| Abstract Scope |
Directed Energy Deposition (DED) Additive Manufacturing (AM) utilises a blown powder feedstock and a laser heat input to build up near net shape components in a layer wise fashion, for repair or reconditioning applications, particularly in the aerospace and automotive sectors. Process optimisation is a key concern in DED, with narrow processing windows and a larger build scale compared to some other AM techniques. Flow behaviour in DED melt pools plays a critical role in the process-structure-properties relationship. It can impact thermal gradients, solute transport, and localised undercooling, all of which are controlling factors for grain structure and defect formation. In this work, we use in situ synchrotron radiography to examine the impact of an applied static magnetic field on the melt pool flow in a nickel superalloy, demonstrating how through the thermoelectric magnetohydrodynamic force, the flow can be modified, and subsequently, the melt pool shape can be externally modified. |
