Abstract Scope |
Determination and validation of processing parameters for directed energy deposition (DED) is critical to build success but requires time, capital, and experience for each new material system and hardware configuration. To promote effective parameter development, a framework was developed for statistical optimization of a wire-arc DED process using nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) feedstock and demonstrated to achieve an optimized set of processing parameters. Findings from the optimization trial including evaluation of optimization and process modeling approaches as well as the quantitative metrics employed will be presented. A demonstrative article was generated using the optimized condition for comparison to trial conditions. The described framework is intended to be tailorable based on process, material, and application requirements through selection of process inputs, defined analytical criteria, and experimental geometry investigated. |
