Neutron imaging offers deep penetration through many high-Z materials while also having high sensitivity to certain low-Z isotopes such as 1H, 6Li, and 10B. This unique combination of properties has made neutron imaging an attractive tool for a wide range

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

Lattice structures created via additive manufacturing are of interest in several demanding industries, however the qualification of these components via X-ray computed tomography (XCT) is limited due to traceability requirements. In this work, a novel
Co-axial melt pool monitoring is an in-situ method applied in laser-powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes which uses a high-speed camera optically aligned with the scanning laser to continuously observe and measure the melt pool. This results in a large
The number and types of measurement devices used for monitoring Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion of Metals (PBF-LB/M) processes and inspecting the resulting Additive Manufacturing (AM) metal parts have increased rapidly in recent years. The variety, volume

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)

Building from a foundation of microstructural characterization, mechanical testing, 3D statistically equivalent microstructural volume elements (SEMVEs), and image-based microstructural modeling, this paper develops an effective crystal plasticity model

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
Standard electron beam powder-bed fusion Ti-6Al-4V powder recovery and hot-isostatic pressing has been found to result in a surface layer microstructure change to globular α/β. Thickness control of this surface layer up to 15 μm was demonstrated by varying

The goal of this work is to understand if an additively manufactured 304L stainless steel exhibited similar spot welding behavior as wrought 304L stainless steel. Due to the many differences between an additively manufactured component and wrought product

While performance testing of AM machines is still nascent, standard tests for machine performance of machine tools used in machining are well established. Our hypothesis is that because directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing machines

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)
