Für die Prozessüberwachung in der additiven Fertigung (AM) werden Sensoren und Messsysteme zur Kontrolle der Energiequelle, des Bauraums, des Schmelzbades und der Bauteilgeometrie zumindest im metallbasierten AM schon kommerziell angeboten. Weitere Verfahren der Optik, Spektroskopie und zerstörungsfreien Prüfung werden in der Literatur als geeignet für die in-situ Anwendung bezeichnet, es finden sich aber nur wenige Berichte über konkrete praktische Umsetzungen.
Ein neues Projekt der BAM im Themenfeld Material hat daher das Ziel, Verfahren des Prozessmonitorings zur in-situ Bewertung der Qualität additiv gefertigter Metallbauteile in AM-Prozessen mit Laser- bzw. Lichtbogenquellen zu entwickeln. Dies beinhaltet neben passiver und aktiver Thermografie die optische Tomografie, die optische Emissionsspektroskopie, die Wirbelstromprüfung, die Laminografie, die Röntgenrückstreuung und photoakustische Verfahren. Diese Verfahren werden in verschiedenen AM-Systemen zum selektiven Laserschmelzen, zum Laser-Pulver-Auftragsschweißen und zum Lichtbogenschweißen mit Drahtzuführung zum Einsatz gebracht. Für die zum Teil sehr großen Datenmengen werden Algorithmen für ein effizientes Preprocessing entwickelt und Merkmale der Messdaten in Korrelation zu Fehlern und Inhomogenitäten extrahiert, welche mit Referenzverfahren wie Computertomografie und Ultraschall-Tauchtechnik ermittelt werden. Die Ergebnisse der Einzelverfahren werden fusioniert und mit den Fertigungsparametern korreliert. Diese Prozessüberwachung soll eine deutliche Reduzierung aufwändiger und zeitintensiver, zerstörender oder zerstörungsfreier Prüfungen nach der Fertigung des Bauteiles und zugleich eine Verringerung von Ausschussproduktion bewirken.
Im Beitrag wird zunächst das Projekt als Ganzes vorgestellt und dann der Fokus auf die Thermografie mit Detektoren in verschiedenen Wellenlängenbereichen gelegt. Anforderungen an die Messtechnik für verschiedene AM-Systeme werden diskutiert und experimentelle Ergebnisse im Vergleich zur optischen Tomografie und weiterer Verfahren präsentiert.
The present study deals with the experimental characterization of short crack propagation in SLM (selective-laser-melting) manufactured stainless steel. More specifically, the determination of cyclic R-curves is discussed. This describes the dependency of the crack propagation threshold on crack growth during the short crack propagation stage. For metals, the threshold, starting at a material-intrinsic value, increases until it reaches a value independent of the crack length due to crack closure phenomena which build up at that stage. The cyclic R-curve, when used in the frame of a cyclic R curve analysis, characterizes the resistance of a material to fatigue crack growth and the ability to arrest a physically short crack. Thus, it is the link between classical fatigue and fracture mechanics. In the high-cycle-fatigue range, the short crack propagation stage dominates the overall lifetime, i.e., the number of cycles until failure. Below the fatigue limit crack arrest of hitherto propagable micro-cracks will occur. The effort for the experimental characterization of the short fatigue crack propagation behavior and the cyclic R-curve is very high compared to experiments on long crack propagation. A very exact measurement of crack extension is required, since small increments need to be depicted. Pre-cracking must leave a closure free initial crack, since closure must be build up only by the cyclic R-curve. The closure-free status is achieved by compression pre-cracking. The aim of the present study is an insight into the influence of an AM process on the short crack propagation threshold. Cyclic R-curves are experimentally determined at different load-ratios for 316L austenitic steel specimens produced by SLM and conventional manufacturing. Residual stresses are measured in the crack plane and their influence on the cyclic R-curve is discussed.

The assessment of high cycle fatigue in additive manufactured (AM) components is a challenge due to complex microstructure, anisotropic material behavior, residual stresses and porosity / lack-of-fusion defects. Due to the statistical distribution of defects, a high scatter band of S-N-curves is expected. The fracture mechanics-based fatigue assessment of additive manufactured components must consider the propagation of short cracks emanating from defects.
In this work, the fatigue crack propagation resistance in the short and large crack regimes of additive and conventionally manufactured AISI 316L stainless steel is examined experimentally based on the cyclic R-curve. However, remaining residual stresses in the AM specimen lead to unexpected and dramatic crack-growth during the pre-cracking procedure.
