Dear all,
I am writing to seek your guidance and expertise in using CPFEM to analyze the mechanical response of alloys fabricated via SLM (Selective Laser Melting). Specifically, I am facing challenges in assigning preferable orientations (texture) in the input files for CPFEM.
In the SLM-fabricated samples I am studying, the columnar grains are prominent on the sides, while the top surface exhibits equiaxed grains. Notably, the top plane demonstrates a cube texture of {100}, as evidenced by the EBSD pole figures. Additionally, the grain growth direction that aligns with [001], parallel to the building direction, is preferred.
My objective is to generate representative element volumes (RVEs) that closely resemble the experimental results, encompassing grain size and preferable orientations. These RVEs will serve as the input files for DAMASK.
To achieve this, I am considering employing either Neper or Dream.3d. I am particularly interested in your insights on how to realize the texture assignment in RVEs using either of these tools.
I have attached a picture (JOM volume 72, pages 75–82 (2020)) for your reference, which illustrates the sample's microstructure. Any assistance or guidance you can provide would be immensely valuable to my research.
Thank you very much for your kind support.
Best regards,
Yongyun
