Organisationseinheit der BAM
For non-destructive testing (NDT) appropriate reference blocks are required in order to verify and calibrate a testing procedure. At BAM a special electric discharge machining (EDM) system has been developed which is able to manufacture artificial defects having a width down to 30 μm.
Especially in the case of austenitic materials conventional EDM leads to a transformation of austenite to martensite. The martensite transformation causes a higher sensitivity of electromagnetic NDT methods (e. g. eddy current testing) at the artificial defects compared to natural defects of same size. The EDM system developed at BAM uses very low energy to avoid this material transformation. A side effect of the low-energy EDM is a lower surface roughness compared to conventional EDM. The artificial defects manufactured at BAM are measured optically and delivered with a certificate. A comparison of artificial defects shows the influence of material transformation on NDT and how differently the quality of the artificial defects can be.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals has become industrially viable for a large variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive and medicine. Powder bed techniques such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) based on layer-by-layer deposition and laser melt enable numerous degrees of freedom for the geometrical design. Developing during the manufacturing process, residual stresses may limit the application of SLM parts by reducing the load bearing capacity as well as induce unwanted distortion depending on the boundary conditions specified in manufacturing.
The residual stress distribution in the bulk of IN718 elongated prisms produced by SLM was studied non-destructively by means of neutron diffraction. The samples with different scanning strategies, i.e. hatching length, were measured in as-build condition (on a build plate) and after removal from the build plate.
The absolute values of all stress components decreased after removal from the build plate. Together with surface scan utilizing a coordinate-measuring machine (CMM), it is possible to link the stress release to the sample distortion. Obtained results indicated different residual stress states for each of the transversal, longitudinal and normal component depending on the thermal gradient in the respective direction.
Die Schicht-für-Schicht additive Fertigung (AM) in Form des selektiven Laserschmelzens (SLM) bietet einerseits Vorteile bezüglich des Probendesigns, andererseits sind thermische Eigenspannungen (ES) aufgrund des hohen Temperaturgradienten unvermeidbar. Diese Eigenspannungen wurden in zwei SLM-gefertigten Proben aus IN718 zerstörungsfrei mit Neutronenstreuung hinsichtlich der folgenden zwei Einflüsse analysiert: der Einfluss der Hatch-Länge und das Abtrennen des Werkstücks von der Bauplatte. Begleitet wurden die Messungen der Eigenspannungen durch optische Mikroskopie und die taktile Vermessung der Oberfläche. Eine Korrelation zwischen den Eigenspannungen und der Hatch-Länge konnte beobachtet und erklärt werden.
