Additive manufacturing technologies are highly versatile, capable of producing components with previously impossible complex geometries. However, when additive manufacturing is used to produce parts for critical applications, such as in the aerospace sector, the parts are sometimes limited by poor mechanical properties; largely as a result of porosity and lower material homogeneity than found in, for example, a wrought equivalent. Presented here is a method for identifying material defects, such as porosity, and for monitoring the progress of these defects towards failure during a mechanical test. An Inconel 718 two-bar specimen, produced by laser powder bed fusion, has been applied to a “staged” mechanical test, and X-ray computed tomography used to measure the sample at the end of each “stage”. The X-ray computed tomography data has then been used to provide a history of failure sites prior to failure.
