Abstract

Porosity in additively manufactured metals can reduce material strength which is generally considered undesirable. Although studies have shown relationships between process parameters and porosity, monitoring strategies for defect detection and pore formation are still needed. In this paper, instantaneous anomalous conditions are detected in-situ via pyrometry during laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing and correlated with voids observed using post-build micro-computed tomography. Large two-color pyrometry data sets were used to estimate instantaneous temperatures, melt pool orientations and aspect ratios. Machine learning algorithms were then applied to processed pyrometry data to detect outlier images and conditions. It is shown that melt pool outliers are good predictors of voids observed post-build. With this approach, real time process monitoring can be incorporated into systems to detect defect and void formation. Alternatively, using the methodology presented here, pyrometry data can be post processed for porosity assessment.

Detecting keyhole porosity and monitoring process signatures in additive manufacturing: an in situ pyrometry and ex situ X-ray radiography correlation

Journal Article Forien, J ; Calta, N ; DePond, P ; ... - Additive Manufacturing

Creation of pores and defects during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) can lead to poor mechanical properties and thus must be minimized. Post-build inspection is required to ensure the printed parts contain acceptably low defect concentrations. These inspections are time consuming and costly, especially for large or complex parts. As a potential solution, in situ process monitoring can be used to detect the creation of defects, characterize local material behavior and predict expected component properties. However, the precise relationship between pore creation and in situ process monitoring still needs to be understood. In this work, high-speed infrared diode-based pyrometry andmore »« less

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

Journal Article Simonds, Brian J. ; Tanner, Jack ; Artusio-Glimpse, Alexandra ; ... - Applied Materials Today

During laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, laser power absorption is governed by a pro -tean pool of molten metal that can present as a highly reflective surface, a deeply absorbing cavity, or some amalgamation thereof. These melt pool dynamics have been linked to defect creation, porosity, and surface finish quality. Although these are therefore critical for determining final part quality, their in-stantaneous influence on laser absorption have only been explored through simulation. To date, direct real-time observations have been elusive due to the locally extreme environment. In this work, we fo-cus a laser on Ti-6Al-4V powder and bare platemore »« less

Porosity of additive manufacturing parts for process monitoring

Journal Article Slotwinski, J. A. ; Garboczi, E. J. - AIP Conference Proceedings

Some metal additive manufacturing processes can produce parts with internal porosity, either intentionally (with careful selection of the process parameters) or unintentionally (if the process is not well-controlled.) Material porosity is undesirable for aerospace parts - since porosity could lead to premature failure - and desirable for some biomedical implants, since surface-breaking pores allow for better integration with biological tissue. Changes in a part's porosity during an additive manufacturing build may also be an indication of an undesired change in the process. We are developing an ultrasonic sensor for detecting changes in porosity in metal parts during fabrication on amore »« less

Relationship between ductility and the porosity of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg

Journal Article Laursen, Christopher M. ; DeJong, Stephanie A. ; Dickens, Sara M. ; ... - Materials Science and Engineering. A, Structural Materials: Properties, Microstructure and Processing

Additive manufacturing via selective laser melting can result in variable levels of internal porosity both between build plates and within components from the same build. In this work, sample porosity levels were compared to tensile properties for 176 samples spanning eight different build plates. Sample porosity was measured both by Archimedes density, which provided an estimation of overall porosity, and by observation of voids in the fracture surface, which provided an estimation of the porosity at the failure plane. The porosity observed at the fracture surface consistently demonstrated higher porosity than that suggested by Archimedes density. The porosity values obtainedmore »« less

XCT analysis of the influence of melt strategies on defect population in Ti–6Al–4V components manufactured by Selective Electron Beam Melting

Journal Article Tammas-Williams, S., E-mail: Samuel.tammas-wiliams@manchester.ac.uk ; Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S1 3JD ; Zhao, H. ; ... - Materials Characterization

Selective Electron Beam Melting (SEBM) is a promising powder bed Additive Manufacturing technique for near-net-shape manufacture of high-value titanium components. However without post-manufacture HIPing the fatigue life of SEBM parts is currently dominated by the presence of porosity. In this study, the size, volume fraction, and spatial distribution of the pores in model samples have been characterised in 3D, using X-ray Computed Tomography, and correlated to the process variables. The average volume fraction of the pores (< 0.2%) was measured to be lower than that usually observed in competing processes, such as selective laser melting, but a strong relationship wasmore »« less
