Additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic components is increasingly attracting interest of the industrial and scientific communities. This worldwide tendency emerges from the potential of the various AM techniques in producing uniquely-designed near net-shape components of high quality at faster rates. One of the major challenges encountered by this technology is to understand and control the internal stress distribution in AM parts. Residual stresses can indeed be significant and lead to unacceptable distortion or degradation mechanical properties. For that reason, a profound understanding of residual stress/strain distribution is vital for safeguarding quality and performance of high-tech AM parts. The aim of this proposal is to shed lights on the influence of deposition strategy on the resulting stress state of Ti-based components as well as to study the stress redistribution that occurs after baseplate unclamping. This work will be carried out is in the framework of the European project AMAZE (Additive Manufacturing Aiming Towards Zero Waste & Efficient Production of High-Tech Metal Products).
