🔥If you haven't read our work, please check out how synchrotron X-ray imaging has helped us to develop printing strategy to minimise spatter whilst gaining insights into spatter dynamics during LPBF of CP1. 📣📣 What a fantastic international collaboration led by Da Guo and group members: Rubén Lambert-Garcia, Samy Hocine, Xianqiang Fan, Peter Lee, and Chu Lun Alex Leung (UCL Mechanical Engineering and Research Complex at Harwell); and industrial partners Henry Greenhalgh (HiETA Technologies/Parker Hannifin), Ravi Shahani (Constellium), Marta Majkut and Alexander Rack (ESRF - The European Synchrotron) We're grateful for the ESRF and their support on our LTP ME-1573 and all other staff + students involved during the beam time. Special thanks to Yue YAO from International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing who has been working with our team to get this lovely animated cover. #PAAM #MAPP #MMSC #IC2C #MSMH #IAM #DreamBeam #RCaH #RAEngResearch
Check out #IJEM's latest animated cover on "Seeing the Invisible: How X-rays Unveil Keyhole and Spatter Dynamics in 3D Printing"! Spatter formation in 3D printing can lead to defects impacting surface quality and fatigue performance of components, while traditional methods often struggle to capture ultra-fast spatter phenomena due to resolution limitations. In IJEM's No. 5 Vol. 6 edition, Prof. Chu Lun Alex Leung, Prof. Peter Lee, and their team demonstrate in situ observation of spatter and keyhole behavior in 3D printing using high-speed synchrotron X-ray imaging. By unveiling the correlation between spatter dynamics and keyhole/depression morphology under industry conditions, they suggest a printing strategy for minimising defects and improving the surface quality of 3D-printed parts.
