Abstract
The Additive Manufacturing (AM) process is a computer-controlled process that uses CAD representations to build physical parts layer by layer. Almost all computer-aided design (CAD) packages allow the creation of stereo lithography (STL) files, which are translated into machine commands to drive the AM process. The process is commonly used for producing complex and intricate metal components with high accuracy. Inconel 718 is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant nickel-based super alloy. It is one of the most widely used materials in demanding applications where high-temperature and extreme environment resistance is required. In present research work the IN718 samples are manufactured by using DMLS and modeled by using CAD as per ASTM Standards. The modeled samples were saved in STL file and fabricated by DMLS method in different orientations. To know the mechanical properties of additively manufactured INCONEL 718 samples by mechanical tests like Tensile, compression, impact wear and corrosion tests will be performed. The results obtained for both the set of samples fabricated in different orientations will be compared with the values of wrought or casted samples of INCONEL 718 alloy and determine the DMLS fabricated parts has good mechanical properties compared to casted samples of INCONEL 718
