Additive Manufacturing - Structures on Demand - Managing microstructure and defect populations in Engineering Alloys

在这项博士研究中，我们将结合过程和现场表征和测量(高速、高分辨率热成像、高光谱成像、质谱分析等)。通过过程建模(分析和计算)，首先着眼于简单几何中的结构和应力控制，但迅速发展到更复杂的几何形式，代表那些在“真实”产品中存在的形式。该项目的目标是开发生产定制和本地化微结构的方法，以实现AM部件所需的性能。这也包括工艺的在线管理，以控制无缺陷和所需结构的条件。

iThis PhD research we will combine In-process and In-situ characterization and measurements (High speed, High Resolution Thermal imaging, hyper-spectral imaging, mass spectrometry etc.) with process modelling (analytical and computational) to look first at the control of structure and stress in simple geometries but swiftly progressing to more complex geometrical forms representative of those present in "real" products. The objective of the project is to develop methodology for producing tailored and localized microstructures to achieve required properties of the AM parts. This also includes in-line management of process to control the conditions for defect-free and desired structure.
