| Abstract Scope |
Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) holds the potential to revolutionise many traditional production, research, and design industries. Before AM achieves widespread adoption, however, greater understanding is required of the relationship between parameter selection, and micro/meso-structural material response. This work has encompassed the fields of: designing analytical models that accurately predict melting modes; creating end-user parameter selection tools; mapping thermographic signatures to build defects detected by XCT; studying the analogousness of test pieces to complex, real-world geometries; and bypassing the need for emissivity measurements in process monitoring. Results and conclusions offer a deeper insight into cause-effect relationships in metal AM. This work was supported by Boeing, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council UK [EP/S022635/1], and Manufacturing using Advanced Powder Processes [EP/R512175/1]. XCT data was collected at the ESRF under experiments MA-5702 and MA-5486. |
