Overview

This document covers supplementary guidelines for evaluation of mechanical properties including static/quasi-static and dynamic testing of metals made by additive manufacturing (AM) to provide guidance toward reporting when results from testing of as-built specimen or specimen cut out from AM parts made by this technique or both. This document is provided to leverage already existing standards. Guidelines are provided for mechanical properties measurements and reporting for additively manufactured metallic specimen as well as those cut out from AM parts. This document expands upon the nomenclature of ISO/ASTM 52900 and principles of ISO/ASTM 52921 and extends them specifically to metal additive manufacturing. The application of this document is primarily intended to provide guidance on orientation designations in cases where meaningful orientation/direction for AM cannot be obtained from available test methods. The responsible national standardization committee is Joint Working Committee NA 145-04-02 GA "Additive Fertigung - NWT, NAS & NL Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss Metalle und Luft- und Raumfahrt" ("Additive Manufacturing - NWT, NAS & NL Joint working committee Metals and Aerospace") at DIN Standards Committee Technology of Materials (NWT).
