For metal-based additive manufacturing, sensors and measuring systems for monitoring of the energy source, the build volume, the melt pool and the component geometry are already commercially available. Further methods of optics, spectroscopy and non-destructive testing are described in the literature as suitable for in-situ application, but there are only a few reports on practical implementations.
Therefore, a new BAM project aims to develop process monitoring methods for the in-situ evaluation of the quality of additively manufactured metal components. In addition to passive and active thermography, this includes optical tomography, optical emission and absorption spectroscopy, eddy current testing, laminography, X-ray backscattering and photoacoustic methods. These methods are used in additive manufacturing systems for selective laser melting, laser metal deposition and wire arc additive manufacturing. To handle the sometimes huge amounts of data, algorithms for efficient preprocessing are developed and characteristics of the in-situ data are extracted and correlated to defects and inhomogeneities, which are determined using reference methods such as computer tomography and metallography. This process monitoring and fusion of data of different measurement techniques should result in a significant reduction of costly and time-consuming, destructive or non-destructive tests after the production of the component and at the same time reduce the production of scrap.
Here, first results of simultaneous measurements of optical emission spectroscopy and thermography during the laser metal deposition process using 316L as building material are presented. Temperature values are extracted from spectroscopic data by fitting of blackbody emission spectra to the experimental data and compared with results from a thermographic camera. Measurements with and without powder flow reveal significant differences between welding at a pristine metal surface and previously melted positions on the build plate, illustrating the significant influence of the partial oxidation of the surface during the first welding process on subsequent welding. The measurement equipment can either be mounted stationary or following the laser path. While first results were obtained in the stationary mode, future applications for online monitoring of the build of whole parts in the mobile mode are planned.
This research was funded by BAM within the focus area Material.
The project ProMoAM is presented. The goal of the project is to evaluate which NDT techniques or combination of techniques is suited for in-situ quality assurance in additive manufacturing of metals. To this end, also 3d-data fusion and visualization techniques are applied. Additional ex-situ NDT-techniques are used as references for defect detection and quantification. Feasability studies for NDT-techniques that are presently not applicable for in-situ use are performed as well.
The presentation gives a brief overview of the whole project and the different involved NDT-techniques.
The Influence of the Temperature Gradient on the Distribution of Residual Stresses in AM AISI 316L
(2019)
Steep temperature gradients and solidification shrinkage are the main contributors to the formation of residual stresses in additively manufactured metallic parts produced by laser beam melting. The aim of this work was to determine the influence of the temperature gradient.
Diffraction results show a similar pattern for both specimens, indicating the shrinkage to be more dominant for the distribution of residual stresses than the temperature gradient. Thermography results imply that a higher energy input result in higher compressive residual stresses in the bulk.
µCT is used to validate the capability of online monitoring for in-situ detection of defects during the L-PBF build process, which is a focus of the TF project ProMoAM.
Our first experiments show that online monitoring using thermography and optical tomography cameras are able to detect defects in the built part. But further research is needed to understand root cause of the correlation.
Despite of the significant advances in additive manufacturing (AM) process optimization there is still a lack of experimental results and understanding regarding the mechanical behavior and its relationship with the microstructural features of AM-parts, especially in loading conditions typical for safety-relevant applications. Within the scope of the presented ongoing investigations, a basic microstructural characterization, tensile tests at room and elevated temperature (400°C) as well as a characterization of the fatigue behavior of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V in the low cycle fatigue regime are carried out in the as-built state. After failure, different techniques are used to describe the failure mechanisms of the specimens. The AM-Specimens are provided by the Fraunhofer institute for production systems and design technology and investigated at the BAM following the philosophy of the TF-Project AGIL.
The paper deals with the integration of a light emitting diode (LED) into an additive manufactured metal component. Selective laser melting (SLM) and laser metal deposition (LMD) are used. The material used is the chrome-nickel steel 316L. The basic component is manufactured by means of SLM and consists of a solid body and an area with grid structure. The solid body includes a duct in the shape of a groove with a recess for the positioning of the power cable. The LED is embedded in the grid structure via an inlet from the solid body. In further processing, the groove is filled with LMD. Two strategies with different parameter combinations were investigated. It shows that a high energy input near the power cable leads to its destruction. By using multiple parameter combinations during the manufacturing process, this destruction can be prevented. There was a comparison of both strategies with regard to the necessary number of tracks and duration of welding time.

Laserhybridschweißen von dickwandigen Stählen mit elektromagnetischer Schmelzbadunterstützung
(2019)
Die steigenden Anforderungen in Hinsicht auf Sicherheitsfaktoren von gefügten Bauteilen führen zu einer Zunahme der zu schweißenden Bauteildicken. Das Laserstrahl-Lichtbogen-Hybridschweißverfahren – verbreitet im industriellen Einsatz vor allem im Schiffs- und Windkraftanlagenbau – ermöglicht das einlagige Fügen von dickwandigen Strukturen. Eine Herausforderung stellt das Schweißen von dickwandigen Bauteilen mit reduzierter Geschwindigkeit in Wannenlage (PA-Position) da. Sie ist aufgrund des erhöhten hydrostatischen Druckes und die daraus resultierenden Tropfenbildung an der Wurzelseite bedingt realisierbar. Die im Rahmen dieser Studie eingesetzte elektromagnetische Schmelzbadunterstützung wirkt dem gravitationsbedingten Austropfen der Schmelze entgegen und kompensiert den hydrostatischen Druck. Dabei werden unterhalb der Schweißzone mit Hilfe eines extern angelegten oszillierenden Magnetfeldes Wirbelströme im Werkstück induziert, die eine nach oben gerichtete Lorentzkraft erzeugt. Die Lorentzkraft wirkt dem hydrostatischen Druck entgegen und stellt einen sicheren Schweißprozess ohne Tropfenbildung dar. Mit dem Hybridschweißverfahren mithilfe der elektromagnetischen Schmelzbadunterstützung gelingt es mit einem 20-kW Faserlaser bis zu 30 mm dicke Bleche in einer Lage zu schweißen. Bei 25 mm dicken einlagig geschweißten Platten aus S355 konnte ein Spalt bis 1 mm und ein Kantenversatz bis zu 2 mm sicher überbrückt werden. Die Reduzierung der Schweißgeschwindigkeit hat eine Verringerung der notwendigen Laserleistung zur Folge und begünstigt außerdem die mechanisch-technologischen Eigenschaften, infolge der reduzierten Abkühlgeschwindigkeit. Durch die geringe Martensitbildung führt dies zu einer Verbesserung der Kerbschlagzähigkeit.
Der vorgestellte Modellierungsprozess dient zur Abschätzung einer geeigneten äquivalenten Wärmequelle und Berechnung des thermischen Verhaltens beim Laserstrahlschweißen. Die Methode Kombiniert die Vorteile von gägngigen Simulationsverfahren und reduziert die berücksichtigte Anzahl an physikalischen Aspekten und Kalibrierungsparameter. Durch die modellierten physikalischen Phänomene konnten die Informationen über die Strömung im Schmelzbad und dessen Einfluss auf die resultierende lokale Temperaturverteilung und folglich auf das transiente Temperaturfeld gewonnen werden. Dadurch wurde die Simulatioszeit(inkl. Kalibrierungsaufwand) auf weniger als einen Tag Rechenzeit verringert.
