US Patent:

20200057030, Feb 20, 2020

Filed:

Sep 20, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/577001

Inventors:

- Kansas City MO, US
Benjamin Ross Brown - Kansas City MO, US
David Soine - Kansas City MO, US

Assignee:

Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, LLC - Kansas City MO

International Classification:

G01N 29/24
B33Y 40/00
G01N 29/12

Abstract:

A system and method for the non-destructive testing of additively manufactured parts. An input mechanism excites with an excitation force (e.g., a vibration) an additive manufacturing build structure, which includes a part on a build platform, to induce a dynamic response in the part. An output mechanism (e.g., a non-contact transducer) senses the induced dynamic response in the part. A processor determines and examines the relationship between the response and excitation to identify an indication of a defect in the part, and communicates an alert if the indication is identified. The processor may compare the phase, magnitude, coherence, or time delay of the relationship to a reference relationship and/or may compare the modal frequency or the modal damping to a reference to identify a deviation greater than a pre-established threshold.

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for additive manufacturing a metal part having portions with varying microstructures. The method may include depositing an additive manufacturing powder on a surface and melting or sintering a first portion of the additive manufacturing powder while it is covered with a first type of cover gas. Next, the method may include melting or sintering a second portion of the additive manufacturing powder while it is covered with a second type of cover gas. The first portion may be a first layer of the additive manufacturing powder and the second portion may be a second layer of the additive manufacturing powder deposited after melting or sintering of the first layer. Additionally or alternatively, the first portion and the second portion may both include distinct portions of a single layer of the additive manufacturing powder.
