Nuclear structural material austenitic stainless steel 316L is a polycrystalline composed of single crystals with a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure, and the intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) is closely related to the crystal orientation. A constitutive model is presented to assess the elastic response of anisotropic behavior of single crystals in 316L in this study. With a bicrystal model built by the finite element method, the effects of crystal orientation and grain boundary (GB) inclination on the stress state nearby a symmetric tilt GB were discussed under the constant-displacement condition. The results indicate that when tensile axes are perpendicular to the GB, the stress and strain are equal at the GB and inside the grain, and the crystal misorientation has little effects on the stress and strain distribution. If the GB is not perpendicular to the load direction, the GB inclination angle will change the equivalent elastic modulus along the load direction and result in a larger stress in the grain with larger equivalent elastic modulus, but the stress tends to be equal inside the two grains. The grain size effects verification shows that the conclusions are independent of grain size.

Investment casting of an orthopedic implant plate based on stainless steel 316L was considered an economical process. Nevertheless, the mechanical properties of the investment casting product were found to be inferior as compared to the implant plate fabricated with other methods such as forging due to their differences in the microstructure. Investment casting mostly produced coarser grain as compared to those with forging or rolled process. In order to improve their mechanical properties, cold-rolling followed by a repetitive thermal cycling process is proposed. The goal is to generate finer grain size through recrystallization process leading to nucleation of new grain during the thermal cycling process thus increasing their strength. Stainless steel 316L was cold-rolled to 52% reduction in thickness and this process generate stored strain energy in the form of dislocation density in the material. The thermal cycling treatment performed within several cycles after cold rolling enabling gradual disperse of stored strain energy that facilitates the recrystallization process that initiates new grain formation. The short holding time within several cycles limits the grain growth that normally occurs during annealing. It was found that thermal cycling treatment at a temperature of 950 °C for 35 seconds within four cycles led to the formation of finer grain size of 22 µm on average as compared to the initial investment casting average grain size of 290 µm. The hardness also increases to 253 HV0.3 in this condition as compared to 155 HV0.3 of investment casting products. Lower thermal cycling temperature than 950 °C during the test did not result in grain refinement thus indicating that strain energy relieves were not enough to aid the recrystallization process.

AbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM), and in particular selective laser melting (SLM) technology, allows to produce structural components made of lattice structures. These kinds of structures have received a lot of research attention over recent years due to their capacity to generate easy-to-manufacture and lightweight components with enhanced mechanical properties. Despite a large amount of work available in the literature, the prediction of the mechanical behavior of lattice structures is still an open issue for researchers. Numerical simulations can help to better understand the mechanical behavior of such a kind of structure without undergoing long and expensive experimental campaigns. In this work, we compare numerical and experimental results of a uniaxial tensile test for stainless steel 316L octet-truss lattice specimen. Numerical simulations are based on both the nominal as-designed geometry and the as-build geometry obtained through the analysis of µ-CT images. We find that the use of the as-build geometry is fundamental for an accurate prediction of the mechanical behavior of lattice structures.
