Additive manufacturing by laser metal deposition (LMD) requires continuous online monitoring to ensure quality of printed parts. Optical emission spectroscopy (OES) is proposed for the online detection of printing defects by monitoring minute variations in the temperature of a printed spot during laser scan. A two-lens optical system is attached to a moving laser head and focused on a molten pool created on a substrate during LMD. The light emitted by the pool is collected by an ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectrometer and processed.
Two metrics are used to monitor variations in the surface temperature: the spectrally integrated emission intensity and correlation coefficient. The variations in the temperature are introduced by artificial defects, shallow grooves, and holes of various widths and diameters carved on a substrate surface. The metrics show sufficient sensitivity for revealing the surface defects, except for the smallest
holes with an under-millimeter diameter. Additionally, numeric simulations are carried out for the detection of emission in the UV–vis and near-infrared (NIR) spectral ranges at various surface temperatures. It is concluded that both the metrics perform better in the NIR range. In general, this work demonstrates that spectrally resolved OES suits well for monitoring surface defects during 3D metal
printing.
Vor allem in den letzten Jahren ist das Interesse der Industrie an der additiven Fertigung deutlich gestiegen. Die Vorteile dieser Verfahren sind zahlreich und ermöglichen eine ressourcenschonende, kundenorientierte Fertigung von Bauteilen, welche zur stetigen Entwicklung neue Anwendungsbereiche und Werkstoffe führen. Aufgrund der steigenden Anwendungsfälle, nimmt auch der Wunsch nach Betriebssicherheit unabhängig von anschließenden kostenintensiven zerstörenden und zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren zu. Zu diesem Zweck werden im Rahmen des von der BAM durchgeführten Themenfeldprojektes „Prozessmonitoring in Additive Manufacturing“ verschiedenste Verfahren auf ihre Tauglichkeit für den in-situ Einsatz bei der Prozessüberwachung in der additiven Fertigung untersucht. Hier werden drei dieser in-situ Verfahren, die Thermografie, die optische Emissionsspektroskopie und die Schallmissionsanalyse für den Einsatz beim Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen betrachtet.
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and principal component analysis (PCA) are frequently used for analytical purposes in research and industry, but they seldom are part of the chemistry Curriculum or laboratory exercises. This case study paper describes the combined application of LIBS and PCA during a research internship for an undergraduate student. The instructional method applied was based on a one-on-one mentorship, in which case the learner was engaged in a Research work. The learning activities included theoretical introductions to the LIBS and PCA methods, numerical simulation, experiments, and data analysis.
The study covered three main topics: analysis of LIBS spectra, application of PCA for clustering, and use of PCA for experimental design. The realization of the study was instructive for all parties involved: from the mentorship point of view, it is concluded that the topics can be covered during an internship or developed into a one semester long research-based module of a chemistry program or a final year project. The student, on the other hand, developed profound technical skills in performing experiments and using PCA software for data analysis.
Laser metal deposition is a rapidly evolving method for additive manufacturing that combines high performance and simplified production routine. Quality of production depends on instrumental design and operational parameters that require constant control during the process. In this work, feasibility of using optical spectroscopy as a control method is studied via modeling and experimentally. A simplified thermal model is developed based on the time-dependent diffusion-conduction heat equation and geometrical light collection into detection optics. Intense light emitted by a laser-heated spot moving across a sample surface is collected and processed to yield the temperature and other temperature-related parameters. In a presence of surface defects the temperature field is distorted in a specific manner that depends on a shape and size of the defect. Optical signals produced by such the distorted temperature fields are simulated and verified experimentally using a 3D metal printer and a sample with artificially carved defects. Three quantities are tested as possible metrics for process monitoring: temperature, integral intensity, and correlation coefficient. The shapes of the simulated signals qualitatively agree with the experimental signals; this allows a cautious inference that optical spectroscopy is capable of detecting a defect and, possibly, predicting its character, e.g. inner or protruding.

Processes of laser induced oxidation of metals are typically studied in the framework of heterogeneous chemical reactions occurring on the irradiated surface, which lead to the formation of dense oxide films deposited on it. Such technology has many applications like color-laser marking technology and laser recording on thin metal films for creation of diffractive optical elements . Under the conditions of strong laser ablation, another oxidation mechanism becomes possible: evaporated atoms react with oxygen in a surrounding atmosphere and the products of such reaction are redeposited back onto the substrate. The chemical and phase composition of such deposited layer, its density, morphology and structure depend on the conditions of laser ablation. By varying these conditions, the main properties of such coating can be controlled that is important for some potential application (for example in biomedicine).
In our report we present the study of the processes of redeposition of oxides structure under the conditions of multipulse nanosecond laser ablation of titanium (Grade 2) in air atmosphere at normal conditions. Our experiments show that titanium-implants with such deposited oxide layer have increased biocompatibility.
Modelling of chemical reaction in laser-induced plasma coupled with experimental methods of plasma optical emission spectroscopy allows us to determine the types of main chemical reactions in laser plasma as well as it influences on the plume dynamics and vapor condensation kinetics. As a result, we propose the general physical picture of reverse deposition of oxides structure under the condition of strong nanosecond laser ablation. The formation of the titanium oxide precipitate is explained not only by collisions in the plasma, but also by the chemical interaction of titanium and oxygen, which leads to the formation of а low pressure area near the substrate and additionally stimulates the reverse deposition of oxides. We expect, similar processes are valid not only for titanium but also for other metals and, possibly, semiconductors.
Im Rahmen des Themenfeldprojektes „Process Monitoring of AM“ (ProMoAM) evaluiert die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -Prüfung (BAM) gegenwärtig die Anwendbarkeit verschiedenster ZfP-Verfahren zur in-situ Prozessüberwachung in der additiven Fertigung (AM) von Metallen in Hinblick auf die Qualitätssicherung.
Einige der wichtigsten Messgrößen sind hierbei die Temperatur des Schmelzbades und die Abkühlrate, welche starken Einfluss auf das Gefüge und die Eigenspannung haben. Aufgrund der Zugänglichkeit zum Werkstück während des Bauprozesses bieten sich optische Verfahren zu Temperaturbestimmung an. Hierbei stellen jedoch u. a. die hohe Bandbreite der zu messenden Temperaturen, die Bestimmung der Emissivität und ihre Änderung bei Phasenübergängen der verwendeten Legierung große experimentelle Herausforderungen dar. Eine weitere Herausforderung stellt für die IR-Spektroskopie die Absorption durch das Schutzgas und weitere optische Elemente dar. Um diese auch in einem industriellen Umfeld kompensieren zu können, wurde eine Methode entwickelt, die das gemessene Spektrum bei der Verfestigung des Werkstoffes als Referenz nutzt. In diesem Beitrag wird die Anwendung dieser Methode für die IR-Spektrometrie als auch Thermografische Messungen beim Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen von 316L gezeigt, wobei beide Methoden weiterhin in Hinblick auf ihre individuellen Vor- und
Nachteile miteinander verglichen werden.
Spatiotemporal spectroscopic characterization of plasmas induced by non-orthogonal laser ablation
(2020)
Ablation geometry significantly affects the plasma parameters and the consequent spectroscopic observations in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Nevertheless, plasmas induced by laser ablation under inclined incidence angles are studied to a significantly lesser extent compared to plasmas induced by standard orthogonal ablation. However, inclined ablation is prominent in stand-off applications, such as the Curiosity Mars rover, where the orthogonality of the ablation laser pulse cannot be always secured.
Thus, in this work, we characterize non-orthogonal ablation plasmas by applying plasma imaging, tomography, and spectral measurements. We confirm earlier observations according to which non-orthogonal ablation leads to a laser-induced plasma that consists of two distinct parts: one expanding primarily along the incident laser pulse and one expanding along the normal of the sample surface. Moreover, we confirm that the former emits mainly continuum radiation, while the latter emits mainly sample-specific characteristic radiation. We further investigate and compare the homogeneity of the plasmas and report that inclined ablation affects principally the ionic emissivity of laser-induced plasmas. Overall, our results imply that the decreased fluence resulting from inclined angle ablation and the resulting inhomogeneities of the plasmas must be considered for quantitative LIBS employing non-orthogonal ablation.
We run two pilot LIP experiments in reactive gas mixtures. First, LIP is excited in BCl3 or BF3 plus H2 or CH4 to evaluate the efficiency of deposition of solid boron and boron carbide, materials that are largely used for refractory coatings. Second, we investigate a possibility of synthesis of fluorochlorosilanes SiFxCl4-x (x = 1, 2, 3) by LIP induced in SiF4+SiCl4 gas mixtures. Using fluorochlorosilanes with different combinations of F and Cl in the SiFxCly molecule may add flexibility in processes of silicon deposition and etching. The gases used and solid deposits are analyzed by optical emission spectroscopy (OES) and IR and mass spectrometry (MS). We also model the laser induced plasma by performing static equilibrium chemistry calculations to see whether desired reaction products are thermodynamically favorable and dynamic calculations of the expanding plasma plume to see how and where the products form.
Tetrafluorosilane (SF4) and tetrachlorosilane (SiCl4) plasmas have been widely used as a source of either F or Cl for etching silicon or as a source of silicon for deposition of Si-based materials.
Using different combinations of F and Cl in molecules of chlorofluorosilane SiFxCly adds additional flexibility in realization of these processes. Direct synthesis of SiFxCl4-x (x=1, 2, 3) from SiF4 and SiCl4 is thermodynamically forbidden under standard conditions. This restriction is removed in low-temperature plasmas studied in this work: a laser induced dielectric breakdown (LIDB) plasma and steady-state inductively-coupled plasma (ICP). The plasmas differ in many respects including energy content, temperature, and electron density that lead to different ionization/excitation states of plasma species, which are observed from plasma optical emission spectra. IR spectroscopy and mass-spectrometry confirm the formation of three chlorofluorosilanes, SiF3Cl, SiF2Cl2, and SiFCl3 that constitute ~60% in products of LIDB plasma and split 50/50 between SiF3Cl, SiFCl3 and SiF2Cl2. Experimental observations are verified by equilibrium static calculations via the minimization of Gibbs free energy and by dynamic calculations via the chemical-hydrodynamic plasma model of a spherically expanding plasma plume. The both types of calculations qualitatively agree with the results of spectroscopic
analysis and reproduce dominant presence of SiF2Cl2 as the temperature of the gas approaches the room temperature.
