Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion-manufactured (E-PBF) porous components with narrow pores or channels and rough walls or struts can be filled with trapped powder after the manufacturing process. Adequate powder removal procedures are required, especially for high-density porous structures. In the present research, sheetbased porous structures with different thicknesses based on triply periodic minimal surfaces fabricated by EPBF were subjected to different post-processing methods, including a traditional powder recovery system for EPBF, chemical etching and ultrasound vibration-assisted powder removal. Wall thickness, internal defects, microstructure and morphology features, powder distribution inside the specimens, mechanical properties and deformation modes were investigated. A powder recovery system could not remove all residual powder from dense structures. In turn, chemical etching was effective for surface morphology changes and subsurface layers elimination but not for powder removal, as it affected the wall thickness, considerably influencing the mechanical properties of the whole structure. The ultrasound vibration method was quite effective for the removal of residual powder from sheet-based TMPS structures and without a severe degradation of mechanical properties. 10.1016/j.msea.2022.144479 Ultrasound vibration also caused grain refinement.
The greatest challenge when using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) for automatic segmentation of microstructural X-ray computed tomography (XCT) data is the acquisition of sufficient and relevant data to train the working network. Traditionally, these have been attained by manually annotating a few slices for 2D DCNNs. However, complex multiphase microstructures would presumably be better segmented with 3D networks. However, manual segmentation labeling for 3D problems is prohibitive. In this work, we introduce a method for generating synthetic XCT data for a challenging six-phase Al–Si alloy composite reinforced with ceramic fibers and particles. Moreover, we propose certain data augmentations (brightness, contrast, noise, and blur), a special in-house designed deep convolutional neural network (Triple UNet), and a multi-view forwarding strategy to promote generalized learning from synthetic data and therefore achieve successful segmentations. We obtain an overall Dice score of 0.77. Lastly, we prove the detrimental effects of artifacts in the XCT data on achieving accurate segmentations when synthetic data are employed for training the DCNNs. The methods presented in this work are applicable to other materials and imaging techniques as well. Successful segmentation coupled with neural networks trained with synthetic data will accelerate scientific output.
The stress–strain behavior of ceramics, such as aluminum titanate, has certain features that are unusual for brittle materials—in particular, a substantial nonlinearity under uniaxial tension, and load–unload hysteresis caused by the sharp increase of the incremental stiffness at the beginning of unloading. These features are observed experimentally and are attributed to microcracking. Here we compare different degrees of stress–strain nonlinearity of aluminum titanate materials and quantitatively model them. We use advanced mechanical testing to observe the mechanical response at room and high temperature; electron microscopy, and X-ray refraction radiography to observe the microstructural changes. Experiments show that two types of microcracks can be distinguished: (i) microcracks induced by cooling from the sintering temperature (due to heterogeneity and anisotropy of thermal expansion), with typical sizes of the order of grain size, and (ii) much larger microcracks generated by the mechanical loading. The two microcrack types produce different effects on the stress–strain curves. Such microcracks and the features of the stress–strain behavior depend on the density of the cooling-induced microcracks and on the distribution of grain sizes. They are modeled analytically and numerically.
The overview of the activity of Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing (BAM, Belin, Germany) in the field of additively manufacturing material characterization will be presented. The research of our group is focused on the 3D imaging of AM materials by means of X-ray Computed Tomography at the lab and at synchrotron, and the residual stress characterization by diffraction (nondestructive technique). Also, two successful research project in collaboration with CAM2, Sweden are presented.
The electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique is used to investigate the dislocation structures formed after steady-state creep deformation of an Al-3.85%Mg alloy. This material is crept at two different stress levels, corresponding to the so-called power-law and power-law breakdown regimes. The results show that, regardless of the creep stress level, the strain tends to localize, leading to the formation of intragranular bands. The thickness of such bands is larger when the material is tested at loads corresponding to the power-law breakdown. This suggests enhanced diffusion by dislocation pipes.
This study addressed a 7017 Al-alloy tailored for powder bed fusion – laser beam (PBF-LB) process. The alloy was prepared by mixing 3 wt% Zr and 0.5 wt% TiC powder to standard pre-alloyed 7017 grade aluminium powder. This made printing of the alloys possible avoiding solidification cracking in the bulk and achieving high relative density (99.8 %). Such advanced alloys have significantly higher Young’s modulus (>80 GPa) than conventional Al-alloys (70–75 GPa), thus making them attractive for applications requiring high stiffness. The resulting microstructure in as-printed condition was rich in particles originating from admixed powders and primary precipitates/inclusions originating from the PBF-LB process. After performing a T6-like heat treatment designed for the PBF-LB process, the microstructure changed: Zr-nanoparticles and Fe- or Mg/Zn- containing precipitates formed thus providing 75 % increase in yield strength (from 254 MPa to 444 MPa) at the cost of decreasing ductility (∼20 % to ∼9 %). In-situ tensile testing combined with SXCT, and ex-situ tensile testing combined with fracture analysis confirmed that the fracture initiation in both conditions is highly dependent on defects originated during printing. However, cracks are deflected from decohesion around Zr-containing inclusions/precipitates embedded in the Al-matrix. This deflection is seen to improve the ductility of the material.
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) images of extruded pure aluminum were statistically analyzed to investigate creep-induced subgrain structures after applying two different levels of creep stress, corresponding to the power law (PL) and power-law breakdown (PLB) regimes. Kernel average misorientation analysis of EBSD measurements revealed 2D morphologies, which were subdivided by a multi-step segmentation procedure into subgranular arrangements. Various descriptors were employed to characterize the “subgrains” quantitatively, including their size, shape, spatial arrangement, and crystallographic orientation. In particular, the analysis of the orientations of subgrains was conducted by neglecting rotations around the loading axis. This approach facilitated the individual investigation of the {001} and {111} subgrain families with respect to the loading axis for two investigated stress levels plus a reference specimen. For the PL regime, the statistical analysis of subgrain descriptors computed from segmented image data revealed a similar degree of strain accumulation for {111} and {001} subgrains. In contrast, for the PLB regime, the analyzed descriptors indicate that {111} subgrains tend to accumulate significantly more strain than {001} ones. These observations suggest that the mechanisms leading to PLB may be associated with strain localization dependent on intergranular stress, hindering the recovery process within {111} grains.
In the present study, in-situ observation of Hot Isostatic Pressure (HIP) procedure of laser powder bed fusion manufactured Ti-6Al-4V parts was performed to quantitatively estimate the densifcation rate of the material and the infuence of the defect initial size and shape on such rate. The observations were performed in-situ using the Ultrafast Tomography Paris-Edinburgh Cell and the combination of fast phase-contrast synchrotron X-ray tomography and energy dispersive difraction. With this strategy, we could quantify how the efectiveness of HIP depends on the characteristics of a defect. Smaller defects showed a higher densifcation rate, while the defect shape did not have signifcant efect on such rate.
Regardless of the experimental care practiced in acquiring X-ray computed tomography (XCT) data, artifacts might still exist, such as noise and blur. This is typical for fast XCT data acquisitions (e.g., in-situ investigations), or low-dose XCT. Such artifacts can complicate subsequent analysis of the data. Digital filters can moderately cure extensive artifacts. The selection of filter type, intensity, and order of application is not always straight forward. To tackle these problems, a complete sequential multilevel, multi-scale framework: BAM SynthCOND, employing newly designed deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs), was formulated. Although data conditioning with neural networks is not uncommon, the main complication is that completely artifact-free XCT data for training do not exist. Thus, training data were acquired from an in-house developed library (BAM SynthMAT) capable of generating synthetic XCT material microstructures. Some novel DCNN architectures were introduced (2D/3D ACEnet_Denoise, 2D/3D ACEnet_Deblur) along with the concept of Assertive Contrast Enhancement (ACE) training, which boosts the performance of neural networks trained with continuous loss functions. The proposed methodology accomplished very good generalization from low resemblance synthetic training data. Indeed, denoising, sharpening (deblurring), and even ring artifact removal performance were achieved on experimental post-CT scans of challenging multiphase Al-Si Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) microstructures. The conditioning efficiencies were: 92% for combined denoising/sharpening, 99% for standalone denoising, and 95% for standalone sharpening. The results proved to be independent of the artifact intensity. We believe that the novel concepts and methodology developed in this work can be directly applied on the CT projections prior to reconstruction, or easily be extended to other imaging techniques such as: Microscopy, Neutron Tomography, Ultrasonics, etc.
We discuss the non-linear stress–strain behavior of microcracked polycrystalline ceramics under uniaxial tension and compression (displacement control).
Micromechanics explanation and modeling of its basic features, such as non-linearity and hysteresis in stress–strain curves, are developed, with stable microcrack propagation and “roughness” of intergranular cracks playing critical roles in tension and crack sliding playing a critical role in compression. Experiments involving complex loading histories are explained, and themodel is shown to reproduce the basic features of the observed stress–strain curves.
