Property anisotropy and its unpredictability in direct laser-deposited material is a drawback to this additive manufacturing method. In this study, direct laser deposition was used to build three-dimensional cuboids of Ni-based superalloy 718, which were examined with microscopy, and analyzed for hardness trends with contour mapping. Secondary electron and backscatter electron contrast imaging were used in conjunction with electron backscatter diffraction to understand microstructure. It is found that hardness decreased with increasing height and linear energy used during deposition. Also, the hardness of the inner hatching was higher than the outer contour, in both planar and cross-sectional surfaces. After an examination of grain structure and phase distribution, it is proposed that the hardness trends are caused by a combination of detrimental Laves phase and strengthening γ″ phase distribution.
