Abstract
Abstract
Fatigue failure is a critical performance metric for additively manufactured (AM) metal parts, especially those intended for safety-critical structural applications (i.e., applications where part failure causes system failure and injury to users). This article discusses some of the common defects that occur in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) components, mitigation strategies, and their impact on fatigue failure. It summarizes the fatigue properties of three commonly studied structural alloys, namely aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, and nickel-base superalloy.
