Abstract
In this study, a systematic experimental and simulations-based characterization of key thermal aspects of the arc-flash lamp based AFP heating is presented. Ex-situ measurements of heat flux output from the flash lamp as well as the resulting temperature field on a material sample are carried out in a geometry representative of actual manufacturing conditions, using a heat flux sensor and infrared thermography. A thermal simulation model is developed to predict the temperature field resulting from the measured heat flux data. Good agreement is found between experimental data and simulation predictions. This work contributes towards developing a fundamental understanding of heat transfer processes during AFP manufacturing. Data presented here may be of broad benefit to AFP-related research, and may contribute towards process design and optimization in order to further expand the capabilities of this promising additive manufacturing technology.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
