Nonlinear ultrasonic techniques have high sensitivity to defects and can be used for in situ porosity monitoring. The sideband peak count (SPC) technique, combined with synchrosqueezed wavelet transform (SWT), is adopted for this purpose in the study. The proposed technique is more sensitive to porosity than conventional linear techniques.
Nonlinear ultrasonic techniques have the benefit of high sensitivity to micro or early-stage defects. Among the various nonlinear techniques, the newly proposed sideband peak count (SPC) technique investigates defect-induced nonlinearity by counting the spectral sidebands from a broadband ultrasonic response in the frequency domain. In this study, SPC analysis is transformed into the time-frequency plane through synchrosqueezed wavelet transform (SWT) for transient nonstationary ultrasonic signals. The proposed new SPC technique was then adopted for in situ porosity monitoring in directed energy deposition (DED)-a typical metal additive manufacturing process. Porosity is one of the most critical defects in DED and has detrimental effects on the mechanical properties and fatigue performance of products. For in situ porosity monitoring, a fully noncontact ultrasonic measurement was achieved with a laser ultrasonic system, and its detectability was improved by laser polishing. Time and frequency windows were properly selected to suppress the effects of wave characteristic variations on the SPC analysis in the SWT domain. The performance of the proposed technique was verified by monitoring porosity in stainless steel 316L samples manufactured in the DED process. The test results demonstrated that the proposed nonlinear technique is much more sensitive to porosity than conventional linear techniques, and hence, is more suitable for in situ porosity monitoring.
