AM Bench 2018 Residual Elastic Strain Measurements of 3D Additive Manufacturing Builds of IN625 Artifacts Using Neutron Diffraction and Synchrotron X-ray Diffraction

The development of large residual elastic strains and stresses during laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing is one of the most significant barriers to widespread adoption. Accurate modeling of these strains and stresses is broadly recognized as an effective tool for mitigating these challenges, but rigorous validation data are needed. This data publication includes measurement data from diffraction-based characterizations of residual elastic strains in as-built (not heat treated) artifacts manufactured as part the the 2018 Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Series (AM Bench). Comprehensive details about AM Bench and the measurement data released in 2018 and 2022 may be found at .
