Abstract

Alloy718 specimens built by selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM) were comparatively examined. The higher cooling rate resulted in a high dislocation density and interdendritic precipitates, which brought about inferior creep properties in SLM alloys. However, a low dislocation density, distributed δ precipitates and a strong 〈001〉 texture were observed in the EBM material. As a result, the creep life of the direct-aged EBM specimen approached 1100 hours and was comparable to that of conventional cast-and-wrought alloys at 650 °C.
