an additional material and laser beam as a heat source precision deposition process can be carried out. Nickel based alloys use for modification and prototyping processes are extensively studied by many researchers. Numerous publication of rapid prototyping, padding welding, cladding are related to modification of surface properties and elements manufacturing using SLM method [3, 4, 5, 6, 7]. Problems with thermal treatment of high alloys such as Inconel 625 are caused by process instability and multiple thermal cycles. Porosity, spatters and oxidation in fusion zone affect on strength characteristic of obtained additively structure.

Deposition process efficiency are depend on additive material feed ratio and quantity of input energy. Equivalent of heat used for deposition process are related to output power, speed ratio and thermal properties of material. Absorptivity of laser beam are depend on laser wavelength,surface reflectivity and process parameters. Prototyping process are based on selective deposition of additional material.

Multiple layer deposition change metallographic structure, deposition of upper layers affect on lower layers structure. Uniform properties of prototyped material are effect of thermo-mechanical history. Selective hardening and tempering may caused nonuniformity of material structure and properties. Therefore in order to define properties of prototyped material mechanical and metallographic tests are required [8, 9, 10, 11].

Due to various difficulties in manufacturing Inconel 625 components, alternative technology using LENS method can be carried out. Inconel have high anti-corrosion properties, both in normal and supercritical conditions, low thermal expansion and creep resistance. That results in determining Inconel 625 in using as an anti-corrosive protective coatings, and for components working at high temperatures. Numerous publications have been reported in this research area [12, 13, 14]. However only few are related to prototyping of three-dimensional structures using CO2 laser and Inconel alloy in form of powder. In this article, basic mechanical properties and microstructure analysis of three-dimensional specimen are presented. Paper present possibility of use Inconel 625 and LENS deposition technology for prototyping of cuboids shape solid specimen and studied properties of deposited material using destructive tests and metallographic analysis.

2 Experimental procedure

Prototyping process of Inconel 625 was performed using CO2 laser integrated with TruLaserCell 1005 machine system. Deposition process was performed using metallic powder Inconel 625 with particle size of −90 +45μm and laser cladding head with focal length of 270 mm integrated with coaxial powder feeder GTV M-PF 2/2. Metallic powder was conveyed to laser focal point by helium gas and three nozzle transport system. Substrate material in form of Inconel 625 sheet plate was cladded using multiple layers prototyping process (Figure 1). Deposition parameters selection was carried out in a separate study using the procedure to achieve high efficiency coefficient (similar width and high dimensions of single layer, with heat source energy for obtaining complete melting of deposited material with small amount of spatters). Finally, the following parameters were used to developed cuboid sample; laser power = 2.2kW, scanning speed Vs=800mm/min, powder feed ratio 15g/min. Subsequenting layers method was used for developing cuboid specimen with the dimensions of d=16mm, h=16mm and l=45mm (Figure 2), where inter-spaces between layers was equal to 5mm. Multiple overlay layers were made to obtained assumed sample geometry. Interlayer temperature were controlled (not exceed 300 Celsius degree) to avoid high laser radiation absorption factor which may disrupt deposition process and affect on material properties.

Multilayer cuboid specimen using laser deposition technology was manufactured. Layers was cladded alternately alongside X and Y axis until assumed geometry was attained (Figure 2). Process head was oriented perpendicular to surface of substrate material, with no inclination at upper layers. No additional preheat, neither post process heat treatment was used, therefore properties of prototyped material are exclusively related to additive process. Initial conditions in prototyping process are differ, laser beam absorption increasing during depositions of subsequent layers, this phenomena are related to volume of heat accumulated in material. The dominant mechanism of heat transfer is conduction. From upper layers, heat transfer occurs only by thermal conductivity to the lower layers. Nevertheless material such as Inconel 625 have very low thermal conduction coefficient and thermal exchange are relatively slow. Due to multilayer process and low substrate and deposited materials conductivity, heat accumulation factor are high, and affect on process conditions and material uniformity [15, 16, 17, 18]. Prototyped solid material has been machined, and cylindrical specimens for strength analysis was developed (cylindrical samples was gather from material where sample was cut on 4 pieces according to dashed line presented on Figure 2, and upper layers vertex was cut off). Moreover due to determine properties of deposited material mechanical tests and metallographic analysis were carried out.

Developed cuboid sample have irregular shape, no process head inclination for upper layers was used, therefore forefoot in face of padding weld can be observed (Figure 2). Comparing to prototyping by CO2 gas laser and filler wire as an additional material, no keyhole effect is require in LENS method. Moreover in selective melting of metallic powders heat source are use only for melting additional material, does not penetrate substrate, and fusion between layers are based on conduction effect of molten and solid materials. Whereby considerably small fusion depth into substrate material was obtained.

3 Properties analysis and results discussion

Properties of deposited material depend on crystallographic structure and are related to chemical composition and prototyping parameters. In order to define properties of obtained material destructive tests was performed. Therefore to determine strength and elongation of deposited material tensile test according to PN-EN ISO 4136 standard was carried out (Figure 3). In addition, the test was carried out under normal conditions (two samples) and at elevated temperature (one sample), where the sample was heated to 700 Celsius degrees with furnace.

Manufactured specimens were stretched by increasing load force until failure (Figure 4) using Instron 4500 testing machine. Sample internal diameter was 3mm with measuring length equal to 18mm. The rupture of a specimen was obtained at loading force equal approximately to 4.9 and 4.85 kN in normal conditions (Figure 5a), and 4.3 kN at elevated temperature (Figure 5b).

Failure of sample in normal conditions is typical for nickel based alloy, break was occurred along Luders band. Therefore, for sample stretched in normal conditions fracture was identified as an brittle failure, however at elevated temperature fracture characteristic changes from brittle to ductile. Strength of manufactured material based of performed tensile test is 700 and 687 MPa in normal conditions (second sample - orange line, in first stage sample was leap on thread, however maximum load force wassimilar) and 617 MPa at elevated temperature (there was only one sample tested at elevated temperature).

Elongation of manufactured material stretched in normal conditions was assumed as 4.5 and 4.9%, however at elevated temperature increase to 15.3%, but still is significantly lower than nominal. Strength value equal to 700, 687 and 617MPa, are lower than base material. The demonstrated decrease in strength is related to a characteristic structure resulting from multiple thermal cycles occurred during multilayer manufacturing process. Yield strength of manufactured material are equal to 540 and 527 MPa in normal conditions and 430 MPa at elevated temperature. Obtained value of Yield strength are similar to value of annealed Inconel 625 base material (414 - 621 MPa) [19], according to producer specification. Based on performed tensile tests can be state that higher strength have material working in normal conditions. However, when heated to 700 Celsius degree material become more plastic and increase of formability was observed. Temperature increase reduces stress and normalizes the material. Therefore, for applications where plasticity is important, annealing process are recommended. Phase transformation and post-built thermal cycles affect on microstructure. Therefore properties of obtained material are lower than nominal BM value, nevertheless some differences in material strength and plasticity in normal conditions relative to specimen heated to 700 Celsius was observed. Material strength characteristic can be related to stress relief annealing phenomena, and microstructure segregation (potentially formation of twin structures), however require further investigation.

To determine further properties of manufactured material hardness distribution analysis was performed. For this purpose hardness test according to PN-EN ISO 6507-1 standard using INNOVATEST Nexus 4303 hardness machine and Vickers method wascarried out. Figure 6 shown distribution of test points and Figure 7 shown hardness numbers.

Hardness of deposited material test results

Hardness number are related to material structure, and affect on material strength and wearability. Moreover hardness test is one of material uniformity identification method, where hardness distribution in cross section was measured. Therefore, hardness was measured in four characteristic areas of sample: top layers, down layers, fusion zone and substrate material, were selected and hardness test was carried out.

Value of obtained hardness are between 202-287 HV10. Hardness in upper layers are lower, and slightly increase towards the lower layers. Hardness distribution probably are related to partial recrystallization during multilayer deposition and thermal gradient. Hardness value in fusion zone and substrate material are approximately uniform. Heat accumulated in upper layers results in annealing process. Chemical composition of substrate and deposited materials are similar, therefore have no an effect on solidification stability and phase transformation. Moreover no additional elements improving hardenability was transferred, and no hardening process occurred [20, 21, 22].

Structure of obtained deposited cuboid is uniform, nevertheless some differences between upper and bottom layers in grain size are observed. Size of HAZ in substrate material is neglected. Chemical composition is based on equivalent of nickel, chromium and other elements. Obtained mechanical properties are also related to numerous thermal cycles during deposition of prototyped material. Therefore melting and crystallization process during deposition change the crystalline structure affecting on strength characteristic. Moreover metallic crystal lattice direction in multilayer deposition process are complex, and in cross section of manufactured material may have differ characteristic. Grain refining in fusion zone was observed (Figure 8).

Figure 8 Structure of substrate and deposited Inconel 625

Structure of substrate and deposited Inconel 625

In deposited sample three characteristic zones can be observed: top layers with height equal to approximately 4mm, lower layers (dominant zone) with height equal to 12mm, and fusion zone with depth not exceed 0.5mm.

Fusion zone between deposited and substrate materials are very narrow, therefore material mixing are intensive only in first layers, however for reduce migration of alloying elements substrate material in the same grade as additional material was chosen. Differences in deposition conditions are observe only near fusion line, in higher layers structure have uniform characteristic related to crystallization direction. The microstructure of deposited material is assumed as dendritic (Figure 9) [23, 24]. Deposited materials have fine columnar structure, with characteristic oriented parallel to deposition direction of dendrites.

No explicit bead fusion line was observed, however particular layers can be identified by dendrites growth directions. Confirmation of uniform material characteristic was performed using quality electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis method (Figure 10).

EDS analysis of Inconel 625 alloy basic chemical elements shown uniform structure, with lack of distribution disturbance. Moreover there are no difference in fusion line of particular layers, therefore obtained previous results of uniform material structure can be assume as reliable.

4 Conclusion

Based on carried out research the following conclusions can be made:

  1. The tensile strength of the manufactured material is 12 to 15% lower than the base material, while the yield strength is within the range of Inconel 625 producer specification, however require additional tests to state obtained properties credibility (particularly at elevated temperature)

  2. The plasticity of the tested material changes with temperature, in normal conditions the yield point is equal to 540-527 MPa (elongation 4.5-4.9%) and at 700 Celsius degree 430 MPa (elongation 15.3%).

  3. Microhardness in deposited material is variable; in the upper layer it is from 240 to 200 HV10, after which it increases and in the lower layer it is 240 HV10, while in the diffusion zone it reaches the value of BM and is equal to 280 HV10.

  4. The microstructure of the prototyped material is columnar dendritic, with dendrite orientation related to the direction of crystallization.

  5. Metallographic and EDS analysis confirm the uniform structure and chemical composition of the material, alloy’s components (Cr, Ni, Mo, Nb) have uniform distributed in material.

Obtained research results shown, that the developed technology has great potential in prototyping, regeneration and surface modification, however, it requires further research to acknowledge and improve the properties of the produced material. Moreover additional research of manufactured material properties such as corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures and strength tests at variable temperatures is planned.
