Metal Additive Manufacturing: A Review of Mechanical Properties
This article reviews published data on the mechanical properties of additively manufactured metallic materials. The additive manufacturing techniques utilized to generate samples covered in this review include powder bed fusion (e.g. EBM, SLM, DMLS) and directed energy deposition (e.g. LENS, EBF3) Although only a limited number of metallic alloy systems are currently available for additive manufacturing (e.g. Ti 6Al 4V, TiAl, stainless steel, Inconel 625/718, and Al Si 10Mg) the bulk of the published mechanical properties information has been generated on Ti 6Al 4V. However, summary tables for published mechanical properties and/or key figures are included for each of the alloys listed above, grouped by the additive technique used to generate the data. Published values for mechanical properties obtained from hardness, tension/compression, fracture toughness, fatigue crack growth, and high cycle fatigue are included for as built, heat treated, and/or HIP conditions, when available.
