Outcomes and Conclusions from the 2018 AM-Bench Measurements, Challenge Problems, Modeling Submissions, and Conference

February 13, 2020
Author(s)
Lyle E. Levine, Brandon M. Lane, Jarred C. Heigel, Kalman D. Migler, Mark R. Stoudt, Thien Q. Phan, Richard E. Ricker, Maria Strantza, Michael R. Hill, Fan Zhang, Jonathan E. Seppala, Edward J. Garboczi, Erich D. Bain, Daniel Cole, Andrew J. Allen, Jason C. Fox, Carelyn E. Campbell
The Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Test Series (AM-Bench) was established to provide rigorous measurement test data for validating additive manufacturing (AM) simulations for a broad range of AM technologies and material systems. AM-Bench includes

Measurements of Melt Pool Geometry and Cooling Rates of Individual Laser Traces on IN625 Bare Plates

February 5, 2020
Author(s)
Brandon M. Lane, Jarred C. Heigel, Richard E. Ricker, Ivan Zhirnov, Vladimir Khromchenko, Jordan S. Weaver, Thien Q. Phan, Mark R. Stoudt, Sergey Mekhontsev, Lyle E. Levine
The complex physical nature of the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process warrants use of multiphysics computational simulations to predict or design optimal operating parameters or resultant part qualities such as microstructure or defect concentration

Topographic Measurement of Individual Laser Tracks in Alloy 625 Bare Plates

October 10, 2019
Author(s)
Richard E. Ricker, Jarred C. Heigel, Brandon M. Lane, Ivan Zhirnov, Lyle E. Levine
Additive manufacturing (AM) combines all of the complexities of materials processing and manufacturing into a single process. The digital revolution made this combination possible, but the commercial viability of these technologies for critical parts may

Influence of optical system operation on stability of single tracks in selective laser melting

August 20, 2019
Author(s)
Ivan Zhirnov, Igor Yadroitsev, Brandon Lane, Sergey Mekhontsev, Steven Grantham, Ina Yadroitsava
Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are increasingly being studied and introduced into the modern industry, but for wide applications there exists some "lack of confidence" about the quality of the parts produced by AM. This distrust has an objective

Implementation of Advanced Laser Control Strategies for Powder Bed Fusion Systems

June 21, 2018
Author(s)
Ho Yeung, Brandon Lane, Alkan Donmez, Jason Fox, Jorge Neira
Laser path, scan speed, and laser power are critical machine parameters determining the quality of the output of laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) processes. A jerk-limited control strategy is implemented for laser path planning on a LPBF additive

Application of Finite Element, Phase-field, and CALPHAD-based Methods to Additive Manufacturing of Ni-based Superalloys

Trevor Keller, Greta Lindwall, Supriyo Ghosh, Li Ma, Brandon M. Lane, Fan Zhang, Ursula R. Kattner, Eric Lass, Yaakov S. Idell, Maureen E. Williams, Andrew J. Allen, Jonathan E. Guyer, Lyle E. Levine
Numerical simulations are used in this work to investigate aspects of microstructure and microsegregation during rapid solidification of a Ni-based superalloy in a laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process. Thermal modeling by finite element

Continuous Laser Scan Strategy for Faster Build Speeds in Laser Powder Bed Fusion System

August 9, 2017
Author(s)
Ho Yeung, Brandon Lane, Jason Fox, Felix Kim, Jarred C. Heigel, Jorge Neira
Research has shown significant influence of laser scan strategy on various part qualities in the laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process. The National Institute of Standards and Technology developed the Additive Manufacturing Metrology

THERMAL PROPERTY MEASUREMENT METHODS AND ANALYSIS FOR AM SOLIDS AND POWDERS

August 9, 2017
Author(s)
Justin G. Whiting, Brandon M. Lane, Kevin Chou, Bo Cheng
Thermal properties of additive manufacturing (AM) solids and precursor materials are important factors for build process and part performance. However, measured thermal properties are not well documented, despite being used extensively in AM modeling and

Thermographic Measurements of the Commercial Laser Powder Bed Fusion Process at NIST

December 5, 2016
Author(s)
Brandon M. Lane, Shawn P. Moylan, Eric P. Whitenton, Li Ma
Measurement of the high-temperature melt pool region in the laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process is a primary focus of researchers to further understand the dynamic physics of the heating, melting, adhesion, and cooling which define this commercially

Infrared measurement of the temperature at the tool-chip interface while machining Ti-6Al-4V

November 29, 2016
Author(s)
Jarred C. Heigel, Eric P. Whitenton, Brandon M. Lane, M A. Donmez, Wilfredo Moscoso-Kingsley, Vis Madhavan
The challenges associated with machining titanium alloys (e.g. Ti-6Al-4V) are directly related to high cutting tool temperatures due to the low thermal conductivity of titanium alloys and the heat generated in the primary shear zone and at the tool-chip
