The book serves as an essential reference for engineers and technicians in both industry and academia, performing both research and full-scale production. Additive manufacturing processes are revolutionizing production throughout industry. These technologies enable the cost-effective manufacture of small lot parts, rapid repair of damaged components and construction of previously impossible-to-produce geometries. However, the large thermal gradients inherent in these processes incur large residual stresses and mechanical distortion, which can push the finished component out of engineering tolerance. Costly trial-and-error methods are commonly used for failure mitigation. Finite element modeling provides a compelling alternative, allowing for the prediction of residual stresses and distortion, and thus a tool to investigate methods of failure mitigation prior to building. Provides understanding of important components in the finite element modeling of additive manufacturing processes necessary to obtain accurate results Offers a deeper understanding of how the thermal gradients inherent in additive manufacturing induce distortion and residual stresses, and how to mitigate these undesirable phenomena Includes a set of strategies for the modeler to improve computational efficiency when simulating various additive manufacturing processes Serves as an essential reference for engineers and technicians in both industry and academia

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive manufacturing (AM) enables parts to be built through the layer-by-layer addition of molten metal. In directed energy deposition (DED) AM, metal powder or wire is added into a melt pool that follows a pattern to fill in the cross section of the part. When compared to traditional manufacturing processes, AM has manyadvantages such as the ability to make internal features and to repair high-value parts. However, the large thermal gradients generated by AM result in plastic deformation. Thermo-mechanical models must be developed to predict the temperature and distortion produced by this process.Thermo-mechanical models have been developed for AM by several investigators. These models are often validated by measuring the temperatures during the deposition of a small part and the final distortion of the part. Unfortunately this is not a sufficientvalidation method for the non-linear thermo-mechanical model. Although good agreement between the thermal model and the temperatures measured during a small depositions can be achieved, it does not necessarily mean that the model will be accurate for an industrially relevant part that requires 10^2 - 10^4 tracks and hours of processing time. The relatively small deviations between the model and the validation will propagate when modeling large depositions and could produce inaccurate results. The errors in a large part will be increased further if the assumptions made of thethermal boundary conditions are not appropriate for the system.The objective of this work is to develop and experimentally validate thermo-mechanical models for DED. Experiments are performed to characterize the distortion induced by laser cladding. The depositions require many tracks and nearly an hour of processing time, during which the temperature and the deflection are measured in situ so that the response of the plate to each deposition track is understood. Measurements are then made of the convection caused by two different laser deposition heads. Thermo-mechanical models are developed by implementing the measured rate of convective heat transfer and the temperature dependent material properties. The models are validated using in situ measurements of the temperatureand the deflection generated during the process, as well as post-process measurements of the residual stress and the distortedshape. Finally, experiments and models are used to investigate the impact of feedstock selection, either powder or wire, on the DEDprocess.

Book excerpt: The field of metal additive manufacturing has experienced significant growth in recent years, and Laser Hot Wire Directed Energy Deposition (LHW-DED) has emerged as a popular technology due to its ease of use and ability to produce high-quality metal parts. In this study, we used a nonlinear transient thermo-mechanical coupled finite element model (FEM) in ANSYS APDL to conduct a detailed thermal and structural analysis of the laser hot wire DED metal additive manufacturing process. This analysis aimed to characterize the distortion caused by thermal effects and investigate the transient thermal process. In this study H13 iron chromium alloy material was deposited on an A36 low carbon steel substrate using a bidirectional laser toolpath. To record the temperature profile during printing, we employed a FLIR Infrared (IR) camera, while thermocouples mounted to the base plate measured heat transfer for validation purposes. Post-processing analysis was conducted using the CREAFORM laser 3D scan and Geomagic-X software to measure deformation from the nominal printed geometry. Overall, this study provides a significant contribution to our understanding of laser hot wire DED metal additive manufacturing, which will undoubtedly lead to further advancements in the field. This research has the potential to improve the productivity and quality of the additive manufacture of metals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal additive manufacturing (AM/3D printing) offers unparalleled advantages over conventional manufacturing, including greater design freedom and a lower lead time. However, the use of AM parts in safety-critical industries, such as aerospace and biomedical, is limited by the tendency of the process to create flaws that can lead to sudden failure during use. The root cause of flaw formation in metal AM parts, such as porosity and deformation, is linked to the temperature inside the part during the process, called the thermal history. The thermal history is a function of the process parameters and part design. Consequently, the first step towards ensuring consistent part quality in metal AM is to understand how and why the process parameters and part geometry influence the thermal history. Given the current lack of scientific insight into the causal design-process-thermal physics link that governs part quality, AM practitioners resort to expensive and timeconsuming trial-and-error tests to optimize part geometry and process parameters. An approach to reduce extensive empirical testing is to identify the viable process parameters and part geometry combinations through rapid thermal simulations. However, a major barrier that deters physics-based design and process optimization efforts in AM is the prohibitive computational burden of existing finite element-based thermal modeling. The objective of this thesis is to understand the causal effect of process parameters on the temperature distribution in AM parts using the theory of heat dissipation on graphs (graph theory). We develop and apply a novel graph theory-based computational thermal modeling approach for predicting the thermal history of titanium alloy parts made using the directed energy deposition metal AM process. As an example of the results obtained for one of the three test parts studied in this work, the temperature trends predicted by the graph theory approach had error ~11% compared to experimental trends. Moreover, the graph theory simulation was obtained within 9 minutes, which is less than the 25 minutes required to print the part.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conventional manufacturing processes often require a large amount of machining and cannot satisfy the continuously increasing requirements of a sustainable, low cost, and environmentally friendly modern industry. Thus, Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become an important industrial process for the manufacture of custom-made metal workpieces. Among the different AM processes, Wire and Arc Additive Manufacture (WAAM) has the ability to manufacture large, low volume metal work-pieces due to its high deposition rate. In this process, 3D metallic components are built by depositing beads of weld metal in a layer by layer fashion. However, the non-uniform expansion and contraction of the material during the thermal cycle results in residual stresses and distortion. To obtain a better understanding of the thermo-mechanical performance of the WAAM process, a study based on FE simulation was untaken in this thesis. The mechanism of the stress generation during the deposition process was analysed via a 3D transient thermo-mechanical FE model which is verified with experimental results. To be capable of analysing the thermo-mechanical behaviour of large-scale WAAM components, an efficient FE approach was developed which can significantly reduce the computational time. The accuracy of this model was validated against the transient model as well as experimental measurements. With the help of the FE models studies on different deposition parameters, deposition sequences and deposition strategies were carried out. It has been proved that the residual stresses and the distortions are possible to be reduced by using optimised deposition parameters and sequences. In addition, a robot path generation prototype has been developed to help efficiently integrate these optimised process settings in the real-wold WAAM process.

This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last decade, several industrialized countries have stressed the importance of advanced manufacturing to their economies. Many of these plans have highlighted the development of additive manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing which, as of 2018, are still in their infancy. The objective is to develop superior products, produced at lower overall operational costs. For these goals to be realized, a deep understanding of the essential ingredients comprising the materials involved in additive manufacturing is needed. The combination of rigorous material modeling theories, coupled with the dramatic increase of computational power can potentially play a significant role in the analysis, control, and design of many emerging additive manufacturing processes. Specialized materials and the precise design of their properties are key factors in the processes. Specifically, particle-functionalized materials play a central role in this field, in three main regimes: (1) to enhance overall filament-based material properties, by embedding particles within a binder, which is then passed through a heating element and the deposited onto a surface, (2) to “functionalize” inks by adding particles to freely flowing solvents forming a mixture, which is then deposited onto a surface and (3) to directly deposit particles, as dry powders, onto surfaces and then to heat them with a laser, e-beam or other external source, in order to fuse them into place. The goal of these processes is primarily to build surface structures which are extremely difficult to construct using classical manufacturing methods. The objective of this monograph is introduce the readers to basic techniques which can allow them to rapidly develop and analyze particulate-based materials needed in such additive manufacturing processes. This monograph is broken into two main parts: “Continuum Method” (CM) approaches and “Discrete Element Method” (DEM) approaches. The materials associated with methods (1) and (2) are closely related types of continua (particles embedded in a continuous binder) and are treated using continuum approaches. The materials in method (3), which are of a discrete particulate character, are analyzed using discrete element methods.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this work is to experimentally validate thermal andmechanical finite element models of metallic parts produced usingadditive manufacturing (AM) processes. AM offers advantages overother manufacturing processes due the fact that it can produce netand near-net shapes directly from a digital drawing file. Parts canbe produced on a layer by layer basis by melting wire or powdermetal using a laser or an electron beam. The material then cools andsolidifies to form a fully dense geometry. Unfortunately the largethermal gradients cause a buildup of residual stress often takingparts out of tolerance or causing failure by cracking ordelamination. To successfully reduce distortion and residual stressin metallic AM parts without expensive and time consuming trial anderror iterations, an experimentally validated physics based model isneeded.In this work finite element (FE) models for the laser directedenergy deposition (LDED), the Electron Beam Directed Manufacture(EBDM) process, and the Laser Powder-Bed Fusion (LPBF) process aredeveloped and validated. In situ distortion and temperaturemeasurements are taken during the LDED processing of both Ti-6Al-4Vand Inconel 625. The in situexperimental results are used in addition to post-process residualstress measurements to validate a thermo-mechanical model for eachalloy. The results show that each material builds distortiondifferently during AM processing, a previously unknown effect thatmust be accounted for in the model. The thermal boundary conditionsin the model are then modified to allow for the modeling of the EBDMprocess. The EBDM model is validated against in situ temperature anddistortion measurements as well as post-process residual stressmeasurements taken on a single bead wide Ti-6Al-4V wall build.Further model validation is provided by comparing the predictedmechanical response of a large EBDM aerospace component consistingof several thousand deposition tracks to post-process distortionmeasurements taken on the actual part. Several distortion mitigationtechniques are also investigated using an FE model. The findings areused to reduce the maximum distortion present on the largeindustrial aerospace component by 91~\%. Finally, the modeling workfor the LDED and the EBDM processes is extended to Laser Powder-BedFusion (LPBF) processing of Inconel718. The necessary boundary conditions and material properties toinclude in the models are identified by comparing the model with insitu experimental results.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work pertains to the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing process. The objective of this thesis is to predict a frequently occurring type of thermalinduced process failure in LPBF called recoater crash. To ascertain the likelihood of a recoater crash before the part is printed, we develop and apply a computationally efficient thermomechanical modeling approach based on graph theory. Despite its demonstrated ability to overcome the design and processing constraints of conventional subtractive and formative manufacturing, the production-level scaleup of LPBF is hindered by frequent build failures. For example, the part often deforms as it is being printed due to uneven heating and cooling. This thermal-induced deformation of the LPBF part during processing causes it to interfere with the deposition mechanism (recoater) leading to a common build failure called recoater crash. A recoater crash not only destroys the part involved but also causes an entire build to be abandoned resulting in considerable time and material losses. In this context, fast and accurate thermomechanical simulations are valuable for practitioners to identify and correct problems in the part design and processing conditions that can lead to a recoater crash before the part is even printed. Herein, we propose a novel thermomechanical modeling approach to predict recoater crashes which is based on two sequential steps. First, the temperature distribution of the part during printing is predicted using a meshfree graph theory-based computational thermal model. Second, the temperature distribution is used as an input into a finite element model to predict recoater crashes. The accuracy and computational efficiency of this graph theory-based approach is demonstrated in comparison with both non-proprietary thermomechanical finite element analysis (Abaqus), and a proprietary LPBF simulation software (Netfabb). Based on numerical (verification) and experimental (validation) studies, the proposed approach is 5 to 6 times faster than the non-proprietary finite element modeling and has the same order of speed as Netfabb. This physics-based approach to prevent recoater crashes can engender substantial savings by supplanting existing build-and-test optimizations of part design and parameters.
