MAE Seminar Series: “Process monitoring and modeling techniques for quality prediction and digital twin expansion in metal additive manufacturing”

January 20, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

Abstract:

Metal additive manufacturing (m-AM) process that can produce fully dense 3D structures with complex geometry using difficult-to-process metal powder or wire feedstock. Emphasis is being put on in-process monitoring and control to strengthen the quality control standard and development of digital twin for the next generation of commercial AM machines. The digital twin for m-AM is under development by unifying all simulation models (physics-based, physics-informed, data-driven, surrogate etc.) integrated with the sensory observations for bi-directional data flow powered by machine learning. Understanding the applicability of sensor integration into m-AM operation for commercial machines is critical. Furthermore, optimization of sensing techniques for m-AM environment will be crucial for better quality control. The built quality is characterized by detecting not only complex geometry but also anomalies and defects using non-destructive sensors and intelligent techniques by processing large point clouds. In-situ monitoring data are available as streaming signals, images, and videos during m-AM. In this talk, process monitoring investigations will be presented for detecting meltpool size, spattering particles, and cooling rates during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process.  This presentation will also present physics-based simulation modeling for predicting the thermal field solution and molten pool geometry in L-PBF process for several popular metal powders. The numerical solution approaches that are practical and fast for computing thermal analysis and suitable for digital twin expansion in metal AM will be discussed. The talk will also present issues in microstructural refinement in wire-fed directed energy deposition (DED). High cooling rates of m-AM processes often lead to an almost exclusively columnar grains microstructure, which can result in undesirable mechanical properties. This issue can be addressed by adding of potent nuclei or a solute that promotes constitutional supercooling. A brief overview of physics-based simulation of solidification microstructure using phase field and cellular automata methods will be given for nucleation and grain refinement.

Tune in at 10 a.m. Friday, January 20, 2022 to watch live.
