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

Laser spot size and scaling laws for laser beam additive manufacturing

November 3, 2021
Author(s)
Jordan Weaver, Jarred C. Heigel, Brandon Lane
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing (AM) requires the careful selection of laser process parameters for each feedstock material and machine, which is a laborious process. Scaling laws based on the laser power, speed, and spot size; melt

Ontology-based Process Map for Metal Additive Manufacturing

October 21, 2021
Author(s)
Paul Witherell, Byeong-Min Roh, Soundar Kumara, Timothy Simpson
Additive manufacturing (AM) is a layer-by-layer material deposition process that allows for more manufacturing flexibility and design complexity than traditional manufacturing processes. However, the print quality in metal AM is hard to be predicted and
