Multilayer direct laser deposition (DLD) is a fabrication process through which parts are fabricated by creating molten pool into metal powder injected as particles. During fabrication, complex thermal activity occurs in different regions of the build; for example, newly deposited layers will reheat previously layers. The objective this study was to provide insight that during DLD process. This work focused on effect parameters microstructure and mechanical properties order characterize...

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) is gaining increasing attention from academia and industry due to its unique advantages compared the traditional process. Parts quality inspection playing a crucial role in AM industry, which can be adopted for product improvement. However, process has relied on manual recognition, could suffer low efficiency potential bias. This study presented convolutional neural network (CNN) approach toward robust inspection, such as good quality, crack, gas porosity,...

In this work, functionally graded materials of Stainless Steel 316L and Inconel 625 were fabricated using Directed Energy Deposition. Intermediate layers built in between SS316L IN625. Pure IN625 samples also prepared. The results show microstructure varied sharply at the interface on pure while changed gradually gradient samples. Quantitative analysis reveals consistence designed tested material composition layers. Tensile testing shows yield strength is similar to that ultimate tensile...

Purpose – Laser metal deposition (LMD) is a type of additive manufacturing process in which the laser used to create melt pool on substrate powder added. The melted within and solidified form deposited track. These tracks may contain porosities or cracks affect functionality part. When these defects go undetected, they cause failure part below par performance their applications. An demand vision system required detect track as when are formed. This especially crucial LMD applications being...
