Abstract
This Navy STTR Phase I proposal presents an unprecedented NDI tool to quantify mechanical properties of metal parts made with laser additive manufacturing with material characteristics and process parameters. A fiber laser SAW and heterodyne detection is used with LIBS to study both in-process and post-process for both flat and shaped parts. It is the enabling technology for characterize the AM parts in terms of temperature, cooling rate, grain structure, and defects. A proof of concept demonstration will be carried out at the end of Phase 1.Prototypes will be demonstrated in AM system at the end of Phase II.
