Abstract
The assessment of safety-critical components for fatigue applications is a key requirement for metal additive manufacturing (AM) applications. Material anomalies play a relevant role in determining the fatigue resistance properties of a component. X-ray computed tomography (CT) helps collect important information on these flaws, such as their size and position within a part.
In this study, we discuss how to employ anomaly data detected on an AlSi10Mg bracket manufactured by laser-powder bed fusion to describe the prospective allowable life of a component under a given operating condition.
A statistical analysis was conducted on the specimens and component to derive the correlation between different resolution scans and analyze the uncertainties of the micro-CT measurements. The full-scale non-destructive evaluation (NDE) can be constrained to large voxel sizes. Eventually, the authors proposed a fully probabilistic route for assessment instead of a simple deterministic assessment based on safety factors. This assessment enables designers to consider the uncertainties of the assessment (uncertainties of micro-CT detection and the model for fatigue strength).
期刊介绍:
Materials and Design is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, review articles, and express communications. The journal focuses on studying the structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advancements in synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing, the design of materials and engineering systems, and their applications in technology. It aims to bring together various aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The journal explores themes ranging from materials to design and aims to reveal the connections between natural and artificial materials, as well as experiment and modeling. Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design should contain elements of discovery and surprise, as they often contribute new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
