Microstructure and texture in conventionally processed and additively manufactured Inconel 625. a Backscattered electron image of etched CP-IN625 with Mo- and Nb-rich (bright) and Ti-rich (dark) carbides. Scale bar: 50 μm. b Secondary electron image of etched AM-IN625 with Mo- and Nb-rich carbides, N-rich phase, and Laves phase. Scale bar: 50 μm. c EBSD map of planes whose normal is parallel to the build length direction (BLD). Here BTD denotes the build thickness direction, and BVD denotes the build vertical direction. The colors correspond to the hkl plane normals coming out of the page. Scale bar: 500 μm. d (200) pole figure of the AM build determined from neutron diffraction, showing a Goss texture component: {011} <001>. The center of the pole figure is parallel to the BVD. e, f Neutron diffraction patterns, in the loading direction (LD) and transverse direction (TD), of AM-IN625 and CP-IN625 samples at 600 °C prior to loading
