WELD TRACK DISTORTION IN LASER POWDER BED FUSION OF NICKEL SUPERALLOY 625

July 11, 2022
Author(s)
Jason Fox, Christopher Evans, Aarush Sood, Romaine Isaacs, Brigid Mullany, Angela Allen, Ed Morse
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is one of a group of manufacturing technologies capable of producing complex structures and surfaces in small batches and with reduced lead time. Materials ranging from light metals (e.g., aluminum alloys) to high temperature

Schmid Factor Crack Propagation and Tracking Crystallographic Texture Markers of Microstructural Condition in Direct Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing of Ti-6Al-4V

July 6, 2022
Author(s)
Alec Saville, Jake Benzing, Sven Vogel, Jessica Buckner, Collin Donohoue, Andrew Kustas, Adam Creuziger, Kester Clarke, Amy Clarke
Metallic additive manufacturing (AM) provides a customizable and tailorable manufacturing process for new engineering designs and technologies. The greatest challenge currently facing metallic AM is maintaining control of microstructural evolution during

Suppression of filament defects in embedded 3D printing

July 5, 2022
Author(s)
Leanne Friedrich, Ross Gunther, Jonathan Seppala
Embedded 3D printing enables the manufacture of soft, intricate structures. In the technique, a nozzle is embedded into a viscoelastic support bath and extrudes filaments or droplets. While embedded 3D printing expands the printable materials space to low

Spatiotemporal Monitoring of Melt-Pool Variations in Metal-Based Additive Manufacturing

July 1, 2022
Author(s)
Siqing Zhang, Yan Lu, Paul Witherell, Timothy Simpson, Soundar Kumara, Hui Yang
Additive manufacturing provides a higher level of flexibility to build customized products with complex geometries. However, AM is currently limited in its ability to ensure quality assurance and process repeatability. Advanced imaging provides unique

Surface Feature Characteristics of Laser Powder Bed Fusion of Nickel Super Alloy 625 Bulk Regions

June 1, 2022
Author(s)
Jason Fox, Romaine Isaacs, Aarush Sood, Paul Brackman, Brigid Mullany, Edward Morse, Angela Allen, Edson Santos, Christopher Evans
Coherence scanning interferometry (CSI) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) surface inspection of additively manufactured nickel super alloy 625 reveal features over a broad range of length scales beyond those typically reported. High resolution

Print Fidelity Metrics for Additive Manufacturing of Cement-based Materials

March 24, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Newell Moser, Joseph Biernacki, Hajar Afarani, Ebrahim Esfahani
Additively manufactured cement-based structures for infrastructure applications suffer from in-construction shape deformations, which are a strong function of process conditions and the rheology of the printing material (cement paste, mortar, or concrete)

Novel or Improved NDE Inspection Capabilities for Additively Manufactured Parts

February 26, 2022
Author(s)
Ward L. Johnson, Anne-Francoise Obaton, Alex Van den Bossch, Bryan Butsch, Imane Zouggarh, Olivier Burnet, Florent Soulard
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the production of parts with extremely complex shapes, such as lattice structures and internal structures (cavities, channels). As a result of this geometric complexity, the applicability of most conventional

Interface History on Strain Field Evolution in Epoxy Resins

January 21, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Newell Moser, Jena McCollum, Jared Strutton, Abby Jennings, Brandon Runnels
To determine the viability of digital image correlation in the analysis of additively manufactured thermosets, we devised a testing method to examine the effect of interface history (i.e., time between interface formation and original material deposition)

The causal relationship between melt pool geometry and energy absorption measured in real time during laser-based manufacturing

December 16, 2021
Author(s)
Brian Simonds, Jack R. Tanner, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Paul A. Williams, Niranjan Parab, Cang Zhao, Tao Sun
During laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, a protean pool of molten metal governs a complex energy absorption process as it presents as either a highly reflective surface, a deeply absorbing cavity (a keyhole), or some amalgamation thereof. To

Sintered powder oxidation variation as a function of build height for titanium alloy produced by electron beam powder-bed fusion

November 26, 2021
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Alejandro Romero, Aldo Rubio, Cesar Terrazas, Francisco Medina, Ryan Wicker, Nik Hrabe
It is well-established that titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) powder oxidizes during electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) due to the high background temperatures resulting from layer preheating and sintering of the powder bed before melting. However, it is

HYBRID MODELING OF MELT POOL GEOMETRY IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING NEURAL NETWORKS

November 17, 2021
Author(s)
Kevontrez Jones, Zhuo Yang, Ho Yeung, Paul Witherell, Yan Lu
Laser powder-bed fusion is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that offers exciting advantages for the fabrication of metallic parts compared to traditional techniques, such as the ability to create complex geometries with less material waste. However

IN-PROCESS DATA FUSION FOR PROCESS MONITORING AND CONTROL OF METAL ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

November 17, 2021
Author(s)
Zhuo Yang, Yan Lu, Simin Li, Jennifer Li, Yande Ndiaye, Hui Yang, Sundar Krishnamurty
To accelerate the adoption of Metal Additive Manufacturing (MAM) for production, an understanding of MAM process-structure-property (PSP) relationships is indispensable for quality control. A multitude of physical phenomena involved in MAM necessitates the

Evaluation of a Modified Void Descriptor Function to Uniquely Characterize Pore Networks and Predict Fracture Location in Additively Manufactured Metals

November 15, 2021
Author(s)
Dillon Watring, Jake Benzing, Orion Kafka, Li-Anne Liew, Newell Moser, John Erickson, Nik Hrabe, Ashley Spear
Variations in additive manufacturing (AM) processing parameters can lead to variations in porosity, making it challenging to predict pore- or void-sensitive mechanical response in AM metals. A recently developed pore metric, the void descriptor function
