“…Prost et al showed that the growth rate of fatigue cracks in PBF‐LB/IN718 seems to be mainly determined by the crystallographic texture. [
43 ] They observed a higher fatigue crack growth rate in a variant with
orientation than in a more isotropic material (test condition: loading parallel to BD, z , notch orientation orthogonal to z ; T = 550 °C). They observed transgranular crack growth under those test conditions and point out that the crack growth mechanism strongly depends on the microstructure.…”
