Abstract [en]

The ability to manufacture complex internal features is one of the distinct differentiators of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as compared to other manufacturing methods for metal components. This manufacturing process provide designers with new opportunities in the design, such as e.g. networks and curved and non round cooling channels. To fully take advantage of metal AM in industrial use, robust methods for the detection of potential internal defects is however needed. A method that holds the promise of being one of the few tools for non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of internal features and defects is X-ray computed tomography (CT). The applicability and limitations of CT, especially for defect determination in products with complex internal structures is however not fully understood. In this work, parts with different sizes of controlled internal defects in the form of slots of varying width, 0,1 – 0,4 mm was manufactured by AM, using Selective Laser melting (SLM). The parts were produced in both titanium and aluminium alloys and both with internal networks and as solid pieces. For both of the designed types of samples, containing the pre designed defects, the ability to detect the defects by industrial computed tomography (CT) was evaluated. The evaluation of defects using CT data can be done by a trained operator. For solid components this can be done with some assistance of analysis modes that are available in comersial software. For components with complex internal structures, the result is more operator dependant and more work is needed to develop methods for CT inspection that can enable automation of the inspection process and/or to assist a trained operator.
