| Abstract Scope |
The layerwise approach of additive manufacturing processes (AM) provides an opportunity to fully embed sensing components into a priori designed internal cavities to enable direct fabrication of intelligent parts. While this has been demonstrated in polymer AM, this is rarely demonstrated in metal AM processes due to their extreme processing conditions (e.g., high temperatures, intense laser irradiation, molten metal, electric arcs, etc.). In this work, the authors demonstrate a novel hybrid Additive Friction Stir Deposition (AFSD) process that fully encapsulates sensor packages within metal components. To ensure sensor survival and sufficient repair of the embedding interfaces, in-situ process monitoring of tool temperature and down force provides insight into embedding design guidelines. The mechanical performance of the final instrumented and embedded component as well as the metallurgy of its stir interface is characterized. The methodology is used to fabricate a metal part capable of sensing strain and temperature. |
