T1 - Thermally Sprayed Al2O3 Ceramic Coatings for Electrical Insulation Applications N2 - Thermal spraying enables a fast and propelling way to additively deposit various ceramics as electric insulators, which are used in conditions where polymers are not suitable. Alumina (Al2O3) is among the most employed materials in the coating industry since it exhibits good dielectric properties, high hardness, high melting point while still being cost-effective. Various parameters (e.g. feedstock type, plasma gas mixture, plasma power) significantly influence the resulting coating in terms of microstructure, porosity, crystallinity, and degree of un-or molten particles. As a consequence, these parameters need to be investigated to estimate the impact on the electrical insulating properties of thermally sprayed alumina. This study focuses on the development of a novel electric insulation coating from Al2O3 feedstock powders deposited via atmospheric plasma spray (APS). The microstructure, porosity, and corresponding crystallographic phases have been analyzed with optical microscopy, XRD, and SEM images. To achieve an understanding of the parameters influencing the electrical insulation performance of the manufactured coatings, an in-depth analysis of the fundamental dielectric parameters e.g., DC resistance, breakdown strength, dielectric loss tangent, permittivity is presented.

T1 - Multiple-wire submerged arc welding of high-strength fine-grained steels N2 - Ensuring the required mechanical-technological properties of welds is a critical issue in the application of multi-wire submerged arc welding processes for welding high-strength fine-grained steels. Excessive heat input is one of the main causes for microstructural zones with deteriorated mechanical properties of the welded joint, such as a reduced notched impact strength and a lower structural robustness. A process variant is proposed which reduces the weld volume as well as the heat input by adjusting the welding wire configuration as well as the energetic parameters of the arcs, while retaining the advantages of multiwire submerged arc welding such as high process stability and production speed.

The LPBF process is characterized by a large number of influencing factors which can be hard to quantify. Machine Learning (ML) is a prominent tool to predict the outcome of complex processes on the basis of different sensor data. In this study, a ML model for defect prediction is created using thermographic image features as input data. As a reference, the porosity information calculated from an x-ray Micro Computed Tomography (µCT) scan of the produced specimen is used. Physical knowledge about the keyhole pore formation is incorporated into the model to increase the prediction accuracy. From the prediction result, the quality of the input data is evaluated and future demands on in-situ monitoring of LPBF processes are formulated.

A possible solution could be the deployment of in-situ monitoring during the build process. However, for laser powder bed fusion using metal powders (PBF-LB/M ) only a few in-situ monitoring techniques are commercially available (optical tomography, melt pool monitoring) but not researched to an extent that allows to guarantee the adherence to strict quality and safety standards. In this contribution, we present results of a study of PBF-LB/M printed parts made of the nickel-based superalloy Haynes 282. The formation of defects was provoked by local variations of the process parameters and monitored by thermography, optical tomography and melt pool monitoring. Afterwards, the defects were characterized by computed tomography (CT) to identify the detection limits of the used in-situ techniques.

It is crucial to understand how the material behaves during the AM process to advance industrial use of these techniques. An analytical model based on reaction-diffusion formalism is developed to better explain the solidification behavior of the material during laser metal deposition (LMD). The well-known Scheil-Gulliver theory has some drawbacks, such as the assumption of equilibrium at the solid-liquid interface, which is addressed by this method. The solidified fractions under the Scheil model and the pure equilibrium model are calculated using CALPHAD simulations. Differential scanning calorimeter is used to measure the heat flow during the solid-liquid phase transformation, the result of which is further converted to solidified fractions. The analytical model is compared with all the other models for validation.

A combined experimental and numerical approach is utilized to study the influence of the bulge on the hot cracking formation and the transport of alloying elements in the molten pool. A technique using a quartz glass, a direct-diode laser illumination, a high-speed camera, and two thermal imaging cameras is applied to visualize the weld pool geometry in the longitudinal section. The study examines the relevance of the bulging effect on both, partial and complete penetration, as well as for different sheet thicknesses ranging from 8 mm to 25 mm. The numerical analysis shows that the formation of a bulge region is highly dependent on the penetration depth and occurs above 10 mm penetration depth. The location of the bulge correlates strongly with the cracking location. The obtained experimental and numerical results reveal that the bulging effect increases the hot cracking susceptibility and limits the transfer of alloying elements from the top of the weld pool to the weld root.

For instance, HIP post-processing is recommended to improve fatigue resistance of Laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) manufactured parts [1, 2]. Even though HIP cannot completely remove porosity, it significantly decreases the defect population and its average size below the critical threshold value leading to early crack initiation. In the present study, in-situ investigation of HIP procedure of PBF-LB Ti-6Al-4V parts was carried out to gain further insights into the densification mechanism occurring during HIP. The in-situ observations at high pressure and high temperature are uniquely possible at the PSICHE beamline of the Soleil synchrotron (France), thanks to the Ultrafast Tomography on a Paris-Edinburgh Cell (UToPEC) and the combination of the fast phase-contrast tomography and energy-dispersive diffraction [3, 4]. A detailed methodology was developed to ensure that the correct pressure and temperature were maintained during the experiments. The results allowed an estimation of the global dentification rate during HIP of PBF-LB Ti-Al-4V material, as well as a detailed quantitative characterization of the influence of pore size and shape on the densification process, thereby understanding the effectiveness of HIP process on different pore categories. After 20 mins, 75% of porosity can be considered as closed or has size below the resolution of the XCT reconstruction. We also observed that the smallest defects showed higher densification rate, while the defect shape did not have significant effect on such rate. The current development of in-situ HIP experiment allows experimental quantification and validation of the simulation work. Ultimately it paves the road to tailoring the HIP procedure for different materials depending on the porosity and microstructure.

The system technology of Powder Bed Fusion with Laser beam of Metals (PBF-LB/M) reached a level of high performance in terms of process stability and material spectrum in the past years. However, the digital process chain, starting from CAD via CAM and plant-specific compila-tion of the manufacturing file exhibits media disruptions. The consequence is a loss of metadata. A uniform data scheme of simulation for Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), the PBF-LB/M process itself and quality assurance is currently not realized within industry. There is no entity in the common data flows of the process chains, that enables the integration of these functionalities. As part of the creation of a digital quality infrastructure in the QI-Digital pro-ject, an integration of the CAD/CAM chain is being established. The outcome is a file in an advanced commercially available format which includes all simula-tions and manufacturing instructions. The information depth of this file extends to the level of the scan vectors and allows the automatic optimization and holis-tic documentation. In addition, the KPI for the economic analysis are generated by compressing information into a unique file combined with the application of a digital twin. The implementation and advantages of this solution are demon-strated in a case study on a multi-laser PBF-LB/M system. A build job contain-ing a challenging geometry is thermally simulated, optimized, and manufac-tured. To verify its suitability for an Additive Manufacturing Service Platform (AMSP), the identical production file is transferred to a PBF-LB/M system of another manufacturer. Finally, the achieved quality level of the build job is evaluated via 3D scanning. This evaluation is carried out in the identical entity of the production file to highlight the versatility of this format and to integrate quality assurance data.

The Direct Energy Deposition-Arc process enables relatively high deposition rates, which is favourable for larger components. For this study, specimens with different orientations were prepared from one AISI316 steel block – parallel and orthogonal to the deposition plane. Quasistatic tensile loading tests were carried out, monitored by an infrared camera. The obtained surface temperature maps revealed structural differences between both orientations. The consideration of surface temperature transients yields more details about the behaviour of the material under tensile loading than the conventional stress-strain-curve. These preliminary investigations were supplemented by thermographic fatigue trials. Although the anisotropy was also observed during fatigue loading the fatigue behaviour in general was the same, at least for both inspected specimens. The presented results demonstrate the abilities and the potential of thermographic techniques for tensile tests.

Part 2: Numerical Simulation N2 - Structural components of superconducting magnets (e.g., collars, bladders, or keys) with complex shapes, operating at cryogenic temperatures (4K, 77K), as well as additional elements of tanks for storing liquid hydrogen (20K), such as hoses and valves, are made of austenitic steel. With conventional manufacturing technologies, complex geometries are difficult to manufacture. In contrast, additive manufacturing offers the possibility of easier production of complex geometries, although the knowledge about the material behavior is not yet comprehensively available. The scientific objective of the project is the experimental identification and numerical simulation of the evolution of the deformation-induced martensitic transformation and the prediction of the material behavior of Fused Filemant Fabricated (FFF) 316L for cryogenic applications. The material behavior of FFF-316L under tensile stress at both room temperature and 77K was characterized. Utilizing experimental data and microstructure analysis through scanning electron microscopy, a comprehensive material model [1] was used. This constitutive model is centered on the deformation-induced martensitic transformation at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures. The linear kinetic law of evolution of deformation-induced phase transformation in ASS is adopted [1]. It posits that the phase transformation is driven by the accumulated plastic strain. The model intricately links the intensity of plastic deformation to the phase transformation, employing a mixed kinematic/isotropic linear plastic hardening approach based on Mori-Tanaka homogenization. A numerical results will be verified experimentaly at room and at 77K.

T1 - Evaluation of electric conductivity and mechanical load capacity of copper deposits for application in large winding components for electrical high-voltage machines made with cold spray additive manufacturing N2 - In line with the industrial trend of additive manufacturing, cold spray as a non-laser-based process is becoming increasingly important for many fields of application. For the evaluation of additive manufacturing of winding components made of copper for large electrical high-voltage machines, material and component properties such as electrical conductivity, mechanical load capacity and the component size that can be produced are of particular importance. In this context, the cold spray process offers advantages over laser-based additive manufacturing processes such as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) or laser cladding by using the kinetic energy of the copper powder particles to generate particle cohesion. To investigate the electrical conductivity as well as the mechanical load capacity of cold spray parts, specimens were machined out of cold sprayed bulk copper deposits. The characteristic values were obtained with regard to the direction of deposition, which is defined by the direction of the robot’s movement. Thus, for the investigation of the component properties, specimens were provided that had been produced both longitudinally and transversely as well as orthogonally to the direction of deposition. The results of the investigations show that both the electrical conductivity and the mechanical load capacity of the specimen have a strong preferential direction of the specimen orientation with respect to the direction of deposition. Furthermore, it could be shown that by increasing the deposition height, there is an increasing oxygen content in the sample material, combined with increasingly significant defect networks. These effects have a negative impact on the electrical conductivity as well as on the mechanical load capacity. As a conclusion, further need for investigation is identified in the optimization of the process parameters as well as in the deposition strategy for the additive manufacturing of large-volume components with cold spray.

The results of the investigations show that both the electrical conductivity and the mechanical load capacity of the specimen have a strong preferential direction of the specimen orientation with respect to the direction of deposition. Furthermore, it could be shown that by increasing the deposition height, there is an increasing oxygen content in the sample material, combined with increasingly significant defect networks. These effects have a negative impact on the electrical conductivity as well as on the mechanical load capacity. As a conclusion, further need for investigation is identified in the optimization of the process parameters as well as in the deposition strategy for the additive manufacturing of large-volume components with cold spray.

However, the high thermal gradients and rapid cooling rates intrinsic to this process introduce significant process-induced effects, such as inhomogeneities, surface roughness, anisotropy, and residual stress, all of which critically influence the fatigue behavior of the produced parts. This study investigates the fatigue performance of AlSi10Mg samples produced by PBF-LB, examining the impact of varying surface conditions, geometries, and residual stress levels. Fatigue life prediction models are formulated based on nominal stress amplitude, residual stress, notch factor, crackinitiating inhomogeneity, and surface roughness, with smooth samples serving as a baseline reference. The study presents two empirical models for predicting fatigue life and fatigue strength using S-N curves and the Kitagawa-Takahashi diagram with the El Haddad approach, derived from comprehensive experimental data, including finite element modelling, fatigue life measurements, surface roughness evaluations, and residual stress analysis.

Cold spray repair is a promising and cost-saving alternative to replacing worn parts. Depositing materials in decent quality fill machined damage volumes can enhance the performance of refurbished parts and extend their working life. Furthermore, repair represents a resource-efficient and green process in a world targeting at decarbonization of many industrial sectors. Component repair consists of a defined sequence of operations. First, damage is removed by machining, then new material is applied by cold spray on the machined substrate. Usually, the original functional shape of the component is restored by machining. Post-spraying heat treatments can be applied where required. Despite the advantages, cold spray repair still suffers from major limitations which prevent its application in safety relevant parts. The main challenges are posed by the poor adhesion strength, the porosity inherent in the manufacturing process, the reduced ductility and the presence of residual stresses. This work presents recent results obtained in the frame of the cluster project CORE devoted to the development of automatized repair of aerospace parts by cold spray. The investigations consider high-strength aluminum alloys typically used in structural applications in the aerospace industry. As the fatigue properties are crucial to the safe application of repaired components, and given the presence of process-induced defects, a damage tolerant framework is peculiarly suitable for the structural integrity assessment of repaired commponents and give an indication of the permissible defects to optimize the parameters of the cold spray process. Several high cycle fatigue and fatigue crack propagation tests have been performed to compare the fatigue performance of base and repaired materials. The mechanical tests are corroborated by fractographic and microstructural investigations.

One key finding is particularly noteworthy: in significant contrast to cold-rolled 316L, FFF316L develops a pronounced martensite phase after fabrication. The comprehensive comparative analysis shows that FFF316L not only retains the ferrite volume content, but that this is also significantly influenced by the build-up direction. Despite the sintering process, which typically involves densification of the material, a pore volume fraction of 8.45 % remains, which influences the mechanical properties. Although FFF316L has lower elastic modulus and tensile strength values compared to cold-rolled 316L, its ductility is still competitive. The study further reveals that deformation-induced martensite forms at the intersections of the deformation twins and ferrite islands form at the grain boundaries during the compression and sintering phases. These findings highlight the challenges associated with FFF316L in specific application fields and signal the need to continue to carefully evaluate and improve the development of manufacturing technologies.

Part 1: Experimental Results N2 - Structural components of superconducting magnets (e.g., collars, bladders, or keys) with complex shapes, operating at cryogenic temperatures (4K, 77K), as well as additional elements of tanks for storing liquid hydrogen (20K), such as hoses and valves, are made of austenitic steel. It is well known that achieving a complex shape for these elements using traditional machining methods is challenging. A viable solution lies in using additive manufacturing methods (AM), notably the cost-effective Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) method. The scientific objective of the project is the experimental identification and numerical simulation of the evolution of the deformation-induced martensitic transformation in Fused Filament Fabricated Austenitic Stainless Steel (FFF ASS) 316L at a wide range of temperatures. We will investigate how deformation-induced phase transformation develops in printed austenitic steels, how the initial state of the sample (e.g., pore distribution) affects it, and whether deformation-induced martensitic transformation influences the rate of damage development, especially at very low temperatures. Does the manufacturing technology of the sample affect the rate of phase transformation or damage development? Finally, but no less important, is whether, as in the case of traditional austenitic steels, the adverse effect of the microdamage field is inhibited by deformation-induced martensitic transformation. Which of these effects dominates in printed austenitic steels and under what conditions? The experimental setup developed in the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research (IPPT PAN) allows for monitoring the evolution of the 3D strain field during the kinematically-controlled tensile tests of macroscopic specimens at 77K. Moreover, the correlation between plastic strain field evolution, martensitic transformation, thermal distributions and acoustic emission will be defined for FFF 316L at 77K and room temperatures. EBSD and EDS investigation of samples pre-strained in uniaxial tensile tests at a wide range of temperatures are also performed.

The Direct Energy Deposition-Arc process enables relatively high deposition rates, which is favourable for larger components. For this study, specimens with different orientations were prepared from one AISI316 steel block – parallel and orthogonal to the deposition plane. Quasistatic tensile loading tests were carried out, monitored by an infrared camera. The obtained surface temperature maps revealed structural differences between both orientations. The consideration of surface temperature transients yields more details about the behaviour of the material under tensile loading than the conventional stress-strain-curve. These preliminary investigations were supplemented by thermographic fatigue trials. Although the anisotropy was also observed during fatigue loading the fatigue behaviour in general was the same, at least for both inspected specimens. The presented results demonstrate the abilities and the potential of thermographic techniques for tensile tests.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) enables the rapid manufacturing of plastic, metallic and ceramic components with complex geometries. Ceramic and metallic parts formed by FFF require subsequent debinding and sintering to reach full density. Debinding and sintering are typically executed in separate steps with different equipment, necessitating extensive human handling which hinders process automation and may be challenging for the operator in isolated environments. Here an innovative approach is presented: the integration of all process steps into a single, fully automated system, streamlining the process and minimizing human involvement. Our system combines a dual extrusion filament printer with a porous and heat-resistant ceramic print bed. The porous print bed enables mechanical interlocking of the first printed layers, ensuring adhesion and structural integrity during FFF. Ceramic and metallic parts are printed onto thin sacrificial rafts, which are built using an interface material with the same binder as the loaded filament. After the print is completed, the heat-resistant print bed with all parts is transferred seamlessly with a carrier system into a high-temperature furnace for debinding and sintering. During sintering the sacrificial raft is disintegrated, allowing for unconstrained sintering and easy removal of the finished parts. In conclusion, our integrated approach enables significant advancements in the fabrication of complex ceramic or metallic components in remote environments with increased efficiency and minimal human handling.

To match the patients individual anatomy of the heart, there is research for cannulas to be custom-designed and manufactured aided by 3D printing. However, cannulas have to hold very high standards with regard to the smoothness of their surfaces, as rough patches can lead to formation of blood clots. Therefore, this work uses computer vision to detect such patches as part of quality assurance. First, the produced cannula is scanned using a precise CT scanner and transformed into a 3D mesh object. Rough patches in an otherwise smooth but curved surface are detected by using cosine similarity between neighboring faces and a statistical evaluation. In the end, this method is able to raise a warning when curved surfaces are not smooth enough and visualizes the problematic patches. However, there is just limited access to test data currently and the scanner used needs to be upgraded.

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.

T1 - Process Development for Additive Manufacturing of Alumina Toughened Zirconia for 3D Structures by Means of Two-Photon Absorption Technique N2 - Additive manufacturing is well established for plastics and metals, and it gets more and more implemented in a variety of industrial processes. Beside these well-established material platforms, additive manufacturing processes are highly interesting for ceramics, especially regarding resource conservation and for the production of complex three-dimensional shapes and structures with specific feature sizes in the µm and mm range with high accuracy. The usage of ceramics in 3D printing is, however, just at the beginning of a technical implementation in a continuously and fast rising field of research and development. The flexible fabrication of highly complex and precise 3D structures by means of light-induced photopolymerization that are difficult to realize using traditional ceramic fabrication methods such as casting and machining is of high importance. Generally, slurry-based ceramic 3D printing technologies involve liquid or semi-liquid polymeric systems dispersed with ceramic particles as feedstock (inks or pastes), depending on the solid loading and viscosity of the system. This paper includes all types of photo-curable polymer-ceramic-mixtures (feedstock), while demonstrating our own work on 3D printed alumina toughened zirconia based ceramic slurries with light induced polymerization on the basis of two-photon absorption (TPA) for the first time. As a proven exemplary on cuboids with varying edge length and double pyramids in the µm-range we state that real 3D micro-stereolithographic fabrication of ceramic products will be generally possible in the near future by means of TPA. This technology enables the fabrication of 3D structures with high accuracy in comparison to ceramic technologies that apply single-photon excitation. In sum, our work is intended to contribute to the fundamental development of this technology for the representation of oxide-ceramic components (proof-of-principle) and helps to exploit the high potential of additive processes in the field of bio-ceramics in the medium to long-term future.

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.

In the recent years, it has been used for the first safety-relevant parts, but the consideration of cyclic mechanical behavior in AM is still at the very beginning. The reason for this is the complexity of mechanical material properties, i.e. inhomogeneity, anisotropy and a large number of defects frequently textured and characterized by large scattering in size. Additionally, high surface roughness and residual stresses with complex distributions are typical of AM. Due to these reasons, the transferability of experimentally determined properties from specimens to components is a challenge. This presentation provides an overview of the questions concerning the application of AM to safety-relevant components. Possible strategies for the fatigue design of such components are presented. Besides the Kitagawa-Takahashi-diagram method and the cyclic R-curve analysis as approaches for damage-tolerant design, the identification of critical locations, the problem of representative material properties and the handling of residual stresses are addressed.

Accurately simulating these phenomena is often computationally expensive, thus limiting the application, e. g. for model parameter estimation or online process control. Model order reduction, a solution to preserve accuracy while reducing complexity, is explored. This paper addresses challenges in developing a reduced model using the Proper Generalized Decomposition (PGD) for transient thermal problems with a specific treatment of the moving heat source within the reduced model. Factors affecting accuracy, convergence, and computational cost, such as discretization methods (finite element and finite difference), a dimensionless formulation, the size of the heat source, and the inclusion of material parameters as additional PGD variables are examined across progressively complex examples. The results demonstrate the influence of these factors on the PGD model's performance and emphasize the importance of their consideration when implementing such models. For thermal examples it is demonstrated that a PGD model with a finite difference discretization in time, a dimensionless representation, a mapping for a moving heat source, and a spatial domain non-separation yields the best approximation to the full order model.

Thus, the total particle emission could be systematically underestimated.

T1 - Structural integrity II: fatigue properties N2 - If a component is cyclically loaded, its load carrying capacity is considerably lower than in the monotonic loading case. This general observation applies in particular to L-PBF parts. The causes of this are mainly material defects such as pores and unwelded regions (Chapter 8) and a pronounced surface roughness in the as-built condition (Chapter 9). In addition, effects due to the anisotropy of the microstructure (Chapter 6) and a complex residual stress pattern (Chapter 7) play an important role. A consequence is that common strategies of fatigue assessment cannot be transferred to L-PBF applications without modifications. Due to the inhomogeneity of the material, the determination of representative material properties and the transfer to the component is a problem, and this is also the case with regard to the consideration of defects, surface roughness and residual stresses. The chapter gives a brief introduction to these problem areas.

Especially precast concrete elements are frequently utilized in construction projects for standardized applications, increasing the quality of the composite material, as well as reducing the required building time. Despite the accumulated knowledge, continuous research and development in this field is essential due to the complexity of the composite combined with the ever-growing number of applications and requirements. Especially in view of global climate change, design aspects as CO2 emissions and resource efficiency require new mix designs and optimization strategies. A result of the material’s high complexity and heterogeneity on multiple scales is that utilizing the full potential with changing demands is highly challenging, even for the established industry. We propose a framework based on an ontology, which automatically combines experimental data with numerical simulations. This not only simplifies experimental knowledge transfer, but allows the model calibration and the resulting simulation predictions to be reproducible and interpretable. This research shows a way towards a more performance oriented material design. Within this talk we present our workflow for an automated simulation of a precast element, demonstrating the interaction of the ontology and the finite element simulation. We show the automatic calibration of our early-age concrete model [1, 2], to improve the prediction of the optimal time for the removal of the form work.

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.

To kickstart industry use cases it is important to provide a ready made implementation kit. Following an open science and open source software approach Germanys Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing BAM seeks to promote digital solutions of ongoing Research projects. With this software package a novel method based on microstructural features as identifiers DOI4AM (digital object identifier for additively manufactured parts will be explained alongside its implementation as open source Python software package. The digital object identifier (DOI) links product data clearly and forgery proof with real components. Its implementation helps to identify and securely authenticate additively manufactured components during its product life cycle by using characteristic microstructure features just like a fingerprint. To calculate the DOI fingerprint, a few preprocessing steps need to be performed to detect the uniquely distributed microstructure features that occur during the 3D printing process. A go through guide show s the preprocessing steps that include computer tomography (CT) image capturing, feature segmentation and data distribution via CSV files. While all steps can be followed along in a Jupyter notebook with sample data, the software package includes functions to create and compare fingerprints, as well, as an application programming interface (API) for integration in existing software platforms. A quick showcase of our industry partners implementation of the algorithm as containerized micro service in their digital product passport (DPP) web solution PASS X proves the first successful technology transfer of this project.

However, the selection of process parameters that yield the desired near net shape design as well as the requested mechanical component behavior is not a trivial task due to the complex relationship. Exemplarily for additive manufacturing of high-strength precipitation hardening AlMgSi-aluminum alloy this paper shows the application of a newly developed matching solid welding wire doped with TiB as grain refiner. The correlation between process parameters and component quality is examined analyzing the size and distribution of pores as well as the grain morphology. Furthermore, the influences of different post-weld heat treatments are evaluated to meet the reference mechanical properties of the corresponding wrought material. Finally, the digital integration of the entire additive manufacturing chain enables an overall traceability of the relevant process steps which is the basis for a reliable subsequent quality assessment.

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.

Among candidate materials, Nitinol (NiTi) is particularly attractive due to its shape memory and superelastic properties, though its high sensitivity to processing conditions demands precise parameter control. In this work, prealloyed NiTi powder was deposited as single tracks, and process parameters were optimized using a Design of Experiments methodology. A Central Composite Design (CCD) was implemented with laser power, scan speed, and powder feed rate as inputs, while track’s height, width, aspect ratio, and dilution served as optimization responses. To address the strong susceptibility of NiTi to heat accumulation, hatch spacing was further optimized using a geometrically derived formula, enabling the use of maximum spacing while ensuring dense parts with smooth surfaces and minimal waviness. The presented framework establishes a systematic route for parameter optimization in NiTi LMD, offering practical guidelines for balancing densification and surface quality.

As the process is frequently applied in the aerospace industry, the requirements for quality assurance are extremely high. Therefore, more and more sensor systems are being implemented for process monitoring. To evaluate the generated data, suitable methods must be developed. A solution, in this context, was the application of artificial neural networks (ANNs). This article demonstrates how measurement data can be used as input data for ANNs. The measurement data were generated using a pyrometer, an emission spectrometer, a camera (Charge-Coupled Device) and a laser scanner. First, a concept for the extraction of relevant features from dynamic measurement data series was presented. The developed method was then applied to generate a data set for the quality prediction of various geometries, including weld beads, coatings and cubes. The results were compared to ANNs trained with process parameters such as laser power, scan speed and powder mass flow. It was shown that the use of measurement data provides additional value. Neural networks trained with measurement data achieve significantly higher prediction accuracy, especially for more complex geometries.

Due to its good corrosion resistance, high tensile strength and good ductility it has multiple applications. But laser beam welding of duplex steels changes the balanced phase distribution in favor of ferrite. This results in a higher vulnerability to corrosion and a lower ductility. In this study different powder combinations consisting of duplex and nickel for coating layers by laser metal deposition are investigated. Afterwards laser tracks are welded, and the temperature cycles measured. The ferrite content of the tracks are analyzed by feritscope, metallographic analysis and Electron Backscatter Diffraction. The goal is the development of a powder mixture allowing for a duplex microstructure in a two-step process, where firstly the edges of the weld partners are coated with the powder mixture by LMD and secondly those edges are laser beam welded. The powder mixture identified by the pretests is tested in the two-step process and analyzed by metallographic analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Vickers hardness tests. The resulting weld seams show a balanced duplex microstructure with a homogenous nickel distribution and a hardness of the weld seam similar to the base material.

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.

This is the reason, for the need for reliable in-situ defect detection techniques. For laser beam weld seams an optical measurement technique based on an optical flow algorithm was successfully used to define the critical straining conditions that lead to hot cracking. This algorithm was adapted for bead-on-plate weld seams on LMD deposited layers of IN718 alloy while performing external strain on the specimen in an externally loaded hot cacking test facility. The resulting transversal hot cracks along the weld seam were localized via X-Ray inspection and the type of cracking confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The strain distribution was measured in the vicinity of the solidification front and correlated to the detected hot cracks. Based on the results this technique could be adopted for LMD experiments.

To improve circulation, patients often undergo the Fontan procedure, which reroutes blood flow — but this can put stress on other organs. In some cases, ventricular assist devices, or VADs, are used to support the heart’s pumping function. This involves an artificial pump connected directly to the patient's heart via silicone-based cannulas. Unique anatomical conditions introduce special challenges for cannula geometry. Additive manufacturing offers innovative solutions by enabling the production of personalized medical devices. The aim of the project is to develop the manufacturing workflow for the individualized cannula from digital imaging of the patient and customized design to additive manufacturing. Besides technical feasibility, validating the entire process is crucial for regulatory approval. The selection and testing of suitable additive manufacturing processes and biocompatible materials for individualized silicone cannulas, ensuring compliance with quality standards for high-risk medical products, will be presented.

For the industrial application of the LPBF-LMD hybrid process chain, it is necessary to investigate the infuence of the LMD process on the LPBF substrate. In addition, the build plate material also has a signifcant impact on the occurrence of distortion along the additive manufacturing process chain. In the literature, steel build plates are often used in laser-based additive manufacturing processes of Inconel 718, since a good metallurgical Bonding can be assured whilst reducing costs in the production and restoration of the build plates. This paper examines the distortion caused by LMD material deposition and the infuence of the build plate material along the hybrid additive manufacturing process chain. Twin cantilevers are manufactured by LPBF and an additional layer is subsequently deposited with LMD. The distortion is measured in the as-built condition as well as after heat treatment. The efect of diferent LMD hatch strategies on the distortion is determined. The experiments are conducted using the nickel-base alloy Inconel 718. The results show a signifcant infuence of LMD path strategies on distortion, with shorter tool paths leading to less distortion. The remaining distortion after heat treatment is considerably dependent on the material of the build plate.

At the same time, additive manufacturing technologies have shown great potential in producing high-volume parts for maritime applications, allowing novel design approaches and short lead times. In this context, this study presents a sustainable approach to recycle and use aluminium bronze waste material, generated during post-processing of large cast ship propellers, as feedstock for laser-powder directed energy deposition. The recycling technology used to produce powder batches is inductive re-melting in combination with ultrasonic atomization. The derived metal powders are characterized using digital image analysis, powder flowability tests, scanning electron microscopy as well as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Compared to conventional metal powders produced by gas atomization, the recycled material shows excellent sphericity and a powder size distribution with a higher content of finer and coarser particles. Metallographic sections of deposited additively produced specimens show an increased hardness and reduced ductility, but also competitive densities and higher yield and ultimate tensile strength compared to cast material. The process chain shows high potential for the maritime sector to enable circular and sustainable manufacturing.

A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Functionally graded material for improved wear resistance manufactured by directed energy deposition N2 - Protecting components against wear and corrosion is a common way to improve their lifetime. This can be achieved by coating them with a hardfacing material. Common coatings consist of materials such as tungsten carbide or cobalt-chromium alloys, also known as Stellite. Hardfacing materials can be deposited by welding methods like plasma welding or laser cladding. The discrete change of the base material to the hardfacing layer can lead to cracks and chipping. Studies showed a reduced risk of cracking when a functionally graded material is used to create a smooth transition between the base and the hardfacing. Gradings from austenitic steel to cobalt-chromium alloys are already known in the literature. However, there is no knowledge about austenitic- ferritic duplex steels as base material. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a functionally graded material from duplex steel to cobalt-chromium alloy with a new approach. By using powder-based directed energy deposition, a graded material with smooth material transition is manufactured additively. Cracking and porosity are examined through metallography. Microhardness measurements as well as the analysis of the chemical composition by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray fluorescence are used to validate the build-up strategy.

Challenges in laser beam welding of the sheets are hardness-drops and -peaks in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and weld, which cause risks during cold-forming. This happens due to rapid cooling caused by laser welding. A numerical approach aiming for slower cooling rates in the weld region is presented in this article. Laser welded sheets served as reference for setting up a process simulation. Models for pre-heating and a coaxial setup with power split were set up. A correlation between cooling-rate and hardness in the joining zone was established and applied to the modelled strategy. Splitting the power led to a slightly narrower weld seam and experimental pre-heating of the sheets to 600 °C could lower total seam hardening. It achieved a homogenization of the fusion zone.

The current state of the work developed in this research framework allows showing the first batch of experimental results of crack propagation rate (FCGR) and high cycle fatigue (HCF) tests. The geometry of the vessels studied presents three clearly differentiated regions, either in terms of thickness (11-15 mm) or concerning the inclination of the walls to the direction of manufacturing (0º - 45º). The experimental campaign carried out so far allows identifying the differences in behaviour when comparing different extraction locations around the vessel. This is due to the variations in thermal cycles that the deposited material undergoes during the manufacturing process. Therefore, this causes variations in the microstructure which lead to changes in the response of the material. In this work, these differences are analysed qualitatively and quantitatively from the results of FCGR and HCF, thus allowing to locate the regions with the highest risk in terms of structural integrity against fatigue. This preliminary phase together with the numerical simulation of the additive manufacturing process are key to achieving a reliable description and modelling of the material. The latter will make it possible to address the priority aim of this project, involving the manufacture of independent samples whose properties are representative of the original material extracted from the reference vessels. It is, therefore, a comprehensive methodology for the design of additively manufactured components based on the localised fatigue mechanical properties of representative specimens.

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.

T1 - European Metrology Network for Advanced Manufacturing N2 - The progress of Advanced Manufacturing, which has been identified by the European Commission as a Key Enabling Technology (KET) for future economic and societal progress is strongly reliant on the development of metrology capabilities. EURAMET, the association of metrology institutes in Europe, has established metrology research programs to address the metrology requirements across a spectrum of different thematic areas. In order to leverage the benefits of these developments on the wider industrial landscape, a high-level coordination of the metrology community supporting the Advanced Manufacturing landscape is required. This coordination is aimed to be achieved by the establishment of European Metrology Networks (EMNs), which are intended by EURAMET to provide a sustainable structure for stakeholder engagement and support. The joint networking project 19NET01 AdvManuNet funded by EMPIR for 4 years, started in June 2020 and aims to accelerate the process of establishing an EMN to strengthen Europe’s position in Advanced Manufacturing. The AdvManuNet project aims to support the establishment of an EMN on Advanced Manufacturing via the following specific aims: 1. Creation of a single hub for stakeholder engagement across the landscape of various industrial sectors including relevant societies and standardization bodies. 2. Development of a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) and roadmaps for Advanced Manufacturing metrology based on the stakeholder engagement activities, considering current gaps in metrological capabilities existing networks and roadmaps. 3. Establish a knowledge-sharing program for Advanced Manufacturing stakeholders, promoting the dissemination and exploitation of the results of the project, including those from previous EU funded research projects. 4.

Although many studies on wet corrosion of these metals have been conducted, to the authors knowledge no study seems to contain microbiological corrosion (MIC). In the presented study an experiment was conducted on PBF-LB/AlSi10Mg to test this material's susceptibility for MIC. The tested specimen were analysed using Computed Tomography before and after the MIC experiment to enable a detailed characterisation the damage on the specimens' global and local level. A global reduction of material was observed. In addition, localised damage along process inherent features of the materials microstructure was observed.

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.

Consequently, EURAMET, the association of metrology institutes in Europe, has strengthened the role of Metrology for these KETs by enabling the creation of a European Metrology Network (EMN) for Advanced Manufacturing. The EMN is comprised of National Metrology Institutes (NMIs) and Designated Institutes (DIs) from across Europe and was formally established in October 2021. The aim of the EMN is to provide a high-level coordination of European metrology activities for the Advanced Manufacturing community.

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.

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.

AM offers economic advantages and enables an efficient use of materials. However, AM components often require subsequent mechanical post-processing, such as machining (e.g. milling), to achieve the final contours or surfaces. This is a particular challenge due to the heterogeneous and anisotropic nature of AM structures, which affect machining and the resulting component properties. High-performance materials such as iron aluminide represent a promising alternative to conventional high-temperature materials with a significant economic advantage. However, the strength and hardness properties, which are advantageous for applications in highly stressed lightweight components, pose a challenge for economical machining in addition to the AM microstructure properties. The difficult-to-cut material causes accelerated tool wear and insufficient surface quality. This study shows that crack-free additive manufacturing of the three-component system of iron-nickel-aluminum is possible and advantages in terms of machinability compared to FeAl-AM components are achieved. The more homogeneous microstructure leads to a reduction in cutting forces, with positive effects on the machinability and optimized surface integrity. Ultrasonic assisted milling (USAM) offers great potential to address the major challenges posed by difficult-to-cut materials and additively manufactured weld structures. Therefore, this study focuses on assessing the transferability of previous positive results by USAM to the selected iron aluminide alloys. The machinability of the aluminides is analyzed by varying significant influencing variables in finish milling experiments and evaluated in terms of the loads on the tool and the resulting surface integrity.

Unter der Vielzahl an Einflussfaktoren auf die Qualität und die mechanischen Eigenschaften von L-PBF-Bauteilen hat die Zwischenlagenzeit (engl. inter layer time, ILT) bisher kaum Beachtung in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur gefunden, obwohl sie je nach Bauraumausnutzungsgrad stark variieren kann. In diesem Vortrag werden Ergebnisse einer Studie präsentiert, die den Einfluss der ILT in Kombination mit der Bauteilhöhe und unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Volumenenergiedichten am Beispiel der austenitischen Stahllegierung AISI 316L untersucht. Die Fertigungsprozesse wurden in-situ mittels Thermographiekamera überwacht. Auf diese Weise konnten intrinsische Vorerwärmungstemperaturen während der Bauteilfertigung lagenweise extrahiert werden. Es wurden signifikante Effekte der ILT und der Bauteilhöhe auf Wärmeakkumulation, Mikrostruktur, Schmelzbadgeometrie und Härte festgestellt. Ferner konnte ein Anstieg von Defektdichten bei einem gegenseitigen Wechselspiel aus Bauteilhöhe und ILT aufgezeigt werden. Die Zwischenlagenzeit wurde somit als kritischer Faktor für die L-PBF-Fertigung von Realbauteilen identifiziert.

T1 - Heat control and design-related effects on the properties and welding stresses in WAAM components of high-strength structural steels N2 - Commercial high-strength filler metals for wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) are already available. However, widespread industrial use is currently limited due to a lack of quantitative knowledge and guidelines regarding welding stresses and component safety during manufacture and operation for WAAM structures. In a joint research project (FOSTA-P1380/IGF21162BG), the process- and material-related as well as design influences associated with residual stress formation and the risk of cold cracking are being investigated. For this purpose, reference specimens are welded fully automated with defined dimensions and systematic variation of heat control using a special, high-strength WAAM filler metal (yield strength >790 MPa). Heat control is varied by means of heat input (200–650 kJ/m) and interlayer temperature (100–300 °C). The ∆t8/5 cooling times correspond with the recommendations of steel producers (approx. 5–20 s). Welding parameters and AM geometry are correlated with the resulting microstructure, hardness and residual stress state. High heat input leads to a lower tensile stress in the component and may cause unfavorable microstructure and mechanical properties. However, a sufficiently low interlayer temperature is likely to be suitable for obtaining adequate properties at a reduced tensile stress level when welding with high heat input. The component design affects heat dissipation conditions and the intensity of restraint during welding and has a significant influence on the residual stress. These complex interactions are analyzed within this investigation. The aim is to provide easily applicable processing recommendations and standard specifications for an economical, appropriate and crack-safe WAAM of high-strength steels.

This study explores the synergy between these materials and additive manufacturing (AM), focusing on their unique properties to engineer resource-efficient structures. Despite these advancements, machining these hard-to-cut materials such as iron-aluminide for safety-critical components remains challenging due to increased tool wear and compromised surface integrity. This research focuses on overcoming these challenges through the application of ultrasonic-assisted milling (USAM), a hybrid machining process exhibiting significant potential. By incorporating ultrasonic oscillations along the milling tool axis, USAM minimizes tool and component surface loads, enhancing tool life and producing defect-free, homogeneous surfaces with reduced roughness parameters. This investigation centers on the influence of ultrasonic-assisted milling on residual material stresses, crucial for component performance under load. In contrast to conventional milling generating tensile stresses, USAM induces advantageous compressive residual stresses, potentially enhancing the component's crack resistance. The study employs experimental variations in ultrasonic amplitude during the machining process to identify optimal parameters for achieving maximum compressive stresses. In addition, the depth profile of these residual stresses on the surface is investigated, which provides more detailed insights into their distribution and possible effects. This research not only contributes to the evolving environment of innovative manufacturing technologies, but also places particular focus on the central role of residual stresses in the performance and reliability of safety-critical AM components. The results not only contribute to a better understanding of ultrasonic-assisted milling, but also provide crucial guidance for the design of components that can withstand the challenges of real-world applications.

Efficient manufacturing and further weight savings are achievable due to Wire Arc Additive Manu-facturing (WAAM). First commercial high-strength welding consumables for WAAM are already available. However, the application is still severely limited due to a lack of knowledge and guidelines for the industry regarding welding residual stresses and component safety in manufacturing and operation. Residual stresses may be critical regarding the special microstructure of high-strength steels in context with the risk of cold cracking and component performance in service. Therefore, process- and material-related influences, as well as the design effects on residual stress formation and cold cracking, are being investi-gated in a research project (IGF 21162 BG) focusing a high-strength WAAM welding consumable with yield strength of over 800 MPa. Objectives are the establish-ment of special WAAM cold cracking tests and pro-cessing recommendations allowing economical, suita-ble, and crack-safe WAAM of high-strength steels. First studies on process-related influences showed transfor-mation residual stresses arising during cooling, which significantly influence stress evolution of the compo-nent during layer-wise build-up. This has not yet been investigated for WAAM of high-strength steels. Focus of this study is on the systematic investigation of interactions of the WAAM welding process and design with cooling time, hardness, and residual stresses. Defined open hollow cuboids were welded and investi-gated under systematic variation (design of experi-ments, DoE) of the scale/dimensions (cf. Fig. 1a) and heat control (interlayer temperature Ti: 100–300 °C), heat input E: 200–650 kJ/m. The welding parameters were kept constant as possible to avoid any influence by the arc and the material transfer mode. The heat input adjusted primarily via the welding speed. The resulting different weald bead widths were considered by different build-up strategies (weld beads per layer) to ensure defined wall thicknesses. The hardness was determined on cross-sections taken from the manufac-tured hollow cuboids (Fig. 1c) and the analysis of the residual stress state was carried out by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) at defined positions on the lateral wall (Fig. 1b). The hardness is higher at the top compared to the lower weld beads, as shown in Fig. 1c exemplarily for central test parameters of the DoE = 425 kJ/mm, Ti = 200 °C). This may be attributed to the specific heat control of the top weld beads, i.e., quenching effects, which are not tempered by weld beads above as is the case for lower weld beads implying a higher hardness. It was observed that the hardness level decreases with increasing energy per unit length, while the in-terpass temperature has a rather low influence on the hardness Residual stress analysis was performed on the lat-eral wall in the welding direction, cf. Fig. 1b, to deter-mine the influence of heat control and design. In the top area of the wall, maximum longitudinal residual stress-es of up to over 500 MPa exhibit, which corresponds to approx. 65% of the nominal yield strength of the mate-rial. The statistic evaluation of stress levels in welding direction of all test specimens show that adaption of heat input may reduce welding stresses up to 50%. In-terpass temperature has less pronounced effect on cool-ing times, microstructure, and on the residual level within parameter matrix. Overall, the results show a significant influence of heat input and component di-mensions on the residual stresses and minor effect of the interpass temperature. Hence, the properties of the specimens may be effectively adjusted via heat input. The working temperatures should be considered for global shrinkage behavior or restraints. Such investiga-tions of residual stress are necessary to further deter-mine local and global welding stresses regarding the consequences on the component safety during manu-facturing and service.

T1 - Influence of the WAAM process and design aspects on residual stresses in high-strength structural steels N2 - High-strength fine-grain structural steels have great potential for weight optimization of many modern engineering structures. Efficient manufacturing can be achieved here above all by Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). First commercial high-strength welding consumables for WAAM are already available. However, due to a lack of knowledge and guidelines for the industry regarding welding residual stresses and component safety in manufacturing and operation, their application is still severely limited. Residual stresses play a crucial role here, as the sensitive microstructure of high-strength steels carries a high risk of cold cracking. For this reason, process- and material-related influences, as well as the design aspects on residual stress formation and the risk of cold cracking, are being investigated in a recent project (FOSTA-P1380/IGF21162BG). This high strength of the WAAM welding consumables is adjusted via a martensitic phase transformation. The volume expansion associated with martensite formation has a significant influence on residual stress evolution. However, this has not yet been investigated in relation to the processing of high-strength steels by WAAM. The aim of this work is to establish a WAAM cold crack test and easy-to-apply processing recommendations that will allow economical, expedient, and crack-resistant fabrication of high-strength steels, especially for SME. This paper focuses on the analysis of the effects of welding heat control and design of WAAM components on cooling conditions, microstructure, mechanical-technological properties and residual stresses. For this purpose, geometrically defined specimens (hollow cuboids) are welded fully automatically with a special, high-strength WAAM solid wire (yield strength >790 MPa). The heat control and specimen dimensions are varied within a statistical experimental design. The weld heat control is adjusted in such a way that the t8/5 cooling times are ensured within the recommended processing range (approx. 5–20 s). For this purpose, additional thermo-physical forming simulations using a dilatometer allowed the complex heat cycles to be reproduced and the resulting ultimate tensile strength of the weld metal to be determined. The WAAM welding of complex geometries with varying welding heat control and geometric factors or wall thicknesses not only has an effect on the cooling conditions, cooling times and microstructure, but also has a significant influence on the structural restraint conditions during welding. Hence, the welding experiments show significant effects of specimen scaling and heat input on the welding residual stresses, which may be detrimental regarding component properties and crack-critical tensile residual stresses. These complex interactions are analyzed within this investigation.

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. Our work suggests a methodology for the identification, authentication, and traceability of AM components using microstructural features in AM components. We will show a workflow that includes analysing 3D micro computed tomography data and selecting a set number of voids that fulfil the identification criteria. We will show the results this workflow produces for a series of 20 Al-based cuboid samples with identical processing parameters and discuss their prospects and limitations. The workflow can help to establish a non-tamperable connection between an additively manufactured part and its digital data and hence link the physical and the digital world.

T1 - In Situ Real-Time Monitoring Versus Post NDE for Quality Assurance of Additively Manufactured Metal Parts N2 - In this chapter, the current state-of-the-art of in situ monitoring and in situ NDE methods in additive manufacturing is summarized. The focus is set on methods, which are suitable for making statements about the quality and usability of a component currently being manufactured. This includes methods which can be used to determine state properties like temperature or density, other physical properties like electrical or thermal conductivity, the microstructure, the chemical composition, the actual geometry, or which enable the direct detection of defects like cracks, voids, delaminations, or inclusions. Thus, optical, thermographic, acoustic, and electromagnetic methods, as well as methods being suitable for investigating particle and fume emission are presented. The requirements of in situ monitoring methods with a focus on thermographic methods are discussed by considering different additive manufacturing processes like laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) and direct energy deposition (DED-LB/M). Examples of the successful implementation and applications of such monitoring methods at BAM are given. The in situ monitoring and NDE methods are compared against post-process NDE methods. The advantages and challenges of in situ methods concerning real-time data analysis and the application of AI algorithms are addressed and discussed.

However, the processes are highly complex and due to the rapid thermal cycles involved, high internal stresses and peculiar microstructures occur, which influence the parts mechanical properties. To systematically examine the formation of internal stresses and the microstructure, in-process spatially resolved measurements of the part temperature are needed. If the emissivity of the inspected part is known, its thermodynamic temperature can be reconstructed by a suited radiometric model. However, in additive manufacturing of metals, the emissivity of the part surface is strongly inhomogeneous and rapidly changing due to variations of, e.g., the degree of oxidation, the material state and temperature. Thus, here, the applicability of thermography in the determination of thermodynamic temperatures is limited. However, measuring the process thermal radiation at different wavelengths simultaneously enables one to separate temperature and emissivity spatially resolved to obtain further insight into the process. Here, we present results of an initial study using multispectral thermography to obtain real temperatures and emissivities in the powderfree LMD process.

However, especially for safety relevant applications, a suitable quality assurance is needed. A time and cost efficient route to achieve this goal is in-situ monitoring of the build process. Here, the BAM project ProMoAM (Process monitoring in additive manufacturing) is briefly introduced and recent advances of BAM in the field of in-situ monitoring of the L-PBF and the LMD process using thermography are presented.

Thus, sensors and measuring systems are already commercially available for process monitoring, at least in metal-based additive manufacturing. However, it is not yet possible to detect defects and inhomogeneities directly or indirectly during the building process. The aim of the project ProMoAM is to develop spectroscopic and non-destructive testing methods for the in-situ evaluation of the quality of additively manufactured metal components in laser- or arc-based AM processes. In addition to passive and active methods of thermography, this includes optical tomography, optical emission spectroscopy, eddy current testing, laminography (radiography), X-ray backscattering, particle emission spectroscopy and photoacoustic methods.

Thermography is a nondestructive testing method that allows the in-situ determination of the thermal history of the produced part which is connected to the mechanical properties and the formation of defects [1]. A wide range of commercial thermographic camera systems working in different spectral ranges is available on the market. The understanding of the applicability of these cameras for qualitative and quantitative in-situ measurements in L-PBF is of vital importance [2]. In this study, the building process of a cylindrical specimen (Inconel 718) is monitored by three camera systems simultaniously. These camera systems are sensitive in various spectral bandwidths providing information in different temperature ranges. The performance of each camera system is explored in the context of the extraction of image features for the detection of defects. It is shown that the high temporal and thermal process dynamics are limiting factors on this matter. The combination of different spectral camera systems promises the potential of an improved defect detection by data fusion.

However, due to the high complexity of the production process, it is not yet fully understood and controlled, especially for changing (lot size one) part geometries. Due to the thermal nature of the Laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process – where parts are built up layer-wise by melting metal powder via laser - the properties of the produced part are strongly governed by its thermal history. Thus, a promising route for process monitoring is the use of thermography. However, the reconstruction of temperature information from thermographic data relies on the knowledge of the surface emissivity at each position on the part. Since the emissivity is strongly changing during the process due to phase changes, great temperature gradients, possible oxidation, and other potential influencing factors, the extraction of real temperature data from thermographic images is challenging. While the temperature development in and around the melt pool, where melting and solidification occur is most important for the development of the part properties. Also, the emissivity changes are most severe in this area, rendering the temperature deduction most challenging. A possible route to overcome the entanglement of temperature and emissivity in the thermal radiation is the use of hyperspectral imaging in combination with temperature emissivity separation (TES) algorithms. As a first step towards the combined temperature and emissivity determination in the L-PBF process, here, we use a hyperspectral line camera system operating in the short-wave infrared region (0.9 µm to 1.7 µm) to measure the spectral radiance emitted. In this setup, the melt pool of the L-PBF process migrates through the camera’s 1D field of view, so that the radiation intensities are recorded simultaneously for multiple different wavelength ranges in a spatially resolved manner. At sufficiently high acquisition frame rate, an effective melt pool image can be reconstructed. Using the grey body approximation (emissivity is independent of the wavelength), a first, simple TES is performed, and the resulting emissivity and temperature values are compared to literature values. Subsequent work will include reference measurements of the spectral emissivity in different states allowing its analytical parametrisation as well as the adaption and optimisation of the TES algorithms. An illustration of the proposed method is shown in Fig.1. The investigated method will allow to gain a deeper understanding of the L-PBF process, e.g., by quantitative validation of simulation results. Additionally, the results will provide a data basis for the development of less complex and cheaper sensor technologies for L-PBF in-process monitoring (or for related process), e.g., by using machine learning.

Here, the presence of internal porosity was identified as a limiting factor for the final component quality. The utilization of thermography as an in-situ monitoring technique allows the determination of the part’s thermal history which was found to be connected to the porosity formation [1]. Combining the local thermal information derived from thermography with the porosity information obtained by x-ray micro computed tomography, machine learning algorithms can be utilized to predict the porosity distribution in the part. In this study, a first approach for the prediction of keyhole porosity in a cylindric specimen from AISI 316L stainless steel is presented. It is based on data augmentation using the “SmoteR” algorithm [2] to cure the dataset imbalance and a 1-dimensional convolutional neural network. [1] C.S.

The most significant obstacle for a broad industrial application of the L-PBF process is the inadequate quality assurance during the manufacturing process so far, leading to high production costs. Although several mainly camera based commercial in-process monitoring systems are already available, a deep understanding of the interpretation of the monitored data and correlation with actual defects is still lacking. One reason for this is the reduction of the complex process signature to just one measurement value. The focus of this contribution is the presentation of the multispectral optical tomography as alternative to single measurand in-situ monitoring systems. The potential of this approach is hereby shown on L-PBF printed samples with induced process instabilities. Beyond that, an in-house developed L-PBF printer for further testing of multi-sensor in-situ monitoring systems is presented.

Further advances in efficiency can be achieved through the application of additive manufacturing processes, such as Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). These technologies enable the sustainable and resource-efficient manufacturing of high-strength steels into near-net-shape, efficient structures. During the production of steel structures, unacceptable defects may occur in the weld area or in the WAAM component, e.g., due to unstable process conditions. The economical solution for most of the cases is local gouging or machining of the affected areas and repair welding. With respect to the limited ductility of high-strength steels, it is necessary to clarify the effects of machining steps on the multiaxial stress state and the high design-induced shrinkage restraint. In this context, the component-related investigations in two research projects are concerned with the residual stress evolution during welding and slot milling of welds and WAAM structures made of high-strength steels with yield strengths ≥790 MPa. In-situ digital image correlation (DIC) and ex-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyse the stresses and strains induced on specimens during and after milling. The systematic analyses revealed a significant interaction of the stiffness and relaxation of the specimens with the initial residual stresses induced by welding.

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.

Handheld laser beam welding is a promising alternative with high welding velocity and a concentrated heat input. However, its current use in industry is limited to parts with aesthetic requirements, often made of high-alloyed steel. To extend the use of handheld laser beam welding to low-cost steels with good mechanical properties, this study investigates the influence of laser power on the melt pool shape for micro-alloyed steel with a thickness of 1.5 mm. Tested joint geometries are T-joints welded with filler wire as well as butt joints and overlap joints without filler wire, which are typically found in assemblies under mechanical load. Weld quality is assessed by weld porosity analysis. The results show that the handheld laser beam welding with filler wire produces T-joints with a very good external appearance, but with porosity between level C and D in the cross sections according to DIN EN ISO 13919-1. By increasing the laser power, a deep penetration of the T-joint zone can be achieved without increasing the actual throat thickness. For handheld laser beam welding of butt joints a full penetration weld of the highest quality class can be reached. Overlap joints can be welded with full or partial penetration depending on the laser power selected, with quality classes between B and C in terms of porosity.
