Evaluation of Additively-Manufactured Internal Geometrical Features Using X-ray-Computed Tomography

X-ray-computed tomography (CT) is today’s gold standard for the non-destructive evaluation of internal component defects such as cracks and porosity. Using automated standardized algorithms, an analysis can be performed without knowledge shape, location, or size defects. Both measurement are based on fact that has no structures cavities. However, additive manufacturing (AM) hybrid subtractive procedures offer possibility integrating directly during building process. The examination powder bed fusion (PBF) samples made Ti64 PA12 showed methods were not able to identify correctly. Different CT-measured values analyzed recommendations a procedure measuring given.
