Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metallic components shows unfavorable properties in their as-built state; surface roughness, anisotropy, residual stresses, and internal /surface defects are common issues that affect dynamic properties of AM metals. This paper reviews traditional fatigue testing techniques, summarizes published fatigue data for wrought and additively manufactured metals with focus on Inconel 718. Surface and volume defects of AM metals were presented and how post processing techniques could improve fatigue performance were shown. Different methods for normalizing fatigue data were explored due to varying results of different fatigue testing techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
