Abstract
En 中文
Aluminum cold spray additive builds were made with varying wall widths and geometries to explore the effects of build geometry on residual stress development in the additively sprayed material. Deposition rates of over 750 g/hr were achieved without any cracking or delamination of the additively manufactured components. Neutron residual stress measurements revealed a maximum tensile residual stress of 41 MPa at the interface of the substrate and a maximum compressive residual stress of -35 MPa in the cold sprayed material. While there was not found to be significant residual stress changes between the cold sprayed walls, the cold sprayed cylinder had varying residual stress throughout the diameter with the outer diameter having a higher tensile residual stress than the interior. The low residual stress and minimal geometrical dependency demonstrate further part size is possible without concerns for component failure in AA6061. The application of common coating residual stress models to full scale additive builds is evaluated and discussed. The lack of residual stress evolution was studied by in-situ coating property measurement that revealed that the deposition stress of the AA6061 sprays reduced with increased layer thickness. This study provides insight into the evolution of residual stress in cold spray additive components and how both the mechanics and material responses differ from coatings.
