Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Additive Manufacturing (AM) remains a rich and rapidly developing theme in metal and alloy processing. The advancement of AM technology has brought opportunities not just for complex metal component fabrication but also for microstructure tailoring and novel material design. To model and analyze this advanced manufacturing technology for metal fabrication process optimization and component performance enhancement has become a challenging issue for both academia and industry.

This Special Issue aims to highlight research on the computation and simulation of metals processed with AM technology. In addition, post-treatment modeling and non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) on AM metals are invited here.

Incremental hole drilling is a commonly employed semi-destructive method for measuring internal residual stresses. It involves calculating internal residual stresses through the measurement of strains. The conversion of strain to stress is achieved through calibration coefficients, the accuracy of which directly influences the precision of residual stress measurements. These calibration coefficients are predominantly determined through finite element simulations, which must consider the sample’s characteristics and realistic experimental conditions. While there has been extensive research on the influence of sample thickness, the impact of thickness under different experimental conditions remains unexplored, and the underlying physical mechanisms driving thickness effects remain ambiguous. This paper addresses this gap by employing finite element simulations to investigate the impact of thickness on calibration coefficients under three commonly utilized experimental conditions. Moreover, this research endeavors to elucidate the physical mechanisms that contribute to variations in these coefficients through energy analysis. Full article

Over the past decade, significant research has focused on detecting abnormalities in metal laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing. Effective online monitoring systems are crucial for enhancing process stability, repeatability, and the quality of final components. Therefore, the development of in situ detection mechanisms has become essential for metal L-PBF systems, making efficient closed-loop control strategies to adjust process parameters in real time vital. This paper presents an overview of current in situ monitoring systems used in metal L-PBF, complemented by ex situ characterizations. It discusses in situ techniques employed in L-PBF and evaluates the applicability of commercial systems. The review covers optical, thermal, acoustic, and X-ray in situ methods, along with destructive and non-destructive ex situ methods like optical, Archimedes, and X-ray characterization techniques. Each technique is analyzed based on the sensor used for defect detection and the type or size of defects. Optical in situ monitoring primarily identifies large defects from powder bed abnormalities, while thermal methods detect defects as small as 100 µm and keyholes. Thermal in situ detection techniques are notable for their applicability to commercial devices and efficacy in detecting subsurface defects. Computed tomography scanning excels in locating porosity in 3D space with high accuracy. This study also explores the advantages of multi-sensor in situ techniques, such as combining optical and thermal sensors, and concludes by addressing current research needs and potential applications of multi-sensor systems.

Today, parts made by additive manufacturing (AM) methods have found many applications in the medical industry, the main reasons for which are the ability to custom design and manufacture complex structures, their short production cycle, their ease of utilization, and on-site fabrication, leading to the fabrication of next-generation intricate patient-specific biomedical implants. These parts should fulfill numerous requirements, such as having acceptable mechanical strength, biocompatibility, satisfactory surface characteristics, and excellent corrosion and wear performance. It was known that AM techniques may lead to some uncertainties influencing part properties and causing significant evaluation conflicts in corrosion outcomes. Meanwhile, the corrosion and wear behavior of additively manufactured materials are not comprehensively discussed. In this regard, the present work is a review of the state-of-the-art knowledge dedicated to reviewing the actual scientific knowledge about the corrosion and wear response of additively manufactured biomedical components, elucidating the relevant mechanism and influential factors to enhance the performance of AM-manufactured implants specifically for the physiological human body fluids. Furthermore, there is a focus on the use of reinforced composites, surface engineering, and a preparation stage that can considerably affect the tribocorrosion behavior of AM-produced parts. The improvement of tribocorrosion performance can have a key role in the production of advanced AM implants and the present study can pave the way toward facile production of high-throughput AM biomedical parts that have very high resistance to corrosion and wear.
