Abstract

<jats:p> Many models have been developed to explore solidification segregation and dendrite structure in additively manufactured parts. However, these models tend to be computationally expensive and consider only a limited number of alloying elements, compromising their practical application. In this work, a methodology to extend the Scheil model, based on interface metastable equilibrium assumptions, is established to predict the spatial compositional maps due to micro-segregation for a laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) build of alloy 718. The compositional maps are contrasted against experimental data measured in a unit dendrite cell by transmission electron microcopy. The validity of Scheil's implicit assumptions under the rapid solidification conditions in L-PBF is further discussed. The extended Scheil model is shown to be computationally efficient and readily applicable to multi-component systems. </jats:p>
