Interlayer closed-loop control of forming geometries for wire and arc additive manufacturing based on fuzzy-logic inference

Yongzhe Li et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel control mechanism based on fuzzy-logic inference to enhance the fabrication accuracy of wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). The mechanism adjusts deposition parameters of beads in the subsequent layer by considering the geometrical errors measured on already deposited layers and deposition context, forming an interlayer closed-loop control (ICLC) mechanism. The effectiveness of this control mechanism and the implemented controller was validated through simulative studies and real-life experiments, showing good accuracy in height of fabricated cuboid blocks.

A fundamental investigation of thermo-capillarity in laser powder bed fusion of metals and alloys

Mohamad Bayat et al.

Summary: This study utilizes a multi-physics numerical model to investigate the effects of thermo-capillarity on the melt pool morphology and thermal fluid conditions during the Laser Powder Bed Fusion process. The results demonstrate that higher Marangoni numbers lead to decreased temperature gradients and more uniform temperature fields in the melt pool. Additionally, a novel methodology is introduced for calculating the melt pool's average Nusselt number, which can be used to simplify heat conduction simulations with effective liquid conductivity.

Dual-detector electronic monitoring of electron beam selective melting

D. C. Zhao et al.

Summary: Electron Beam Selective Melting (EBSM) is an advanced additive manufacturing technique used in various industrial fields, but faces challenges in process monitoring and quality control. A dual-detector electronic imaging system was proposed for in-situ monitoring of EBSM process, showing a linear correlation between electronic current and surface height gradient, and the capability to visualize deposited surfaces and identify defects. The correlation between signal and topography indicates the potential for in-situ surface reconstruction and in-process quality control during EBSM process.
