Rapid development of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) technology enables almost unconstrained design freedom for metallic parts and components in automotive industry. However, the mechanical properties of L-PBF alloys, AlSi10Mg for example, have shown significant differences when compared with their counterparts via conventional manufacturing process, due to the unique microstructure induced by extremely high heating and cooling rate. Therefore, microstructure informed material modeling approach is critical to fully unveil the process-structure-property correlation for such materials and enable the consideration of the effect of manufacturing during part design. Multi-scale material modeling approach, in which crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) models were employed at the microscale, has been previously developed for L-PBF AlSi10Mg.
