| Abstract Scope |
The incorporation of digital controls and active closed-loop process parameter feedback into a flexible deformation processing station intrinsically affords the capacity to employ specific thermomechanical processing (TMP) pathways as a function of location within a component. This capacity will allow for the design and production of structural engineering components with the physical and mechanical properties tailored to location within the part. Local microstructure control is, of course, possible in conventional processing, but without the flexibility to create unlimited numbers of unique component geometries in a single processing unit. The repeatability of digitally controlled processing equipment, the incorporation of in-situ monitoring of critical processing parameters, the ability to use any input material, and ultimately, the ability to use real-time microstructural development feedback supported by fundamental understanding and modeling, has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about component design and manufacturing. |
