研究目的
To demonstrate the use of high speed camera videos for in-situ monitoring of L-PBF of nickel alloy 625 to detect spatter and over melting regions to improve the process control capability.
研究成果
Temporal principal component analysis provides monitoring of meltpool area and spatial vectorised principal component analysis provides monitoring of spattered location during LPBF process. A statistical and definition of overmelting have been provided. A temporal analysis model has been given to predict the location and the time of the next overmelting. Such statistical analysis can be used for process monitoring to ensure consistency in part quality for long term production.
研究不足
The study is limited by the range of temperatures that can be reliably calculated by the thermal camera (600 °C to 1380 °C for emissivity value of ε=0.2). Temperatures outside this range should be treated with caution.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involves the use of high-speed video imaging for in-situ monitoring of the L-PBF process to analyze meltpool size and spattering behavior. Principal component analysis and T2 statistical descriptor are used for temporal-spatial analysis of video images.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Square layers with 256 mm2 surface area processed in powder bed (Inconel 625 material with 35 μm average particle size) using EOS M270 type LPBF machine.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
EOS M270 type LPBF machine, high-speed camera (Photron), thermal camera (IFR 1,800 fps at 360 × 128 pixels), Inconel 625 material.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Laser parameters and layer-wise scan strategy are used to process the powder material. High-speed camera videos are recorded for in-situ monitoring.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Principal component analysis and T2 statistical descriptor are applied to the video images for temporal-spatial analysis to identify meltpool and spatter regions.
