Neutrons identify internal stress in 3D printed parts

28th April 2021 10:37 am 28th April 2021 10:37 am A neutron source has been used to perform non-destructive testing on 3D printed gas turbine components in Germany. Neutron diffraction is an ideal method for measuring residual stress inside of components made by additive manufacturing (Image: Dr. Tobias Fritsch/BAM) Air-cooled latticed turbine buckets operate at extreme temperatures and pressures within gas turbines. Their complex structure can be created additively, with selective laser sintering the technology widely used. “Complex components with such intricate structures would be impossible to make using conventional manufacturing methods like casting or milling,” said Dr Tobias Fritsch, from the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM).

One example is the production of novel turbine buckets. However, the 3D printing process often induces internal stress in the components which can in the worst case lead to cracks. Now a research team has succeeded in using neutrons from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) research neutron source for non-destructive detection of this internal stress - a key achievement for the improvement of the production processes.
