Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the trending process among all the innovative methods to produce uniform distribution of microstructure and properties in the constituent parts in a cost-effective manner. However, most of the fusion based manufacturing techniques possess a drawback in the form of residual stresses developed during the processing stage. This demands for the development of more effective AM methods having the potential for near-net shape manufacturing of the parts with minimized residual stresses which has led to the inception of a novel solid-state AM process named “MELD”.This study investigated the microstructure and properties developed in the multi-layer Alloy 600 deposit on 304L stainless steel manufactured by MELD process. Unlike other fusion based AM processes, MELD showed a compressive residual stress (~ -380 MPa) on the surface of the deposited material. The average hardness of the deposit (~ 3.29 GPa) was comparable with that of Alloy 600 manufactured by other AM processes. Additionally, a localized increase in the hardness could be observed at the interfaces between two subsequent layers which was attributed to the grain refinement resulting from dynamic recrystallization in the interfacial areas during the MELD process. Large amount of carbide precipitates formed during the recrystallization at the interface restricted the grains size by pinning them together. High temperature in areas away from interface caused dissolution of carbides leading to grain coarsening. This trend of grains size and carbide precipitates was repeated in each of the deposited layers. The point and space group of the carbide precipitate was determined from TEM analysis. The deposit possessed very low dislocation density and hence low plasticity. Though, the distribution of sub-grains and low angle boundaries followed a particular pattern in all the layers. A very strong texture was exhibited by the as-MELD processed deposit. It also displayed substantially higher tensile properties than other solid-state process counterparts.Advanced mechanical surface treatments were performed to develop plastic strains in the near surface region of the material. The effects of LSP could be observed to a much deeper extent. High compressive residual stresses of -1400 MPa and -900 MPa were measured in case of UNSM and LSP, respectively. UNSM increased the near surface hardness to 4.92 GPa, whereas, LSP increased the value to 4.3 GPa.The as-MELD processed Alloy 600 was annealed at 400°, 500°, 600° and 700° C each for 2 hours. The grains size distribution of annealed material followed the same pattern exhibited by the as-MELD processed material. Annealing at 400° and 500° C did not have much effects on the microstructural features. Though, the carbides that remained dissolved inside the matrix during the MELD processing, seemed to have reappeared when the material was annealed at 600° and 700° C. The carbides reduced the size of grains by pinning them. But the microstructural analysis could not explain the variation in the hardness of the annealed material. 2018 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1542724808933024 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1542724808933024 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
