This paper considers the three-dimensional (3D) shape measurement of metal parts during an additive manufacturing process in a direct energy deposition (DED) printing system with high temperature and strong light; a binocular measurement system based on ultraviolet light source projection is built using fringe projection and Fourier analysis. Firstly, ultraviolet light projection and an optical filter are used to obtain high-quality fringe patterns in an environment with thermal radiation. Then, Fourier analysis is carried out by using a single deformed fringe, and a spatial phase unwrapping algorithm is applied to obtain an unambiguous unwrapping phase, which is used as the guiding basis for the binocular matching process and 3D shape reconstruction. Finally, the accuracy of the measuring system is evaluated using a standard ball-bar gauge and the measurement error of this system is within 0.05 mm @ 100 × 100 mm. The results show that the system can measure 3D shape changes of metal parts in the additive manufacturing process. The proposed method and system have the potential to be used for online inspection and quality control of additive manufacturing.
Based on the resarch of the traditional Fourier transform profilometry, Fourier transform profilometry of tilted measurement system is proposed in this paper. The proposed technology makes the three constraints of the traditional Fourier transform profilometry measurement system less stringent. The optical axis in the CCD imaging system is not necessarily perpendicular (with a certain tilting angle) to the reference plane. The connection line between the centers of the exit pupil of the projecting system and the entrance pupil of the CCD imaging system is not required to be horizontal to the reference plane. The optical axis of the CCD imaging system and that of the projecting system are not coplanar, moreover, the two axises do not intersect at a point in the reference plane. Through the stringent theoretical analysis, the mathematical relationship between phase and height is obtained. Compared with the traditional Fourier transform profilometry, the tilted measurement system is more practical.
Ultrahigh strength steels were additively manufactured (AM) using different batches of powders by means of the laser metal deposition (LMD) technique. After quenching and tempering treatments, the microstructures, mechanical properties, and fracture modes of ultrahigh strength steels were investigated by several testing methods. The results demonstrate that martensite and Fe3C cementite were found in the three specimens after quenching and tempering treatments, and the tempered martensite microstructure had a lamellar structure in all specimens. The widths of these martensite lathes were observed to be different for the APHT-1, APHT-2, and APHT-3 samples, and their sizes were 1.92 ± 0.90 μm, 1.87 ± 1.09 μm, and 1.82 ± 0.85 μm, respectively. The martensitic steel exhibited excellent mechanical properties (tensile strength and impact toughness). The yield strength and the ultimate tensile strength of the APHT-3 sample reached 1582 MPa and 1779 MPa, respectively. Moreover, the value of the impact energy for the APHT-1 sample was 46.4 J. In addition, with the changes in the batches of ultrahigh strength steel powders, the fracture mode changed from ductile fracture to brittle fracture under tensile force and impact loads.
