This material is a nickel-base alloy, which is well known for its chemical resistance and mechanical properties, especially in high-temperature environments. The fatigue performance of parts produced via Metallic Additive Manufacturing (MAM) heavily rely on their manufacturing parameters. Therefore, it is important to characterize the properties of alloys produced by a given set of parameters. The present work proposes a methodology for characterization of the mechanical properties of MAM parts, including the material production parametrization by Laser Directed Energy Deposition (DED). The methodology consists of the testing of miniaturized specimens, after their production in DED, supported by a numerical model developed and validated by experimental data for stress calculation. An extensive mechanical characterization, with emphasis on high-cycle fatigue, of Inconel 625 produced via DED is herein discussed. The results obtained using miniaturized specimens were in good agreement with standard-sized specimens, therefore validating the applied methodology even in the case of some plastic effects. Regarding the high-cycle fatigue properties, the samples produced via DED presented good fatigue performance, comparable with other competing Metallic Additive Manufactured (MAMed) and conventionally manufactured materials.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/met12010156","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,16]],"date-time":"2022-01-16T20:45:21Z","timestamp":1642365921000},"page":"156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Fatigue Assessment of Inconel 625 Produced by Directed Energy Deposition from Miniaturized Specimens"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7352-8637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Felipe","family":"Klein Fiorentin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (INEGI), FEUP Campus, Dr. Roberto Frias Street, n 400, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), Dr. Roberto Frias Street, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Duarte","family":"Maciel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (INEGI), FEUP Campus, Dr. Roberto Frias Street, n 400, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), Dr. Roberto Frias Street, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Gil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (INEGI), FEUP Campus, Dr. Roberto Frias Street, n 400, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), Dr. Roberto Frias Street, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), Dr. Roberto Frias Street, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Filippo","family":"Berto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1059-715X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ab\u00edlio","family":"de Jesus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (INEGI), FEUP Campus, Dr. Roberto Frias Street, n 400, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"},{"name":"Mechanical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP), Dr. Roberto Frias Street, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kumar, S.
