In recent years, additive manufacturing technologies have gained in importance. Laser powder bed fusion can be used for complex functional components or the production of workpieces in small quantities. High safety requirements, e.g. in aerospace, demand comprehensive quality control. Therefore, non-destructive offline inspection methods such as computed tomography are used after production. Recently, online non-destructive testing methods such as optical tomography have been developed to improve profitability and practicality. In this presentation, the applicability of eddy current inspection using GMR sensors for online inspection of PBF-LB/M parts is demonstrated. Eddy current testing is performed for each layer during the production process at frequencies uo to 1.2 MHz. Despite the use of high-resolution arrays with 128 elements, the testing time is kept low by an adapted hardware. Thus, the measurement can be performed during the manufacturing process without significantly slowing down the production process. In addition to the approach, the results of an online eddy current test of a step-shaped test specimen made of Haynes282 are presented.
With rising popularity and availability of additive manufacturing (AM), companies mainly in the aerospace sector, set high requirements on quality control of AM parts, especially produced with selective laser melting (SLM). Since it was shown that those parts are prawn to flaws like pores or cracks, every part needs to be tested. Therefore, NDT Methods, like eddy current testing (ET), could help to characterize SLM parts. Research on ET has shown, that offline ET with high spatial resolution MR (magneto resistive) sensor arrays is possible and that flaws as small as 50 µm could be detected while significantly reducing testing time. A first approach on automated online ET method for testing SLM parts is proposed in this contribution.
