Additive manufacturing of powder metallurgy disk superalloys can produce unique microstructures that are different from those usually encountered in traditional processing by consolidation, forging, and heat treatments. Unusual variations in grain size, major and minor phase precipitate sizes, and defects can occur. The associated failure modes of these unique microstructures are of high interest. The objective of this study was to compare the failure modes for a powder metallurgy disk superalloy LSHR produced by electron beam melting additive manufacturing. Specimens were subsequently given different solution heat treatments and a fixed aging heat treatment. Tensile, creep, and fatigue failure modes were screened in tests at elevated temperatures. Failure modes were considered with respect to these unique microstructures.
Additive manufacturing of powder metallurgy (PM) disk superalloys can produce unique microstructures that differ from those usually encountered in traditional processing as the result of consolidation, forging, and heat treatments. Unusual variations in grain size, major and minor phase precipitate sizes, and defects can occur. The failure modes associated with these unique microstructures are of high interest. The objective of this study was to compare the failure modes for a low solvus, high refractory (LSHR) PM disk superalloy produced by electron-beam-melting additive manufacturing. Specimens were subsequently given different solution heat treatments and a fixed aging heat treatment. Tensile, creep, and fatigue failure modes were screened in tests at elevated temperatures. Failure modes were considered with respect to these unique microstructures.

Lunabotics provides accredited in-stitutions of higher learning students (vocational-technical, college, university) an opportunity to apply the NASA systems engineering process to design and build a prototype robot. This robot would be capable of performing the proposed operations on the Lunar sur-face in support of future Artemis mission goals. Lunabotics features a systems engineering design challenge to engage students in the next phase of hu-man space exploration supporting the Artemis missions. This two-semester event encourages students to design and build an autonomous or telerobotic robot designed to traverse the simulated Lunar surface and complete the assigned construction tasks. The number of teams accepted into this challenge is not predetermined but is based on the scores and overall quality of the Project Management Plans received and other factors.
