Cross-Sectional Melt Pool Geometry of Laser Scanned Tracks and Pads on Nickel Alloy 718 for the 2022 Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Challenges

May 7, 2024
Author(s)
Jordan Weaver, David Deisenroth, Sergey Mekhontsev, Brandon Lane, Lyle E. Levine, Ho Yeung
AM Bench is a NIST-led organization that provides a continuing series of additive manufacturing (AM) benchmark measurements, challenge problems, and conferences with the primary goal of enabling modelers to test their simulations against rigorous, highly

Design and Evaluation of Large Aperture Gallium Fixed Point Blackbody

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
V B. Khromchenko, Sergey Mekhontsev, Leonard Hanssen
To complement existing water bath blackbodies which are now serving as NIST primary standard sources in the temperature range from 15 C to 75 C, a gallium fixed point blackbody has been recently built. The main objectives of the project included creating
