| Abstract Scope |
Solid-state Friction Stir Additive Manufacturing has recently gained attention as a result of its capacity to fabricate large-scale parts while preserving mechanical properties of the feedstock material. However, the correlation between the quality of layer-by-layer bonding of the deposited metal and processing parameters has remained unknown. Neutron and X-ray imaging techniques are employed for Al6061 parts fabricated by MELDŽ Technology as a non-destructive evaluation approach to investigate the layer-by-layer structure of a MELD part in different sections. The post-processed results show the fabricated parts with an optimized set of processing parameters are void-free. The local temperature effect during fabrication was detected by Neutron/X-ray testing. |
