  abstract = {The microstructure of a material defines many of its mechanical properties. Tracking the microstructure of parts during their manufacturing is needed to ensure the designed performance can be obtained, especially for additively manufactured parts. Measuring the microstructure non-destructively on real parts is challenging for optical techniques such as laser ultrasound, as the optically rough surface impacts the ability to generate and detect acoustic waves. Spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy can be used to measure the microstructure, and this paper presents the capability on a range of surface finishes. We discuss how to describe 'roughness' and how this influences the measurements. We demonstrate that measurements can be made on surfaces with Ra up to 28 {$\mu$}m for a selection of roughness comparators. Velocity images on a range of real surface finishes, including machined, etched, and additively manufactured finishes in an as-deposited state, are presented. We conclude that the Ra is a poor descriptor for the ability to perform measurements as the correlation length of the roughness has a large impact on the ability to detected the surface waves. Despite this issue, a wide range of real industrially relevant surface conditions can be measured.},

Inconveniently, the same  materials’ properties which allow them to perform well in service render them difficult to process  via powder bed fusion. Current build systems are characterised by high defect rates and erratic  microstructure, leading to components with inferior mechanical properties. Given the high specific costs in  powder bed fusion manufacture there is a real and apparent need to minimise component scrappage due to  these defects. Here a method is proposed to make good the defects that will inevitably be  produced in current class laser processing of metallic powders. This study investigates the use of spatially resolved acoustic  spectroscopy (SRAS) scan data to inform repair strategies within a commercial selective laser melting  machine. Using the common aerospace nickel superalloys, Inconel 718 and CM247-LC, localised remelting was shown to consistently reduce the depth of defect. A 50 \% reduction in defect depth  was observed for both materials using different rework strategies. No appreciable variation was seen  with the single-shot strategy, due inaccurate realignment.},

This article reviews the capability of spatially resolved  acoustic spectroscopy to be used as an in-line inspection tool for detecting the changes in parts  induced due to variations in build parameters. The first considers the build laser  power and the second varies the laser scan strategy used to build the component.

Inconveniently, the same material properties which allow them to perform well in service render them difficult to process via powder bed fusion. Current build systems are characterised by high defect rates and erratic microstructure, leading to components with inferior mechanical properties. The work presents microstructural texture imaging of powder-bed fusion components by a non-contact laser ultrasonic method, Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS). In short, this work demonstrates the ability to SRAS to detect and characterise meso-scale crystalline texture features. Probing samples manufactured by powder bed fusion, in the common nickel based aerospace superalloy Inconel 718, it has been shown the the primary crystalline orientation of can be inferred from the measured velocity, with good agreement with Electron Backscatter Diffraction. The studied sample was found to have a microstructure formation that bore a heavy resemblance to the chosen scanning pattern, with clear influence from the geometry through varying scan vector length and island-boundary scan strategy. this work forms part of a progression towards deployment of a SRAS system as an in-situ inspection solution for PBF.},

  abstract = {Spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) is an acoustic microscopy technique that can image the microstructure and measure the crystallographic orientation of grains or crystals in the material. It works by measuring the velocity of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) via the acoustic spectrum. In the usual configuration the SAWs are generated by laser using a pattern of lines and detected by laser close to this grating like source. The use of the acoustic spectrum as a means of measuring the velocity has a number of practical advantages which makes the technique robust and fast and gives good spatial resolution. This makes the measurement suitable for imaging and gives it many advantages over traditional laser UT and microstructural measurement techniques.

As SRAS is a LUT technique is can be applied to a wide range of industrially relevant samples as a non-destructive evaluation technique. There are no size limitations on the samples that can be imaged and the surface preparation required is significantly more relaxed than many other techniques with the capability of operating on many as manufactured finishes. This permits the use of SRAS as an online inspection tool, for instance during additive or subtractive manufacturing, as a QA tool during manufacture or as an NDE/T tool in service.},

As shown in the figure above, the rover scans the area ahead of it and navigates appropriately. By using a low power camera array, it is possible to capture wide-field image maps with depth or distance information. Total power consumption is about 10W, and weight is under 1kg.
 
The CMOS camera works by using a sending a beam of modulated light to the target scene, and measuring the change in phase of the reflected light. Since time of flight is directly linked to the phase, it is possible to determine the range to the scene. By using an array of photo-detectors, it is possible to map the distance to several points in the scene quickly, and no scanning is required.},

This emerging manufacturing route has a major advantage over more traditional methods as it allows for complex designs that may not be produced any other way. The process, also commonly known as 3D printing, can utilise a variety of materials – metal alloy printed parts can be extremely useful as they can endure high strain and temperature. However, the performance limit of the parts will depend largely on the print quality – this would include structural defects (e.g. pores, cracks, delamination) as well as part non-conformities (e.g. design errors, size errors, inappropriate micro-structure). To discover any potential part weaknesses, a non-destructive, non-contact inspection method would be ideal, especially if it is practical to implement into a printer in order to inspect parts in-situ (as it is being printed).
 
Spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) is a method of characterising material though laser generated surface acoustic waves (SAW) - it has been used to map metal grain structures using SAW velocity measurement[1]. The method can also be used to detect defects (e.g signal attenuation or significant change in velocity)[2]. The established SRAS detection system requires a smooth surface finish (Ra$<$100nm) - the surface roughness of an as-deposited part is much higher (Ra$>$3μm).
 
In this paper, we present our solution of measuring the surface acoustic wave generated on an as-deposited AM part. The SAW is measured using the speckle reflection off the optically rough surface, captured using a speckle knife edge detector (SKED)(figure 1). The mapped SAW velocities measured off the AM part in a 2D scan will be presented – the link between print parameters and print quality will be illustrated. Mapping the characteristics of an as-deposited part in a timely and non invasive manner is a critical improvement to the AM technology.},

  abstract = {Additive layer manufacturing methods are renowned for generating parts with defects that are difficult to detect and resulting part integrity is therefore difficult to predict. Post process, non-destructive evaluation is currently used to assess this but an improved solution is to embed measurement apparatus within machine tools in order to continually evaluate performance in process.
 
This presentation will provide an insight into ongoing work which makes use of two techniques; optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS) for polymer and metal ALM methods respectively. Both of these techniques are of significant interest to machine builders since they are able to evaluate both surface and subsurface integrity. Through the use of OCT it is possible to discriminate between the density of subsurface regions within the near surface 500µm of Nylon 12 SLS specimen. In addition the use of SRAS is shown to detect surface pores alongside correlating crack densities with laser scan strategies. The use of these tools also presents new opportunities for inspection and discussion will also focus on how they will be used in the industrial setting.},

  abstract = {The advantages of using laser ultrasound (LU) to conduct non-destructive material evaluation includes the ability to perform non-contact testing and measure small features. However LU is not often used in an industrial environment due to some detection drawbacks. The detection system may not be robust enough under microphonics/vibration. Given the industrial context, it is difficult to detect ultrasonic signals on surfaces that give specular return (rough surfaces). Finally, commercial detector solutions are often too expensive and restrictive for the technique to be used outside niche scenarios.
 
This presentation will explore the detector known as the speckle knife edge detector (SKED), which can potentially overcome all these drawbacks. The detector is able to measure an incident speckle field shift, i.e. measure ultrasound signals off rough surfaces. There are some key benefits in using the SKED, including the cost, speed and small form factor. A demonstration of a SKED experiment is planned.},

Therefore, there are limitations as to which engineering context this manufacturing method may be used. Ex-situ methods of inspection and verification will always be necessary for quality control but, current commercial techniques can undermine the business case for using additive manufacturing. Undertaking in process geometrical measurements, condition monitoring and intra layer integrity evaluation are therefore key aspects for pushing additive manufacturing forward and assuring that parts are of the required quality. The advancement of new instruments also allows for the inspection of additional facets of the additive manufacturing process such a re-coater performance, crystal grain size, orientation and raster scan efficacy. The ability to identify early warning signs of failure is critical in order to pause a failing or failed build to save expensive raw materials and machine time.
 
Beyond identification of defects, next generation machine tools will be able to propose and execute repair strategies to some classifications of defects once observed. This will represent a step change in machine tool technology and will serve to open numerous applications for additive manufacturing. This talk will firstly address the rapidly shifting state-of-the-art in this area focusing on metal/polymer powder bed fabrication methodologies. Techniques for comparing in-process evaluation apparatus will be discussed with respect to assessing the spatial and temporal capability of a given instrument. Instruments being developed at the University of Nottingham for in process metrology and monitoring will be presented. Typical data sets created by these will be introduced and capability examined. The method of machine integration and reasonable expectations as a result of future developments will be discussed. In addition recent advances at Nottingham will be introduced which highlight a new methodology for detecting and repairing cracks and pores produced in metal powder bed systems. Activities supported through European and EPSRC initiative will also be explored. These include in-process fringe projection/ photogrammetry techniques, a two-sensor approach to process optimization, a multi-sensor fusion approach for metal powder-bed fusion, laser ultrasonics and optical coherence tomography.},

  abstract = {There is a clear industrial pull to fabricate high value components using premium high temperature aerospace materials by additive manufacturing. Inconveniently, the same material properties which allow them to perform well in service render them difficult to process via powder bed fusion. Current build systems are characterised by high defect rates and erratic microstructure, leading to components with inferior mechanical properties. Given the high specific costs in powder bed fusion manufacture there is a real and apparent need to minimise component scrappage due to these defects. Here a method is proposed to make good the defects that will inevitably be produced in current class laser processing of metallic powders.
 
This study investigates the use of spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) scan data to inform repair strategies within a commercial selective laser melting machine.  Using the common aerospace nickel superalloys, Inconel 718 and CM247-LC, localised re-melting was shown to consistently reduce the depth of defect. A 50 \% reduction in defect depth was observed for both materials using different rework strategies. No appreciable variation was seen with the single-shot strategy, due inaccurate realignment.},

  abstract = {Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing (AM) technique used to build parts layer-by-layer by fusing metallic power. The parts can have complex geometries which cannot be made using traditional manufacturing methods. The AM process consists of uncontrollable build variables which can often lead to the development of defects and part non-conformities. To certify parts for operation in tough or safety critical environments every part must be inspected. 
 
We are developing in-situ ultrasonic inspection techniques to assess build quality during the build process. This will allow for closed-loop smart fabrication systems, where detected flaws can cause used to stop entire build processes (saving time and material) or be used to correctively rework the flaw. 
 
The proposed laser ultrasound technique can be used to detected both surface and subsurface defects, and can be
 
used to inspect the material microstructure or texture. Working on as-deposited SLM material is challenging due to the high surface roughness. We will present results of the laser ultrasonic technique – spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) – on as deposited material from a build chamber compatible instrument. We will discuss the possibilities for defect and microstructure control, and the challenges remaining for online inspection.

  abstract = {Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an exciting prospect for use in high-value manufacturing. Removing many of traditional machining constraints allows significant design optimisation and weight-saving, however defects levels found in current class build systems is not acceptable for structural components. The complex geometry found in SLM posses many challenges for traditional NDT techniques. The layer-by-layer manufacturing nature provides an opportunity to take surface measurements to develop volumetric datasets, whilst circumventing many of the problems posed by novel, geodesic structures. Additionally, traditional fabrication techniques have undergone centuries of refinement, allowing close control of the final crystalline micro-structure, dictating the mechanical performance. In contrast, additive manufacturing is characterised by highly isotropic and difficult to control microstructure. Given the impact on the functional properties of the component, techniques which can provide microstucture information are highly valuable. The high associated costs with SLM, compared to both other additive and subtractive techniques encourages a minimisation of scrapped builds, current linear work flows rely on post-build inspection and subsequently significant numbers of failed builds. Whilst online monitoring can allow early scrappage, true value shall be added through the realisation of adaptive scan strategies to correct defects as they arise.
 
Spatially Resolved Acoustic Spectroscopy (SRAS) is an acoustic microscopy technique, which utilises laser ultrasonics for the excitation and detection of surface acoustic waves for materials characterisation. This technique meets many of the requirements of a suitable inspection technique for SLM, such as non-destructive, and early studies have confirmed the ability to detect defects and measure microstructure in SLM parts using SRAS. However, significant challenges remain as the technique and instrumentation is developed towards online measurements. This talk will discuss the merits of using SRAS for in-process inspection for defect detection and characterisation, with a review to enabling remedial action. Discussion will touch on system capability, including a time-cost model and progress towards build system integration. Particular focus will be paid to the detection and characterisation of porosity, both subsurface and surface breaking.},

The capability of a non-destructive laser ultrasonic inspection technique -- spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) – is presented for characterising silicon cell wafer's microstructure and grains orientation; scanning times, sample surface preparation and system upgrades for silicon measurement are also discussed.
