The goal of this work is to minimize geometric inaccuracies in parts printed using a fused filament fabrication (FFF) additive manufacturing (AM) process by optimizing the process parameters settings. This is a challenging proposition, because it is often difficult to satisfy the various specified geometric accuracy requirements by using the process parameters as the controlling factor. To overcome this challenge, the objective of this work is to develop and apply a multi-objective optimization approach to find the process parameters minimizing the overall geometric inaccuracies by balancing multiple requirements. The central hypothesis is that formulating such a multi-objective optimization problem as a series of simpler single-objective problems leads to optimal process conditions minimizing the overall geometric inaccuracy of AM parts with fewer trials compared to the traditional design of experiments (DOE) approaches. The proposed multi-objective accelerated process optimization (m-APO) method accelerates the optimization process by jointly solving the subproblems in a systematic manner. The m-APO maps and scales experimental data from previous subproblems to guide remaining subproblems that improve the solutions while reducing the number of experiments required. The presented hypothesis is tested with experimental data from the FFF AM process; the m-APO reduces the number of FFF trials by 20% for obtaining parts with the least geometric inaccuracies compared to full factorial DOE method. Furthermore, a series of studies conducted on synthetic responses affirmed the effectiveness of the proposed m-APO approach in more challenging scenarios evocative of large and nonconvex objective spaces. This outcome directly leads to minimization of expensive experimental trials in AM.

Process-structure relationship in the directed energy deposition of cobalt-chromium alloy (Stellite 21) coatings

Ziyad Smoqi, Joshua Toddy, Harold (Scott) Halliday, Jeffrey E. Shield, Prahalada Rao

Summary: The study demonstrates that preheating the substrate and depositing the coating at moderate energy density can reduce cracking, while localized laser-based preheating and moderate energy density can mitigate steep temperature gradients to prevent thermally induced cracking of the Stellite coating in the inter-dendritic regions.

Summary: Powder bed fusion additive manufacturing offers design flexibility for metal products, but controlling quality becomes challenging with complex designs. This study explores advanced imaging for improved quality control and introduces a novel generalized recurrence network for analyzing the interaction between design parameters and quality characteristics in thin-wall builds. The results demonstrate sensitivity of network features to build orientations, width, height, and contour space, providing insights for optimizing engineering design and enhancing build quality.

Discrete Green's functions and spectral graph theory for computationally efficient thermal modeling

Kevin D. Cole, Alex Riensche, Prahalada K. Rao

Summary: This work introduces a method for solving the heat equation using the spectral graph method, which is applicable to temperature defined at discrete points and described by a graph. The method utilizes eigenvectors and eigenvalues to solve the heat equation on the graph, eliminating the need for computationally intensive procedures in the finite element method. The method is extended to include boundary heat loss and physics-based edge weights, and a discrete Green's function is introduced for solutions under various heating conditions. The accuracy of the method is validated through comparison with analytical solutions and finite difference solutions.

Machine learning to predict aluminum segregation to magnesium grain boundaries

Joseph Messina, Renjie Luo, Ke Xu, Guanghong Lu, Huiqiu Deng, Mark A. Tschopp, Fei Gao

Summary: Magnesium alloys have advantages in applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, but properties like corrosion resistance, formability, and creep are still concerns, especially in magnesium-aluminum alloys. This study quantifies aluminum segregation energetics at grain boundaries using atomistic simulations, showing that the segregation of aluminum is influenced by grain boundary structure and the local atomic environment, which has broad implications for grain boundary science and engineering.
