Abstract:

Airframe industry has not yet adopted Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology for primary load carry structural production. This is mainly due to lack of generic economic quality control methods to detect manufacturing defects that compromise fatigue strength. This study done for Ti-6AL-4V Powder Bed Fusion (PBF), Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology presents an approach of allowed defects characterization to be used for quality control criteria.
