Using Laser Ultrasound to Detect Subsurface Defects in Metal Laser Powder Bed Fusion Components
2018
Overview
Laser powder bed fusion offers many advantages over conventional manufacturing methods, such as the integration of multiple parts that can result in significant weight-savings. The increased design freedom that layer-wise manufacture allows has also been seen to enhance component performance at little or no added cost. For such benefits to be realized, however, the material quality must first be assured. Laser ultrasonic testing is a noncontact inspection technique that has been proposed as suitable for in situ monitoring of metal additive manufacturing processes. This article explores the current capability of this technique to detect manufactured, subsurface defects in Ti-6Al-4V samples, ex situ. The results are compared with x-ray computed tomography reconstructions and focus variation microscopy. Although laser ultrasound has been used to identify material discontinuities, further work is required before this technique could be implemented in situ.
