This work introduces a digital provenance framework for PBF-LB/M, showcased through the EOS M 300–4 multi-laser machine. An Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) pipeline autonomously captures machine data, including scan vectors as well as process signals, and organizes them into a Digital Shadow (DS). The DS is further extended by external data sources, such as Melt Pool Monitoring (MPM), to enable comprehensive analysis and root cause identification. This approach ensures continuous data representation and facilitates the development of new quality metrics. Moreover, the framework enhances quality assurance and traceability, supports compliance with industry standards, and improves productivity. It also enables more precise cost calculations and predictive maintenance. By addressing these challenges, the framework is essential for advancing PBF-LB/M in industrial applications, achieving greater consistency and scalability in production.

Understanding this phenomenon is crucial in view of safety issues when impacts of fast rotating machine components (i.e. aircraft turbine blades) may occur. Our contribution addresses both the experimental evidence and characterization of ASBs due to high-speed impact tests at the Split HOPKINSON pressure bar (SHPB) setup and the finite element analysis to determine the parameters of the underlying constitutive model, which is closely related to JOHNSON-COOK (JC) material model. Experimental investigations were performed on notched shear specimens made of the fine -grained structural steel S690QL and the displacements in the regions affected by shear localization were measured with subset-based local Digital Image Correlation (DIC). The displacement fields, obtained in the SHPB tests, were considered as an objective to validate and to identify the constitutive parameters with. The JC model could reasonably reproduce the displacement distribution. In order to overcome the issues with mesh dependency we provide a nonlocal extension based on the implicit gradient model approach.

However, producing these complex geometries through traditional methods is challenging. Additive manufacturing presents a promising alternative, though the numerical understanding of material behavior under extreme cryogenic conditions remains limited. This study advances the numerical simulation of deformation-induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) in additively manufactured fused filament fabricated (FFF) 316L stainless steel. Central to this effort is the prediction of tensile behavior at temperatures ranging from ambient down to 4K. Supporting experiments—including tensile tests and microstructural characterization via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and computed tomography (CT)—provide essential input parameters and validation data for the numerical framework. The numerical modelling in this study is based on a nonlinear, temperature-dependent finite element approach incorporating a newly developed constitutive material law. This law couples a phase-kinetic description of the martensitic transformation with a mixed kinematic/isotropic plastic hardening formulation. By solving the underlying conservation laws and boundary conditions while considering temperature-dependent material parameters, the model provides a realistic representation of stress-strain states and evolving martensitic phase fractions across a wide range of thermal conditions. The implementation within a commercial finite element software relies on user-defined subroutines that integrate the constitutive relations and transformation kinetics. The simulations use adaptive time-stepping and iterative strategies to handle highly nonlinear, cryogenic loading scenarios efficiently. After parameter identification through experimental data, the numerical results are systematically compared with measured values from tensile tests and microstructural analyses. This iterative validation process continuously enhances the predictive capability of the model. By merging advanced material-theoretical concepts with robust numerical methods, the presented framework offers deeper insight into the mechanical behavior of additively manufactured austenitic steels under extreme thermal conditions. Ultimately, it supports the targeted design and optimization of cryogenic lightweight components and contributes to the fundamental understanding of material modeling challenges in applied mechanics.

Depositing of materials into machined damage volumes in decent quality can restore the performance of refurbished parts and extend their working life. Furthermore, repair counts as resource-efficient and green process in a world targeting at decarbonization of many industrial sectors. Despite the advantages, cold spray repair still suffers from major limitations which prevent its application in safety relevant parts. The main factors influencing the structural integrity concern the adhesion strength, inherent non-bonded internal interfaces, the reduced ductility by work hardening during the manufacturing process, and the presence of residual stresses. This work presents the results of the collaborative project CORE devoted to the development of automatized repair of aerospace parts by cold spray. The investigations considered the aluminum alloy Al6061-T6 which combines medium-high strength, good workability, and high corrosion resistance. Quasi-static tensile tests, high cycle fatigue and fatigue crack propagation tests were performed to compare the performance of base and repaired materials. These were complemented by fractographic and microstructural investigations.

N2 - Repair by cold-spray is a promising alternative to the costly replacement of flawed components in aerospace applications. In the present work this process was investigated on the high-strength aluminum alloy Al6061-T6. For the cold-spray process, inexpensive Nitrogen was used as process-gas. Quasi-static tensile and highcycle- fatigue tests (HCF) were performed, focusing on in-situ shot peening to improve the mechanical properties of the repaired part. An improved adhesion between substrate and built-up material was identified as a key-factor for the applicability of the process. Under this respect laser-structuring of the substrate surface was applied and its effect on the mechanical performance of the restored samples were examined by adhesion tests. T2 - 9.

An alternative approach is repairing using gas dynamic cold spraying: metal particles are shot at a surface at supersonic speeds to selectively rebuild damaged material. Compared to other material-deposition techniques, its advantage is the small thermal impact on the component, preserving its mechanical properties. Component-repair can save considerable amounts of energy and resources. However, its industrial application at large scale needs reproducible, good repair-material properties to guarantee a safe component life. The aim of this project is the development of safe, automatized repair-procedures considering the mechanical fatigue properties of the repair.

Typically, in the search for the optimal parameter set, the volumetric energy density (VED) used to melt the material serves as an adjustment variable, while the resulting part density as the target parameter. Although this approach effectively reduces the process parameters search-space, additional criteria concerning part quality should be considered in the development. This paper introduces a systematic parameter selection approach, refining the characterization process for processing the nickel-based superalloy Haynes® 282®. The presented strategy not only incorporates the density as target condition but also considers the surface quality and dimensional accuracy of the manufactured samples, crucial for near-net-shape manufacturing. Additionally, three porosity measurement methods (Archimedes method, microscopy, gaspycnometry) for AM metal parts are compared, and their validity for this purpose is discussed.

However, the mechanical performance of additively manufactured parts can be compromised by the presence of microstructural inhomogeneities. To address this issue, a reliable process monitoring tool is required to detect these flaws and improve part quality. Eddy current testing presents a promising solution for such monitoring. However, the high temperature gradients within the manufactured specimen affect the electrical conductivity of the material, which, in turn, influences the eddy current testing performance. Therefore, accurately predicting the temperature distribution is essential for reliable flaw detection, which is the focus of this work. In this study, a Finite Element (FE) transient thermal model is developed to predict the temperature field in multipart build jobs. In this model, scan vectors are grouped into clusters based on their timestamps, enabling the homogenization of thermal loads from multiple scan vectors. When a single cluster is used, the thermal load is applied to the entire layer in a single step. Increasing the number of clusters per layer — and thus the number of steps — enhances the accuracy of temperature predictions. This approach allows for optimizing the trade-off between modeling accuracy and computational efficiency. The study evaluates the prediction accuracy required for eddy current testing and investigates the optimal number of clusters (i.e., the adequate level of homogenization) needed to achieve this accuracy. The model predictions are validated through comparison with thermography images and thermocouple measurements. Finally, the concept of eddy current testing with simulation-based temperature compensation is evaluated on specimens with simple geometries.

Particularly in the case of large-volume components that also include filigree or complex structures, it makes sense to divide the overall part into individual elements, which afterwards have to be joined by welding. The following research represents a first step in fundamentally investigating and characterizing the joint welding of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) components made of Inconel 718. For this purpose, bead-on-plate welds were performed on plates manufactured using the L-PBF process and compared with the conventionally manufactured material. Conventional laser beam welding was used as welding process. The weld geometry was investigated as a function of the L-PBF build-up orientation. It was found that the welding depth and weld geometry differ depending on this orientation and in comparison to the conventional material.

Automatic analysis of after-recoating images using machine learning algorithms enables the detection of process deviations to reduce scrap production. However, current industrial monitoring systems for PBF-LB/M are limited by low image resolution. While higher resolutions enable the system’s ability to capture smaller features, they increase storage and computational demand. Edge devices offer a solution by enabling near-real-time, on-premises image analysis within the machine and company network. In this study, high-resolution after-recoating images, captured with a spatial resolution of 17 µm/pixel and an image size of 9344 x 7000 pixels, were processed on an Nvidia Jetson Orin NX16 edge device. The images were downscaled, and anomaly detection algorithms were used to identify regions of interest for segmentation and classification at full resolution. To address computational constraints, state-of-the-art anomaly detection algorithms were evaluated and an appropriate downscaling factor for the on-edge implementation was determined. The EfficientAD algorithm achieved promising results, detecting anomalies within an inference time of less than 10 seconds. The presented framework enables anomaly detection with a maximum delay of one layer. This lays the foundation for the future development of near-real-time intervention in the PBF-LB/M process.

However, manufacturing these components using traditional methods is challenging due to their complex geometries. Additive manufacturing emerges as a promising solution, though a comprehensive understanding of the associated material behavior under extrem e conditions is still developing. This study aims to explore the deformation induced martensitic transformation (DIMT) in fused filament fabricated (FFF) 316L stainless steel through both experimental testing and numerical simulation. The research focuses on predicting the material’s respo nse under tensile stress at ambient, 77K, and 4K temperatures. Numerical simulations employ a finite element approach to incorporate the constitutive model and its temperature dependent phase transformation kinetics, enabling detailed investigation of stress and strain distributions at various cryogenic temperatures. These simulations are systematically calibrated and validated against corresponding experimental datasets, ensuring that the computational predictions mirror the observed microstructural evolution and macroscopic response under tensile loading. By comparin g simulation results to experimental findings obtained at temperatures from room temperature down to 4K, the reliability of the model can be assessed, and its predictive capabilities can be refined. Ultimately, the research seeks to expand the understanding of DIMT in additively manufactured 316L components, supporting the development of advanced, simulation driven material models tailored for demanding cryogenic structural applications.

Density cubes manufactured with varied process parameters exhibit distinguishable surface structures visible to the human eye. Industrial visual in-situ monitoring systems for PBF-LB/M currently have limited resolution and are incapable of reliably capturing differences in the surface structures. For this work, a 65 MPixel high resolution monochrome camera is integrated in an industrial PBF-LB/M machine together with a high intensity led bar. Post-exposure images are taken to analyze differences in light reflection on the specimen’s surface. The grey level co-occurrence matrix is used to quantify the in-situ measured visual surface structure of nickel-based super alloy IN939 density cubes. The properties of the grey level co-occurrence matrix correlate to the energy input and resulting porosity of specimens. Low energy samples with lack of fusion flaws show an increased contrast in the grey level co-occurrence matrix compared to specimens with an optimal energy input. The potential of high-resolution images as reference data in in-situ process monitoring in PBF-LB/M is discussed.

The knowledge of how process parameters and post-process treatments influence the material properties and therefore the structural integrity of additively manufactured metallic components is of paramount importance. With respect to this, one of the unsolved problems related to the unique AM process is the reliability of witness samples for part qualification. Focusing on the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB/M) process, the microstructure and therefore the mechanical performance of test coupons are not representative of parts of the same material in every case. This work summarizes part of the results of an ongoing cooperation between BAM and BASF, which aims at addressing this issue by designing dedicated specimens, representative of the fatigue properties of the real component. The considered case study consisted in the fabrication and characterization of the fatigue properties of a pressure vessel made of AISI 316L. The first phase of the project was devoted to the process monitoring to understand the relationship between process parameters and temperature distribution during the fabrication of the component. Finite element models were tuned on the experimental data from the process monitoring and simulations of the temperature field in the component were conducted. The numerical results were in good agreement with the temperature profiles measured during the fabrication of the component. The second phase dealt with the evaluation of the fatigue and fatigue crack propagation properties on specimens extracted from different regions of the pressure vessel. The experimental investigations showed significant differences in hoop and longitudinal direction. A clear dependence of the fatigue properties on heat accumulation (temperature distribution) and defect size was pointed out. The third phase encompassed the fabrication and testing of the representative specimens. Numerical simulations were used to design specimens displaying the same temperature profile as in the most critical region of the component. The fatigue testing of the representative specimens is subject of ongoing work. T2 - 8.

The large number of influencing factors poses a further challenge in understanding the correlation between material properties, process parameters and component geometry. Therefore, the qualification of components based on witness specimens produced within the same job is questionable. This work aims to present a new strategy for the characterization of PBF-LB/M components based on representative specimens. The key assumption is the feasibility of a transfer of the thermal history from a component to a specimen. It is assumed that similar material properties are determined for components and specimens produced adopting a similar thermal history. After the definition of a region of interest in the component, a combination of thermal analyses by means of finite elements and in-situ experimental determination of the thermal history through infrared thermography is used to produce test coupons with a similar thermal history. The effectiveness of the procedure is demonstrated on a pressure vessel for applications in the chemical industry.

Numerous influencing factors including the component’s geometry contribute to the risk of process instability and resulting inhomogeneity of properties. This drastically limits the comparability of different built parts and requires expensive full component testing. The thermal history as the spatiotemporal temperature distribution has been identified as a major cause for flaw formation. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that a similar thermal history between components and test specimens enhances their comparability. Following this assumption, a strategy is developed to transfer the intrinsic preheating temperature as a measure of comparability of thermal histories from a region of interest of a complex component to a simple test specimen. This transfer concept has been successfully proved by the use of FEM-based macroscale thermal simulations, validated by calibrated infrared thermography. An adoption of the specimen manufacturing process by the adjustment of the inter layer times was established to manufacture specimens which are representatives of a specific region of a large-scale component in terms of the thermal history similarity criterion. The concept is schematically illustrated in Figure 1 and was demonstrated using a pressure vessel geometry from the chemical industry.

Powder bed fusion of metals by laser beam (PBF-LB/M) combines the freedom in design with high achievable accuracy, making it ideal as a repair approach. However, there are still challenges in adapting process for repair applications. When mounting parts inside PBF-LB/M machines, their real position within the build volume is unknown. One goal of a repair process is to minimize the offset between the base component and the additively manufactured structure to reduce additional rework. For a minimum offset between component and additively manufactured structure, the actual position of the component has to be identified with high precision within the machine coordinate system (MCS). In this work a process setup is presented that allows the actual position of a gas turbine blade to be detected inside a PBF-LB/M machine. A high resolution camera with 65 megapixel is used for this purpose. The presented setup is implemented on a SLM 280 HL PBF-LB/M machine. In addition to the setup, a novel repair workflow using PBF-LB/M is presented. The developed setup and workflow consider inaccuracies in the component and camera mounting, as well as process inaccuracies. This includes keystone distortion correction by homography. The machine setup and workflow are used to repair a real gas turbine blade. Subsequently the offset between the turbine blade and the additivley manufactured structure is validated by 3D scanning the repaired part. The maximum offset is 160 µm. The presented approach can be extended to other geometries and PBF-LB/M machine manufacturers. The high-resolution camera approach is platform independent, which facilates the market penetration of PBF-LB/M repair processes.

Hybrid approaches combine at least two different manufacturing processes. The focus of this work is the build-up of geometries onto conventionally manufactured parts using Powder Bed Fusion with Laser Beam of Metals (PBF-LB/M). The hybrid build-up requires a precise position detection system inside the PBF-LB/M machines to determine the exact position of the existing component. For this purpose, high-resolution camera systems can be utilized. However, the use of a camera system is associated with several challenges. The captured images are subject to various distortions of the optical path. Due to these distortions, it is not possible to use the images for measurements and, therefore, it is not possible to calculate the positions of objects. In this study a homography matrix is calculated to correct keystone distortion in the images. Different calibration patterns have been tested for the calculation of the homography matrix. The influence of the number of calibration points on the precision of position detection of objects is determined. Furthermore, the influence of an additional camera calibration by using ChArUco boards is evaluated. The result is a camera calibration workflow with associated calibration pattern for a precise position detection of parts inside PBF-LB/M machines allowing a hybrid build-up with minimum physical offset between base component and build-up.
