Hot cracking is one of the major defects that can occur in laser-based additive manufacturing. During the terminal stage of solidification, hot cracking initiates when the semi-solid matrix builds up excessive negative (tensile) pressure induced by thermal contraction. This study presents a new quantification of the trends in the above process: we estimate the volume change brought by thermal deformation through a perspective of energy conservation and combine it with the intergranular volume change induced by grain growth and liquid backflow to derive a criterion for hot-cracking initiation. Based on this, we propose two modified indexes that build on prior work, namely: (1)and (2). Here, T is temperature,is the solid fraction of the semi-solid region,is the shrinkage factor andis the material toughness near the solidus temperature. Evaluating these indexes against experimental data reveals that hot-cracking susceptibility is strongly correlated with the second index and indeed is a function of material high-temperature toughness.
