Selective laser melting (SLM) is a promising powder-based additive manufacturing technology due to its capability to fabricate metallic components with complex geometries. While most previous investigations focus on printing with a single material, recent industry-orientated studies indicate the need for multi-material SLM in several high-value manufacturing sectors including medical devices, aerospace and automotive industries. However, understanding the underlying physics in multi-material SLM remains challenging due to the difficulties of experimental observation. In this paper, an integrated modelling framework for multi-track, multi-layer and multi-material SLM is developed to advance the in-depth understanding of this process. The main novelty is in modelling the molten pool evolvement and track morphology of multiple materials deposited on the same and across different layers. Discrete element method (DEM) is employed to reproduce the powder deposition process of multiple materials in different deposition patterns, with particle size distribution imported from a particle size analyser. Various phenomena including balling effect, keyhole depression, and lack of fusion between layers are investigated with different laser energy inputs. As a result of the different thermal properties, several process parameters including energy density and hatch spacing are optimised for different powder materials to obtain a continuous track profile and improved scanning efficiency. The interface between two layers of different materials is visualised by simulation; it was found that the phase migration at the interface is related to the convection flow inside the molten pool, which contributes to the mixing of the two materials and elemental diffusion. This study significantly contributes to the challenging area of multimaterial additive manufacturing by providing a greater in-depth understanding of the SLM process from multi-material powder deposition to laser interaction with powders across multiple scanning tracks and different building layers than can be achieved by experimentation alone.

A coupled ray-tracing based CFD and cellular automaton model for predicting molten pool formation and microstructure evolution in narrow gap laser welding

Heng Gu, Tapio Vaisto, Chao Wei, Lin Li, Xudong Ren, Lili Qian

Summary: Laser beam reflection has a significant impact on temperature development and microstructure evolution in multi-pass narrow gap laser welding (NGLW). A ray-tracing based CFD and cellular automaton modelling framework was established to investigate the impact of laser beam reflection on molten pool formation and microstructure evolution. The simulation results showed that laser beam absorption in NGLW is greater than laser metal deposition (LMD) and smaller than laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process. The analysis also revealed that laser beam reflection affects the formation of defects and grain structure development.

Natural convection effects in insulation layers of spherical cryogenic storage tanks

Mahsa Taghavi, Swapnil Sharma, Vemuri Balakotaiah

Summary: This study investigates the natural convection effects in the insulation layers of spherical storage tanks and their impact on the tanks' performance. The permeability and Rayleigh number of the insulation material are considered as key factors. The results show that as the Rayleigh number increases, new convective cells emerge and cause the cold boundary to approach the external hot boundary. In the case of large temperature differences, multiple solutions may coexist.

Summary: Ice crystal icing is a significant hazard in aviation, and accurate modeling of sticking efficiency is essential. In this study, icing wind tunnel experiments were conducted to quantify the volumetric liquid water fraction, sticking efficiency, and maximum thickness of ice layers. Two measurement techniques, calorimetry and capacitive measurements, were used to measure the liquid water content and distribution in the ice layers. The experiments showed that increasing wet bulb temperatures and substrate heat flux significantly increased sticking efficiency and maximum ice layer thickness.

Two-phase flow and heat transfer on a cylinder via low-velocity jet impact

Shuang-Ying Wu, Shi-Yao Zhou, Lan Xiao, Jia Luo

Summary: This paper investigates the two-phase flow and heat transfer characteristics of low-velocity jet impacting on a cylindrical surface. The study reveals that the heat transfer regimes are non-phase transition and nucleate boiling with the increase of heat transfer rate. The effects of jet impact height and outlet velocity on local surface temperatures are pronounced at the non-phase transition stage. The growth rates of heat transfer rate and liquid loss rate increase significantly from the non-phase transition to nucleate boiling stage.

Experimental study on anti-frost property and edge effect of superhydrophobic surface with millimeter-scale geometries

Hui He, Ning Lyu, Caihua Liang, Feng Wang, Xiaosong Zhang

Summary: This study investigates the condensation, frosting, and defrosting processes on superhydrophobic surfaces with millimeter-scale structures. The results reveal that the structures can influence the growth and removal of frost crystals, with the bottom grooves creating a frost-free zone and conical edges promoting higher frost crystal heights. Two effective methods for defrosting are observed: hand-lifting the groove and airfoil retraction contraction on protruding structures. This research provides valuable insights into frost formation and defrosting on millimeter-structured superhydrophobic surfaces, with potential applications in anti-frost engineering.

Controlling heat capacity in a thermal concentrator using metamaterials: Numerical and experimental studies

Thiwanka Arepolage, Christophe Verdy, Thibaut Sylvestre, Aymeric Leray, Sebastien Euphrasie

Summary: This study developed two thermal concentrators, one with a 2D design of uniform thickness and another with a 3D design, using the coordinate transformation technique and metamaterials. By structuring the thermal conductor, the desired local density-heat capacity product and anisotropic thermal conductivities were achieved. The homogenized thermal conductivities were obtained from finite element simulations and cylindrical symmetry consideration. A 3D concentrator was fabricated using 3D metal printing and characterized using a thermal camera. Compared to devices that solely consider anisotropic conductivities, the time evolution characteristics of the metadevice designed with coordinate transformation were closer to those of an ideal concentrator.

Supercritical heat transfer of CO2 in horizontal tube emphasizing pseudo-boiling and stratification effects

Liangyuan Cheng, Qingyang Wang, Jinliang Xu

Summary: In this study, we investigated the supercritical heat transfer of CO2 in a horizontal tube with a diameter of 10.0 mm, covering a wide range of pressures, mass fluxes, and heat fluxes. The study revealed a non-monotonic increase in wall temperatures along the flow direction and observed both positive and negative wall temperature differences between the bottom and top tube. The findings were explained by the thermal conduction in the solid wall interacting with the stratified-wavy flow in the tube.
