TY - CONF A1 - Bruno, Giovanni T1 - Starting new adventures at BAM. The focus area projects PROMOAM and AGIL N2 - While additive manufacturing (AM) is blossoming in nearly every industrial field, and the most different process are being used to produce components and materials, little attention is paid on the safety concerns around AM materials and processes. Leveraging on our leading expertise in non-destructive testing (NDT) and materials characterization, we approach AM at BAM under two important viewpoints: first the on-line monitoring of the process and of the product, second the evolution of the (unstable) microstructure of AM materials under external loads. These two subjects are the core of the two new-born internal projects ProMoAM and AGIL, respectively. A detailed view of the goals and the organization of these two projects will be given, together with the expected output, and some preliminary results.

Short fatigue cracks are initiated at defects and pronounced surface roughness intrinsic to AM. The subsequent crack-propagation is strongly influenced by microstructural interactions and the build-up of crack-closure. The aim of the present study is to give an insight into short-crack propagation in AM-metals. Fatigue crack propagation resistance curves were determined experimentally for AISI 316L manufactured by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) which was heat treated at three different temperatures. Differences in the build-up of the fatigue-crack propagation threshold in between the L-PBF specimens and compared to wrought material are due to the residual stress states, a pronounced roughness of the crack-faces in the L-PBF specimens and phase transformation in the vicinity of the crack-tip, resulting in increased crack-closure. This, together with crack-branching found along the crack path, enhances the resistance to the propagation of fatigue cracks.

Hierbei werden die Eigenschaften der Bauteile zu einem großen Teil durch die im Verlauf des Prozesses vorliegenden Temperaturen bestimmt. Dies beinhaltet unter anderem Materialeigenschaften wie Mikrostruktur, Härte, thermische und elektrische Leitfähigkeiten sowie die Ausbildung von Defekten wie z.B. Anbindungsfehler, Keyhole-Porosität (Gaseinschlüsse) oder auch die Ausbildung von Rissen. Zur Überwachung bzw. Vorhersage dieser Eigenschaften sowie zum Abgleich von Simulationen ist eine orts- und zeitaufgelöste Messung der Temperaturverteilung im Prozess daher von herausragender Bedeutung. In der Industrie kommen optische Verfahren, die auf der Messung der thermischen Strahlung basieren, regelmäßig zum Einsatz. Allerdings dienen diese bislang nur der statistischen Auswertung und der Identifikation von Abweichungen vom Normalprozess. Der quantitativen Auswertung zur Temperaturbestimmung stehen aktuell noch eine Vielzahl von Herausforderungen entgegen. Einerseits stellt der Prozess an sich hohe Anforderungen an die Datenerfassung und -auswertung: der Emissionsgrad verändert sich dynamisch im Prozess und lokale Schmauchbildung sorgt für potenzielle Absorption oder Streuung der thermischen Strahlung oder auch des Fertigungslasers. Weiterhin stellt der hochdynamische Prozess hohe Anforderungen an Orts- und Zeitauflösung der eingesetzten Sensorik (z.B. Kameratechnik). Andererseits erschweren an üblichen kommerziell erhältlichen Fertigungsanlagen praktische Hindernisse wie eine eingeschränkte optische Zugänglichkeit und der fehlende Zugriff auf die Anlagensteuerung sowie fehlende Möglichkeiten der Synchronisation der Messtechnik mit dem Prozess eine eingehende Untersuchung dieser Effekte. Um letztere Hindernisse zu umgehen, wurde an der BAM die Forschungsanlage SAMMIE (sensor-based additive manufacturing machine) entwickelt. Einerseits bietet das System alle Möglichkeiten, die auch übliche kommerzielle Systeme bieten. Dies beinhaltet die Fertigung ganzer Bauteile (maximale Größe ca. 65mm x 45 mm x 30 mm) und den Einsatz einer Inertgasatmosphäre inkl. gefiltertem Schutzgasstrom. Andererseits bietet es aber auch einen besonders kompakten Bauraum, um die Sensorik möglichst nah an den Prozess führen zu können, sechs optische Fenster zur Prozessbeobachtung aus unterschiedlichen Winkeln und die Möglichkeit der Prozessbeobachtung koaxial zum Fertigungslaser. Des Weiteren besteht eine einfache Austauschbarkeit aller Fenster, Spiegel und Strahlteiler, um den gesamten optischen Pfad der aktuellen Messaufgabe flexibel anzupassen. Die komplette Anlagensteuerung ist eine Eigenentwicklung und bietet daher auch völlige Anpassbarkeit. Eine synchrone und frei konfigurierbare Triggerung diverser Sensoriken und synchrone Datenerfassung bieten maximale Kontrolle über die Sensorsteuerung. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Fertigungsanlage SAMMIE. Wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse sowie laufende Arbeiten an der Anlage werden in weiteren Beiträgen vorgestellt.

The main advantages are the ability to produce complex components that cannot be produced conventionally or only at great expense, as well as in the production of highly individualized components in small quantities. However, the additive manufacturing process is highly complex and prone to errors. In order to guarantee the quality control required particularly for safety-relevant components, complex downstream nondestructive testing NDT of the individual components is currently necessary. In-situ process monitoring and testing could offer alternatives, but these have not yet reached a sufficient level of functionality. Industrial production facilities offer little or no flexibility and accessibility to enable extensive investigations in this area. For this reason, we developed a system for the powder bed fusion process of metals (PBF-LB/M) called SAMMIE. It offers a completely open system architecture with full control over the process and flexible access to the build chamber, e.g., optically both on-axis and off-axis to the production laser. In this contribution, we present the system and show first experimental results of in-situ monitoring and testing, e.g., high-resolution thermographic melt pool monitoring, multispectral optical tomography, and high-speed videos of the process. SAMMIE enables us to conduct fundamental investigations that will help to further develop in-situ process monitoring and testing, gain new insights into the process, and improve its safety and reliability.

Die Vorteile liegen vor allem in der Möglichkeit der Fertigung komplexer Bauteile, die sich konventionell nicht oder nur sehr aufwändig produzieren lassen, sowie in der Fertigung von hochindividualisierten Bauteilen in kleinen Stückzahlen. Allerdings ist der additive Fertigungsprozess hoch komplex und fehleranfällig. Um eine insbesondere für sicherheitsrelevante Bauteile notwendige Qualitätskontrolle zu gewährleisten, ist aktuell aufwändige nachgelagerte ZfP der einzelnen Bauteile notwendig. Alternativen könnten die In-situ-Prozessüberwachung und -prüfung bieten, die aktuell aber noch keinen ausreichenden Entwicklungsstand erreicht haben. Industrielle Fertigungsanlagen bieten keine oder nur geringe Flexibilität und Zugänglichkeit, um umfangreiche Untersuchungen auf diesem Gebiet zu ermöglichen. Daher haben wir an der BAM ein System für den Prozess des selektiven Laserschmelzens (PBF-LB/M) entwickelt, genannt SAMMIE. Es bietet eine komplett offene Systemarchitektur mit voller Kontrolle über den Prozess und flexiblem Zugang zur Baukammer, z.B. optisch sowohl direkt als auch koaxial zum Fertigungslaser. In diesem Beitrag stellen wir das System vor und zeigen erste experimentelle Ergebnisse der In-situ-Überwachung und -prüfung: Thermografische Schmelzbadüberwachung, optische Tomografie und In-situ-Laserthermografie. SAMMIE ermöglicht uns grundlegende Untersuchungen, die helfen werden, die In-situ-Prozessüberwachung und -prüfung weiterzuentwickeln, neue Erkenntnisse über die additive Fertigung zu gewinnen und die Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit des Prozesses zu verbessern.

Since AM is prone to the formation of defects during the building process, a fundamental requirement for AM is to find ways to assure the safety and reliability of the additively manufactured parts to become applicable in most fields. A possible solution for this problem lies in the deployment of various in-situ monitoring techniques. However, only a few of these techniques are commercially available and are not researched to an extent that allows to guarantee the adherence to strict quality and safety standards. Since commercial AM machines are not designed for research applications, they provide only limited access to the build chamber during the process and little control over the exact timing and parameters of the process. Therefore, for our research at BAM, we built a laser powder bed fusion system (PBF-LB/M), called “Sensor-based Additive Manufacturing MachInE” (SAMMIE). It provides a fully open system architecture with flexible accesses to the build camber and full control of the complete process. In this contribution, we show first results using thermographic cameras and optical tomography. The flexibility of SAMMIE allows us to use the multiple cameras either fixed relatively to the build plate or coaxially to the process laser.

In particular, residual stress (RS) was soon recognized as an important issue in AM parts, such that parts are usually subjected to a post build-heat-treated. Significant effort has been spent on simulations of RS in AM, especially using finite element methods. As a consequence, the experimental determination of RS has thereby become increasingly important as a validation tool for simulations, as well as a method for assessing the influence of process parameters. In particular, diffraction methods, which are fundamentally non-destructive, offer enormous possibilities to gain knowledge on the residual stress state in real components, since synchrotron radiation and neutrons can penetrate even heavy metals up to several millimeters or centimeters, respectively. Indeed, significant progress has been achieved, in the understanding of the origins of the RS fields as a function of process parameters, as well as their stability under thermal and/or mechanical exposure. In this paper, a few success stories will be outlined. It will be shown how the determination of RS in metallic parts (with the focus on those produced by laser powder bed fusion) has even revealed that process parameters that were previously considered unimportant (e.g. the position and orientation on the base plate) play a major role in the onset of residual stress accumulation. However, while RS characterization is starting to be considered in the component design, deposition strategy (e.g. build plate temperature), and even in the definition of the relevant metric to assess the quality of a part, much is still to be investigates about the hypotheses underlying its experimental determination. Therefore, some aspects to be aware of, or even those which to date are unclear, will also be discussed. These include the determination of the stress-free reference and of the principal axes of stress. All of these aspects will lead towards a comprehensive understanding of the process-structure-performance relationships in AM materials and parts.

Many research groups are focussed on improving the LPBF process to achieve the manufacturing of sound parts from a structural integrity perspective. In particular, the formation and distribution of residual stress (RS) remains a critical aspect of LPBF. The determination of the RS in LPBF benefits from the use of neutron diffraction (ND), as it allows the non-destructive mapping of the triaxial RS with a good spatial resolution. Two case studies are presented based on experiments carried out on the angular-dispersive neutron diffractometers Strain Analyser for Large Scale Engineering Applications (SALSA) (Institut Laue Langevin, Grenoble) and STRESS-Spec (FRM II, Garching). The RS in LPBF parts having a rectangular and more complex geometry (lattice structure) is analysed. The former example discusses the mapping of the RS in a rectangular body manufactured from stainless steel 316L. The manufacturing of these parts was monitored using an in-situ thermography set-up to link the RS to the thermal history. The latter discusses the RS in a lattice structure manufactured from the nickel base superalloy IN625. This geometry is challenging to characterise, and the use of a X-ray computed tomography twin is presented as tool to support the alignment of the ND experiment. The results from these case studies show a clear link between the thermal history and the RS magnitudes, as well as giving insights on the RS formation.

This study aims at the characterization of residual stresses in SLM parts by using different measurement techniques. The material used is the nickel based super Alloy 718. Microstructure as well as surface and bulk residual stresses were characterised. For residual stress analysis X-ray, synchrotron and neutron diffraction were applied. The results show different residual stress states dependent on the penetration depth in the sample offered by the different measurement techniques. Samples of Alloy 718 manufactured by SLM process can show high tensile residual stresses in the surface as high as the yield strength of the wrought alloy. Residual stresses in the bulk show considerably lower stress values.

Microstructure as well as the surface and bulk residual stresses were characterized. For the residual stress analysis, X-ray, synchrotron and neutron diffraction methods were used. The measurements were performed at BAM, at the EDDI beamline of -BESSY II synchrotron- and the E3 line -BER II neutron reactor- of the Helmholtz-Zentrum für Materialien und Energie (HZB) Berlin. The results reveal significant differences in the residual stress states for the different characterization techniques employed, which indicates a dependence of the residual state on the penetration depth in the sample. For the surface residual stresses, longitudinal and transverse stress components from both X-ray and synchrotron agree well and the obtained values were around the yield strength of the material. Furthermore, synchrotron mapping disclosed gradients along the width and length of the sample for the longitudinal and transverse stress components. On the other hand, lower residual stresses were found in the bulk of the material measured using neutron diffraction. The longitudinal component was tensile and decreased towards the boundary of the sample. In contrast, the normal component was nearly constant and compressive in nature. The transversal component was almost negligible. The results indicate that a stress re-distribution takes place during the deposition of the consecutive layers. Further investigations are planned to study the phenomenon in detail.

New developments in topology optimization are leading to weight-optimized designs of increasing complexity. Direct energy deposition processes (DED) such as wire and arc-based additive manufacturing are an important method of additive manufacturing. The wire filler metals enable a wide range of materials, while the arc process provides a high deposition rate compared to laser and powder-based processes. Combined with the use of high-strength steels, the thickness of walls or components can be significantly reduced in the context of lightweight construction, which results in significant savings in energy, costs, time and resources. Suitable high-strength steel filler metals are commercially available for DED-arc AM processes. However, guidelines and quantitative knowledge about welding stresses and cold cracking issues during component production and service are lacking. This limits the industrial application considerably. In a joint project of BAM and Chemnitz University of Technology, the main influences and complex interactions of material, production process, design and processing steps on the residual stress level are investigated. The aim is to develop processing recommendations and a cold cracking test for economical processing and stress-related design of high-strength steels with DED-arc. This study focuses on residual stress analysis by neutron diffraction (ND) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) on defined test specimens. The ND analysis were performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute- Villigen, Switzerland (PSI) and the XRD analysis at BAM. The study shows a quantitative and qualitative comparison of the residual stress magnitudes and distribution between the component bulk (ND) and surface (XRD) analyses. The ND analysis reveals that in DED-arc AM walls the residual stresses dominate in the direction of welding and are negligibly small in each case transverse to the direction of welding. The topology of the analyzed residual stresses shows almost identical residual stress maps compared to XRD. In addition, the residual stresses are significantly influenced by the solid phase transformation of the material due to low cooling times and less post heat treatment cycles of following AM layers in the area of the top layer.

Subsequent enhancement in efficiency can be achieved through the utilization of the high-strength structural steels. The fabrication of the intricate geometries possesses challenges in regulating the residual stresses (RS), representing a significant concern in the realm of additive manufacturing (AM). High residual stresses contribute to an increased risk of cold cracking particularly in the welding of the high strength steels arising from complex interactions among the material, process conditions and component design. Reliable residual stress evaluation is vital in the structural integrity assessment of the welded components. Therefore, in the present study, the contour method was used to analyse the full field longitudinal residual stresses in an open hollow cuboid specimen fabricated by DED-arc. In this method, the specimen is cut along a desired plane of interest and the deformation caused by the cut surface is measured using the coordinate measuring machine and an industrial non-contact 3D scanner. A different cutting and restraint methodology was adopted and its influence on the residual stresses was analysed. The results indicate that the maximum tensile residual stresses around 600 MPa occurred in the left wall of the DED-arc structure exactly two layers below from the top. Additionally, the stresses at the bottom layer of the base plate demonstrate tensile in longitudinal direction and the corresponding balancing compressive residual stresses occurred at the top layer of the base plate.

Further advances in efficiency can be achieved through additive manufacturing and bionic design. Commercial high-strength filler materials for wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) are already provided by the consumable producers. Today, application would be strictly limited due to absence of quantitative findings or any guidelines for the industry regarding welding-related stresses and component safety during manufacturing and service. Hence, process- and material-related influences and design-related restraint conditions associated with formation of residual stresses and cold cracking risk are investigated. The aim is the accessibility of special WAAM self-restraining cold cracking tests and easy applicable processing recommendations, enabling an economical, fit-for-purpose and crack-safe WAAM of high-strength steels. This first study focuses on determination of interactions between WAAM process parameters, resulting layer geometry, microstructure and residual stresses, analyzed via X-ray diffraction. Defined reference specimens are automated welded using a special WAAM solid wire (yield strength >820 MPa). Geometric properties can be specifically adjusted by wire feed and welding speed, but cannot be varied arbitrarily, since a high heat input causes local overheating, inadmissible changes of microstructure and mechanical properties, defects and comparable high tensile residual stresses.

Most of these materials require a large amount of energy for extraction and manufacturing, which causes the emission of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Therefore, strategies for improving the sustainability of structural metallic alloys are urgently needed. Additive Manufacturing (AM), in particular Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M), aims to be a sustainable manufacturing process, as it allows the build-up of complex geometry in near net-shape from 3D models, while minimizing material waste and the energy required for the process and post-process treatments. Nevertheless, the application of additively manufactured parts in structural safety-relevant applications is still hindered by the poor fatigue performance. The cause of this has been mainly attributed to the presence of manufacturing defects and surface roughness. Therefore, a huge effort has been made to optimize the process parameters and to introduce post-process treatments to minimize the defect content. However, material flaws cannot be fully eliminated, but these can be considered in a damage tolerance framework for the prediction of the fatigue performance of additively manufactured metallic materials, which is essential for part design and qualification. This work aims at presenting different modelling strategies for the prediction of the fatigue limit of AM metals. Simple empirical models and more complex models based on fatigue short crack propagation are proposed. The investigated material is an AlSi10Mg alloy fabricated by PBF-LB/M and subjected to two different low-temperature heat-treatments (265°C for 1 h and 300°C for 2h). The results show that the models can provide good approximation of the fatigue limits and help in the interpretation of the scatter of fatigue data.

The main methods to inscribe a layer are by binder jetting (also known as powder 3D printing) or by selective laser sintering/melting (SLS/SLM). Powder-based AM processes have found wide application for several metallic, polymeric and also ceramic materials, due to their advantages in combining flexibility, easy upscaling and (often) good material properties of their products. The deposition of homogeneous layers is key to the reproducibility of these processes and has a direct influence on the quality of the final parts. Accordingly, powder properties such as particle size distribution, shape, roughness and process related properties such as powder flowability and packing density need to be carefully evaluated. Due to these requirements, these processes have been so far precluded to find commercial use for certain applications. In the following, two outstanding cases will be presented. A first example is that powder-based AM processes are widely used for many metallic and polymeric materials, but they find no commercial application for most technical ceramics. This seemingly contradicting observation is explained by the fact that in powder based AM, a dry flowable powder needs to be used. The processing of technical ceramics in fact typically requires very fine and poorly flowable powder, which makes them not suitable for the standard processes. There have been several approaches to adapt the raw materials to the process (e.g. by granulation), but in order to maintain the superior properties of technical ceramics it seems necessary to follow the opposite approach and adapt the process to the raw materials instead. This was the motivation for developing the Layerwise Slurry Deposition (LSD), an innovative process for the deposition of powder layers with a high packing density. In the LSD process, a ceramic slurry is deposited to form thin powder layers, rather than using a dry powder. This allows achieving high packing density (55-60%) in the layers after drying. It is also important, that standard ceramic raw materials can be used. When coupled with a printing head or with a laser source, the LSD enables novel AM technologies which are similar to 3D printing or selective laser sintering, but taking advantage of having a highly dense powder bed. The LSD -3D printing, in particular, offers the potential of producing large (> 100 mm) and high quality ceramic parts, with microstructure and properties similar to traditional processing. Moreover, due to the compact powder bed, no support structures are required for fixation of the part in the printing process. Figure 1 shows the schematics of the working principle of the LSD-3D print and illustrates some examples of the resolution and features achievable. The second outstanding case here described is the application of powder-based AM in environments with reduced or zero gravity. The vision is to be able to produce repair parts, tools and other objects during a space mission, such as on the International Space Station (ISS), without the need of delivering such parts from Earth or carrying them during the mission. AM technologies are also envisioned to play an important role even for future missions to bring mankind to colonize other planets, be it on Mars or on the Moon. In this situation, reduced gravity is also experienced (the gravitational acceleration is 0.16 g on the Moon and 0.38 g on Mars). These environments cause the use of AM powder technologies to be very problematic: the powder layers need to be stabilized in order to avoid dispersion of the particles in the chamber. This is impossible for standard AM powder deposition systems, which rely on gravitation to spread the powder. Also in this case, an innovative approach has been implemented to face this technological challenge. The application of a gas flow through a powder has a very strong effect on its flowability, by generating a force on each particle, which is following the gas flow field. This principle can be applied in a simple setup such as the one shown in Figure 2. In this setup, the gas flow causes an average pressure on the powder bed in direction of the arrows, generating a stabilizing effect which acts in the same direction of the gravitational force. This effect can be used in addition to normal gravity on Earth to achieve a better stabilization of 3D printed parts in the powder bed. In this case, even a significant increase of packing density of the powder was measured, compared to the same experimental setup without gas flow. This is due to the fact that the force on each single particle follows the gas flow field, which is guiding the particles to settle between the pores of the powder bed, thus achieving an efficient packing. The same principle can be applied in absence of gravitation, where the gas flow acts to stabilize the powder layers. It has been shown that ceramic powder could be deposited in layers and laser sintered in µ-gravity conditions during a DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt) campaign of parabolic flights, as shown in Figure 2. A follow-up campaign is dedicated to the deposition of metallic (stainless steel) powder in inert atmosphere and to study the effects of laser melting in µ-gravity. In conclusion, the description of these two example cases shows how the development of novel technological processes can address some of the limitations of standard powder-based AM, in order to enable the use of new materials, such as technical ceramics, or to tackle the challenges of AM in space.

Hydrogen transportation systems require pipes, valves and fittings, among other components. In this sense, austenitic stainless steels are commonly used structural materials for pure hydrogen applications. Stable austenitic alloys, like AISI 316L, are often assumed to be practically unsusceptible to hydrogen embrittlement. At the same time, a number of studies show the influence of hydrogen even in 316L under some circumstances. Some other studies state that this embrittlement could be avoided by using steel grades with a higher nickel equivalent which contributes to a more stable austenitic phase. Nonetheless, 316L is widely used in hydrogen atmospheres since many years because of lower costs and positive practical experience. For these reasons, not only 316L but also 304 could be further utilized by identifying the exact constraints. With increasing demand for components regarding hydrogen applications, additive manufacturing technologies are getting increasingly important complementary to conventional manufacturing. In the context of additive manufacturing, 316L is a common material as well. The manufacturing process offers great advantages due to higher freedoms in design and the possibility for customized components in small batches. For example, valves with improved flow characteristics and reduced component weight can be produced. Nevertheless, there is still lack of experience and experimental results concerning additively manufactured parts under hydrogen service. Therefore, the influence on the material properties for additively manufactured parts in hydrogen environments needs to be further investigated. In the present work, slow strain rate testing (SSRT) has been applied using hollow specimens. This testing procedure allows to perform practicable and faster in-situ tests in comparison to tests in autoclaves and investigate the influence of hydrogen on the mechanical properties. Conventional AISI 304 and 316L specimens as well as additively manufactured 316L specimens were tested at room temperature and a pressure of 200 bar. Elongation at fracture and relative reduction of area (RRA) have been used to evaluate the influence of hydrogen. It is shown that the influence of hydrogen is more pronounced in 304 than in 316L. Furthermore, potentially influencing factors such as surface roughness, microstructure and porosity are discussed.

In fact, researchers have discovered that conventional methods for the determination of RS in materials do not properly work for AM materials. In this tutorial, the basics of RS analysis will be explained, together with the basics of AM manufacturing techniques. The microstructure of the peculiar materials (AM) dealt with here will be elucidated. Successively, the necessary modifications to the conventional approaches to RS analysis will be explained and case studies will be displayed, for the attendant to touch with hands the peculiarities of the approaches.

Hierbei dominiert das Laser-Pulverbettschweißen von Metallen (PBF/LB-M) die Fertigung von kleinformatigen Bauteilen mit hoher Oberflächengüte. Die anspruchsvolle und kostspielige Qualitätssicherung stellt aber weiterhin ein Hindernis für eine breitere und kostengünstigere Anwendung der additiven Fertigung dar. Dies resultiert teilweise aus fehlenden zuverlässigen In-situ-Monitoringsystemen. Belastbarere Prozessüberwachungsdaten würden eine oft erforderliche teure nachgelagerte Prüfung mittels Computertomografie entbehrlich machen. Die Aufzeichnung der thermischen Signaturen des Aufbauprozess mittels Thermografie-Kameras zeigen hier vielversprechende Ergebnisse. Eine Korrelation zu auftretender Porosität, Delaminationen und Deformationen scheinen möglich. Die geringe räumliche Auflösung und die hohen Anschaffungskosten für thermografische Kamerasysteme stehen jedoch einer größeren industriellen Nutzung im Wege. Ein bereits industriell angewendeter Ansatz zur in-Situ Überwachung des PBF-LB/M Prozesses ist die Optische Tomografie (OT). Hierbei wird die emittierte Prozessstrahlung jeder Bauteilschicht mittels einer hochauflösenden günstigen Kamera für den sichtbaren Wellenlängenbereich in einer Langzeitbelichtung dokumentiert. Die zeitliche Information der emittierten Strahlung geht hierbei verloren. Der gesamte Bauprozess kann jedoch in einem vergleichsweise kleinen Datensatz dokumentiert werden (ein Bild pro Schicht). Eine direkte Korrelation zu auftretenden Defekten gestaltet sich aufgrund der reduzierten thermischen Informationsdichte jedoch schwierig. In diesem Beitrag soll deshalb das Prinzip der Multispektralen Optischen Tomografie (MOT) vorgestellt und erste Messergebnisse an der Forschungsanlage SAMMIE diskutiert werden. Bei der MOT handelt es sich um eine Übertragung des Prinzips der Quotientenpyrometrie auf das etablierte Verfahren der Optischen Tomografie. Die auftretende Prozessstrahlung wird in mehreren Wellenlängenbereichen ortsaufgelöst über die gesamte Bauplattform erfasst und zeitlich in einer Langzeitbelichtung integriert. Hierbei kommen günstige Kamerasysteme für den sichtbaren Wellenlängenbereich zum Einsatz. Das erfasste Signal I jedes Bildpixels für jeden separat erfassten Wellenlängenbereich kann als Maß für das zeitliche Integral der spezifischen Ausstrahlung M des Schmelzbades in diesem Wellenlängenbereich gesehen werden. Nach dem Stefan-Boltzmann-Gesetz hängt die abgestrahlte thermische Leistung P eines idealen Schwarzen Körpers in der vierten Potenz von dessen absoluten Temperatur T ab. Wird nur, wie z.B. bei der klassischen OT angewendet, der nahinfrarote Wellenlängenbereich betrachtet, lässt sich mit dem Planck’schen Strahlungsgesetz sogar eine Proportionalität zur siebten Potenz der Temperatur zeigen. Deshalb liegt ein starker Einfluss der maximal auftretenden Oberflächentemperatur Tmax auf das erfasste Messsignal vor. Das erfasste Signal I wird aber auch durch die spektrale Transmission τ der verwendeten optischen Komponenten des Kamera-Setups, z.B. Filter und Objektive, durch die spektrale Sensitivität S der verwendeten Kamera-Sensoren und den nur sehr schwer zu bestimmenden Emissionsgrad ε der emittierenden (flüssigen) Oberfläche beeinflusst. In einer ersten Näherung wird das Schmelzbad hier als Graukörper, also ein Körper mit wellenlängenunabhängigem Emissionsgrad ε, betrachtet. Basierend auf dieser Annahme und vermessenen optischen Eigenschaften des verwendeten Systems ist es möglich, eine erste Schätzung der maximalen Oberflächentemperatur Tmax vorzunehmen, selbst ohne genaue Kenntnis des tatsächlichen Emissionsgrades ε. Dies wird durch die Anwendung des Planck‘schen Strahlungsgesetzes und die Quotienten Bildung aus den einzelnen erfassten Signalen I ermöglicht. Auch bei diesem Verfahren geht die zeitliche Information einer Schicht, also das Aufwärm- und Abkühlverhalten des Schmelzbades, verloren. Zudem sind die Messergebnisse in Hinblick auf tatsächlich gemessene „maximal auftretende Oberflächentemperatur“ mit gebotener Zurückhaltung zu interpretieren. Trotzdem konnten erste Ergebnisse bereits zeigen, dass die MOT-Daten auch in Bereichen mit Doppelbelichtungen (das teilweise notwendige mehrfache Scannen eines Bereiches mittels des Fertigungslasers) im Gegensatz zur klassischen OT erwartbare Maximaltemperaturen liefern. Abbildung 1 zeigt das erfasste Messergebnis für drei aufeinanderfolgende Schichten eines Bauteils einmal mit MOT (links) und einmal mit einfacher OT (rechts). Deutlich zu erkennen ist das durch die doppelte Belichtung hohe Signal bei der OT. Die Daten der MOT zeigen hier keine erhöhten Werte. Um die ermittelten Temperaturwerte mittels MOT besser einordnen zu können, sind u.a. vergleichende Messungen an Referenzmaterialien geplant. Um die Auswertung der gemessenen Daten zu verbessern, wird zudem der Zeitverlauf des Abkühlens und Aufheizens des Schmelzbades sowie die Einflüsse von Prozessbeiprodukten wie Schmauch und Spritzer näher untersucht. Auch werden Messungen zum Emissionsgrad ε an additiv gefertigten Proben und Metallschmelzen vorgenommen.

Robust field integration of NMR systems have to face explosion protection or integration into process control systems with short set-up times. This paves the way for industrial automation in real process environments. The design of failsafe, temperature and pressure resistant flow through cells along with their NMR-specific requirements is an essential cornerstone to enter industrial production plants and fulfill explosion safety requirements. Additionally, if fast reactions are monitored, suitable mixing devices need to be placed in close vicinity to the measuring volume to mix the reactants properly. NMR-specific requirements aim at full quantitative pre-magnetization and acquisition with maximum sensitivity while reducing sample transfer times and dwell-times. All parameters are individually dependent on the applied NMR instrument. Luckily, an increasing number of applications are reported together with an increasing variety of commercial equipment. However, these contributions have to be reviewed thoroughly. The performance of sample flow cells commonly used in online analytics and especially for low-field NMR spectroscopy was experimentally and theoretically investigated by 1H-NMR experiments and numerical simulations. Especially, the applicability of 3D printed zirconium dioxide for innovative flow cell designs was of interest. Here, we demonstrate and discuss an automated test method to determine the critical parameters of flow through cells for quantitative online NMR spectroscopy. The setup is based on randomized setpoints of flow rates in order to reduce temperature related effects. Five flow cells and tubing were assessed and compared for high-field as well as low-field NMR spectrometers.

In this process, a laser locally melts feedstock powder to build up a part layer-by-layer. It is this localized processing manner imposing large temperature gradients, resulting in the formation of internal stress and characteristic microstructures. Produced parts inherently contain high levels of residual stress accompanied by columnar grain growth and crystallographic texture. On a smaller scale, the microstructure is characterized by competitive cell-like solidification with micro segregation and dislocation entanglement. In this context, it is crucial to understand the interplay between microstructure, texture, and residual stress to take full advantage of the freedom in design. In fact, X-ray and neutron diffraction are considered as the benchmark for the non-destructive characterization of surface and bulk residual stress. The latter, characterized by a high penetration power in most engineering alloys, allows the use of diffraction angle close to 90°, enabling the employment of a nearly cubic gauge volume. However, the complex hierarchical microstructures produced by additive manufacturing present significant challenges towards the reliable characterization of residual stress by neutron diffraction. Since residual stress is not the direct quantity being measured, the peak shift imposed by the residual stress present in a material must be converted into a macroscopic stress. First, an appropriate lattice plane must be selected that is easily accessible (i.e., high multiplicity) and insensitive to micro strain accumulation. Second, a stress-free reference must be known to calculate a lattice strain, which can be difficult to define for the heterogeneous microstructures produced by additive manufacturing. Third, an appropriate set of diffraction elastic constants that relate the lattice strain to the macroscopic stress must be known. In this presentation, advancements in the field of residual stress analysis using neutron diffraction are presented on the example of the Ni-based superalloy Inconel 718. The effect of the complex microstructure on the determination of residual stress by neutron diffraction is presented. It is shown, how to deal with the determination of the stress-free reference. It is also shown that the selection of an appropriate set of diffraction elastic constants depends on the microstructure. Finally, the role of the crystallographic texture in the determination of the residual stress is shown.

Thus, providing AM parts with a tagging feature that allows identification, like a fingerprint, can be crucial for logistics, certification, and anti-counterfeiting purposes since nearly any geometry can be produced by AM with stolen data or reverse engineering of an original product. However, the mechanical and functional properties of the replicated part may not be identical to the original ones and pose a safety risk [2]. Several methods are already available, which range from encasing a detector to leveraging the stochastic defects of AM parts for the identification, authentication, and traceability of AM components. The most prevailing solution consists of local process manipulation, such as printing a quick response (QR) code [3] or a set of blind holes on the surface of the internal cavity of hollow components. Local manipulation of components may alter the properties. The external tagging features can be altered or even removed by post-processing treatments. Integrating electronic systems [4] in AM parts can be used to identify and authenticate components with complex or customized geometries. However, metal-based AM, especially in powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) techniques, has a strong shielding effect that interferes with the communication between the reader and the transponder. Figure 1: Selection of the few most prominent pores sorted according to decreasing volume that are suitable for tagging and authentication. Our work aims to provide a new methodology for the identification, authentication, and traceability of AM components using microstructural feathers in AM components without altering their properties. Further, we set various benchmark points that can be used in generating the fingerprints for both identification and authentication. This can help digitalize traceability information and tagging features via the link between the physical and cyber worlds through a deeper understanding of the printed object-tag-virtual twin integration.

In the as-solidified condition, IN718 exhibits chemical segregation and the undesired Laves phase, requiring a solution annealing (SA) prior to aging. The material produced by AM does not respond to the established thermal routines in the same way as conventionally produced IN718, and there is still no consensus on which routine yields optimal results. This work aims to provide a fundamental understanding of the heat treatment (HT) response by continuously monitoring the microstructural evolution during SA via time-resolved synchrotron x-ray diffraction, complemented by ex-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The samples were produced by laser powder bed fusion to a geometry of 10x20x90 mm³, from which Ø1x5 mm³ cylindric specimens were extracted. Two different scanning strategies – incremental 67° rotations, Rot, and alternating 0°/67° tracks, Alt – were used, leading to two different as-built conditions. 1-hour SAs were carried out in the beamline ID22 of the ESRF at 50 KeV. Two SA temperatures, SA1 = 1020 °C, and SA2 = 1080 °C were tested for each scanning strategy. Data were processed using the software PDIndexer. In the as-built state, all samples showed typical subgrain columnar cell structures with predominant Nb/Mo segregation and Laves phase at the cell walls, as seen by SEM. The Alt scan induced higher intensity on the Laves peaks than the Rot scan, suggesting a greater content of Laves. Chemical homogenization in the SA was largely achieved during the heating ramp (Fig. 1). SA2 eliminated the Laves peaks just before reaching 1080 °C, and mitigated differences between Rot and Alt samples. On the other hand, SA1 induced the precipitation of the generally detrimental δ phase, also observed by SEM. Furthermore, the Rot scan showed higher δ peak intensities than the Alt scan, indicating a higher content of δ in the latter. No signs of recrystallization were observed in any of the investigated SAs. T2 - FEMS EUROMAT 2023 CY - Frankfurt a.

Especially the experimental validation of complex simulations lacks a suitable measurement technique for temperature distributions at high speeds and spatial resolution. The complicated process physics, specifically the rapidly changing emissivity in and around the meltpool, pose a severe challenge for usual thermographic approaches. Here, we present first results of a hyperspectral measurement approach to reconstruct temperature and emissivity maps during the PBF-LB/M process in a custom manufacturing machine. The camera setup measures the thermal radiation of the process along a line at a rate of 20 kHz, spectrally resolved between 1 µm and 1.6 µm. When the meltpool travels perpendicularly across this line, a typical meltpool can be reconstructed by pointwise fitting for temperature emissivity separation, based on typical spectral emissivities from reference measurements.

BJ and other powder bed technologies (such as powder bed fusion) are amongst the most successful AM techniques, especially for metals and polymers, thanks to their high productivity and scalability. The possibility to use commercially available feedstocks (in the form of powders or granules) makes BJ also attractive for ceramic materials. The application of these techniques to most advanced ceramics has however been difficult so far, because of the limitations in depositing homogeneous layers with fine, typically poorly flowable powders. In this context, the "layerwise slurry deposition" (LSD) was proposed at TU Clausthal (Germany) as a slurry-based deposition of ceramic layers by means of a doctor blade. Combined with layer-by-layer laser sintering of the material, the LSD process was originally demonstrated for the rapid prototyping of silicate ceramics. Due to the difficulties in controlling the microstructure and the defect formation in laser-sintered technical ceramics, the LSD process was later combined with inkjet printing in the LSD-print technology, which has been further developed at BAM (Germany) in the past decade. The LSD-print technology combines the high speed of inkjet printing, typical of BJ, with the possibility of producing a variety of high-quality ceramics with properties comparable to those achieved by traditional processing. Due to the mechanical stability of the powder bed, the process can also be carried out with continuous layer deposition on a rotating platform, which further increases its productivity. This presentation will delve into 10 years of research on the LSD-print of a wide variety of technical ceramics including alumina, silicon carbides and dental ceramics. The discussion highlights how a seemingly small process and feedstock modification (from powders to slurries) has great influence on the challenges and potential of this process, which are being addressed on its path to industrialization.

A slurry with small organic content is repetitively spread as thin layers on top of each other by means of a doctor blade. During the deposition, the ceramic particles settle to form thin layers with a high packing density (55-60%). Each layer is then dried, resulting in the stacking of a dry powder bed with high powder packing. When coupled with a printing head or with a laser source, the LSD enables novel AM technologies inspired to the 3D printing or selective laser sintering, but taking advantage of having a highly dense powder bed. The LSD -3D printing, in particular, offers the potential of producing large (> 100 mm) and high quality ceramic parts, with microstructure and properties similar to traditional processing. This presentation will give an overview of the milestones in the development of this technology, with focus on the latest results applied both to silicate and to technical ceramics.

This seemingly contradicting observation is explained by the fact that in powder based AM, a dry flowable powder needs to be used. Technical ceramics powders are in fact typically very fine and poorly flowable, which makes them not suitable for AM. The layerwise slurry deposition (LSD) is an innovative process for the deposition of powder layers with a high packing density for powder based AM. In the LSD process, a ceramic slurry is deposited to form thin powder layers, rather than using a dry powder This allows the use of fine powders and achieves high packing density (55-60%) in the layers after drying.

However, to achieve broad industrial application as AM technology, more data and knowledge about the fabricated materials regarding the achieved properties and their relationship to the manufacturing process and the resulting microstructure is still needed. In this work, we present data regarding the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of Ti-6Al-4V. The material was fabricated using an optimized DED-L process. It features a low defect population and excellent tensile properties. To assess its LCF behavior two conventionally manufactured variants of the same alloy featuring different microstructures were additionally tested. The strain-controlled LCF tests were carried out in fully reversed mode with 0.3 % to 1.0 % axial strain amplitude from room temperature up to 400°C. The LCF behavior and failure mechanisms are described. For characterization, optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and micro-computed tomography (µCT) were used. The low defect population allows for a better understanding of the intrinsic material’s properties and enables a fairer comparison against the conventional variants. The fatigue lifetimes of the DED-L material are nearly independent of the test temperature. At elevated test temperatures, they are similar or higher than the lifetimes of the conventional counterparts. At room temperature, they are only surpassed by the lifetimes of one of them. The principal failure mechanism involves multiple crack initiation sites.

Within the scope of the presented investigations, a characterization of the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V in the low cycle fatigue regime was carried out in the range of 0.3 to 1.0 % strain amplitude at room temperature, 250°C and 400°C. The Ti-6Al-4V specimens are machined out of lean cylindrical rods, which were fabricated using powder laser metal deposition (LMD) with an improved build-up strategy. The improved strategy incorporates variable track overlap ratios to achieve a constant growth in the shell and core area. The low-cycle-fatigue behavior is described based on cyclic deformation curves and strain-based fatigue life curves. The lifetimes are fitted based on the Manson-Coffin-Basquin relationship. A characterization of the microstructure and the Lack-of-Fusion (LoF)-defect-structure in the as-built state is performed using optical light microscopy and high-resolution computed tomography (CT) respectively. The failure mechanism under loading is described in terms of LoF-defects-evolution and crack growth mechanism based on an interrupted LCF test with selected test parameters. After failure, scanning electron microscopy, digital and optical light microscopy and CT are used to describe the failure mechanisms both in the longitudinal direction and in the cross section of the specimens. The fatigue lives obtained are comparable with results from previous related studies and are shorter than those of traditionally manufactured (wrought) Ti-6Al-4V. In this study new experimental data and understanding of the mechanical behavior under application-relevant loading conditions (high temperature, cyclic plasticity) is gained. Furthermore, a better understanding of the role of LoFdefects and AM-typical microstructural features on the failure mechanism of LMD Ti-6Al-4V is achieved.
