Active thermography for quality assurance of 3D-printed polymer structures (2019)
Metz, Christian ; Franz, Philipp ; Fischer, C. ; Wachtendorf, Volker ; Maierhofer, Christiane
Additively manufactured test specimens made of polyamide 12 (PA 12) by Laser Sintering as well as of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) by Fused Layer Modelling, were characterised with active thermography directly after manufacturing and after artificial weathering. For this, two different excitation methods (flash and pulse heating) were used and compared, regarding their suitability for the detection of constructed and imprinted defects inside the test specimens. To increase the quality of the thermograms, data processing methods like thermal signal reconstruction (TSR) and Fourier Transformation after TSR were applied. To further investigate the long-term stability of the additively manufactured test specimens towards environmental stress, like UV radiation, heat, humidity, water contact and frost with active thermography, an artificial weathering test over 2000 hours (~3 months) was applied to the specimens. The monitoring of the changes in the optical properties of the weathered plastics was supplemented by spectral reflectance and UV/VIS spectroscopy.
Structured heating in active thermography by using laser arrays (2018)
Thiel, Erik
Lock-in- and flash thermography are standard methods in active thermography. They are widely used in industrial inspection tasks e.g. for the detection of delaminations, cracks or pores. The requirements for the light sources of these two methods are substantially different. While lock-in thermography requires sources that can be easily and above all fast modulated, the use of flash thermography requires sources that release a very high optical energy in the very short time. By introducing high-power vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) arrays to the field of thermography a source is now available that covers these two areas. VCSEL arrays combine the fast temporal behavior of a diode laser with the high optical irradiance and the wide illumination range of flash lamps or LEDs and can thus potentially replace all conventional light sources of thermography. However, the main advantage of this laser technology lies in the independent control of individual array areas. It is therefore possible to heat not only in terms of time, but also in terms of space. This new degree of freedom allows the development of new NDT methods. We demonstrate this approach using a test problem that can only be solved to a limited extent in active thermography, namely the detection of very thin, hidden defects in metallic materials that are aligned vertically to the surface. For this purpose, we generate destructively interfering thermal wave fields, which make it possible to detect defects within the range of the thermal wave field high sensitivity. This is done without pre-treatment of the surface and without using a reference area to depths beyond the usual thermographic rule of thumb.
Quantification of impact damages in CFRP and GFRP structures with thermography and ultrasonics (2018)
Maierhofer, Christiane ; Krankenhagen, Rainer ; Röllig, Mathias ; Heckel, Thomas ; Brackrock, Daniel ; Gaal, Mate
The extent of damage caused by impacts in fibre reinforced composites depends on the energy of the impacts, on the velocity and the shape of the impacting body, on the material and structure of the composite and on the geometry of the structure. Here, mainly the thickness of the component is essential. The non-destructive evaluation of these damages can be carried out using both ultrasound and active thermography methods. A comparison of the detection sensitivity of these methods for the different damages is carried out in this paper depending on the fibre composite material used (CFRP and GFRP), the thickness of the material and the impact energy. The NDT methods used after the damage are supplemented by thermographic measurements with high temporal resolution, which were already recorded during the impact.
Active thermography for quality assurance of 3D-printed polymer structures (2018)
Metz, Christian ; Franz, Philipp ; Fischer, C. ; Wachtendorf, Volker ; Maierhofer, Christiane
Additively manufactured test specimens made of polyamide 12 (PA 12) by Laser Sintering (LS) as well as of acrylnitril-butadien-styrol (ABS) by Fused Layer Modeling (FLM), were tested with active thermography. For this, two different excitation methods (flash and impulse excitation) were used and compared, regarding the suitability for the detection of constructed and imprinted defects. To increase the quality of the thermograms, data processing methods like thermal signal reconstruction (TSR) and Fourier-Transformation were applied. Furthermore, the long-term stability of the probes towards environmental stress, like UV-radiation, heat, water contact and frost is being investigated in the presented project with artificial weathering tests.
Active thermography for quality assurance of 3D-printed polymer structures (2018)
Metz, Christian
Active thermography with flash and halogen light excitation is used as a method for non-destructive testing of 3D-printed polymer components. Test specimens with artificial defects have been generated, using laser sintering and fused layer modeling. These test specimens have been investigated in different measurement configurations with both excitation methods. Afterwards, the different measurement conditions were compared regarding their capability to detect the defects. Furthermore, advanced analysis methods are used, to fully exploit the capabilities of these techniques.
Evaluation of different techniques of active thermography for quantification of artificial defects in fiber-reinforced composites using thermal and phase contrast data analysis (2018)
Maierhofer, Christiane ; Röllig, Mathias ; Gower, M. ; Lodeiro, M. ; Baker, G. ; Monte, C. ; Adibekyan, A. ; Gutschwager, B. ; Knazowicka, L. ; Blahut, A.
For assuring the safety and reliability of components and constructions in energy applications made of fiber-reinforced polymers (e.g., blades of wind turbines and tidal power plants, engine chassis, flexible oil and gas pipelines) innovative non-destructive testing methods are required. Within the European Project VITCEA complementary methods (shearography, microwave, ultrasonics and thermography) have been further developed and validated. Together with partners from the industry, test specimens have been constructed and selected on-site containing different artificial and natural defect artefacts. As base materials, carbon and glass fibers in different orientations and layering embedded in different matrix materials (epoxy, polyamide) have been considered. In this contribution, the validation of flash and lock-in thermography to these testing problems is presented. Data analysis is based on thermal contrasts and phase evaluation techniques. Experimental data are compared to analytical and numerical models. Among others, the influence of two different types of artificial defects (flat bottom holes and delaminations) with varying diameters and depths and of two different materials (CFRP and GFRP) with unidirectional and quasi-isotropic fiber alignment is discussed.
Novel thermographic methods for non-destructive testing using structured illumination (2017)
Thiel, Erik
Photothermal imaging is commonly used for the characterization of material properties, the determination of layer thicknesses or the detection of inhomogeneities such as voids or cracks. For this purpose, the solid specimen is externally heated, e.g. by using a light source. The resulting transient heat flows interact with the inner structures of the specimen, which in turn is measured as a transient temperature distribution at the surface. Novel array-shaped, high-power laser light sources allow to control the heating of the surface arbitrarily, both temporally and spatially. This enables us to shape the heat flows within the material in a very specific way. In a first application, we demonstrate how to apply destructively interfering thermal wave fields in order to detect subsurface defects with a very high sensitivity. A similar technique, although originating from a very different physical domain, is already in use for medical 3D imaging showing the high potential of this approach.
A multi-parameter probability of detection (POD) model for flash thermography (2017)
Maierhofer, Christiane
In most cases where a POD is calculated based on continuous data obtained by active thermography, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal, the difference of the defect signal to the background or the absolute signal is analyzed as a function of the aspect ratio (ratio of the size of a defect to its overage), although a distinct linear relationship on a linear or logarithmic scale could not be satisfactorily shown and is also not expected. Therefore, a multi-parameter probability of detection (POD) model was developed, where an â versus a continuous signal analysis was based on the linear relationship between the SNR and a multi-parameter a. This POD model is based on data which were recorded within a flash thermography round robin test with nine participants. Metal test specimens with flat bottom holes (FBHs) were analyzed by calculating the SNR of the defect signatures in the thermograms as well as in the phase images as a function of defect parameters. The linear relationship of the experimental data to the multi-parameter a was verified by comparison to data obtained from an analytical model that is considering lateral thermal heat diffusion as well as to data obtained by numerical simulation. The resulting POD curves for the thermograms and phase images give an estimation for the detectability of the FBHs with known geometry in steel using different equipment and obtained by different participants. By comparing the SNRs of FBHs with similar geometries, this POD model was transferred to aluminum and copper as well.

For assuring the safety and reliability of components and constructions in energy applications made of fiber reinforced polymers (e. g. blades of wind turbines and tidal power plants, engine chassis, flexible oil and gas pipelines) innovative non-destructive testing methods are required. Within the EMRP project VITCEA complementary methods (shearography, microwave, ultrasonics and thermography) are further developed and validated.

As base materials, carbon and glass fibers in different orientations and layering embedded in different matrix materials (epoxy, polyamide) were considered. In this contribution, the validation of different techniques of active thermography like flash, step heating and lock-in thermography to these testing problems is presented. Experimental data are compared to analytical and numerical models. Among others shows that although flash and lock-in thermography have the same detectability of flat bottom holes in the phase images, the detectability of delaminations is different. In another example, it is demonstrated that for GFRP, the transmissivity of the material has to be considered for the quantitative data analysis.
