Point Heat Source Correlation To Microstructural Evolution In Advanced Manufacturing, Mark Anderson
Point Heat Source Correlation To Microstructural Evolution In Advanced Manufacturing, Mark Anderson
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Although there are different ways that advanced manufacturing can be performed, the use of single-point heat sources has become the standard to control a final product’s properties. It is imperative to understand how the heat source used in the different advanced manufacturing processes affect the microstructure of interest. The intimate relationship between the heat source and microstructure allows for controlling and tailoring a part’s properties. Utilizing different microstructural analysis, the cross-correlation of various point heat sources to developed microstructure was conducted in this dissertation.
Laser powder bed fusion allows for unique print-to-part protocols, but the dynamics of the process makes …
