Abstract
En 中文
Additive manufacturing offers significant design freedom and the ability to selectively influence material properties. However, conventional processes like laser powder bed fusion for metals may result in internal defects, such as pores, which profoundly affect the mechanical characteristics of the components. The extent of this influence varies depending on the specific defect type, its size, and morphology. Furthermore, a single component may exhibit various defect types due to the manufacturing process. To investigate these occurrences with regard to other target variables, this study presents a random forest tree model capable of classifying defects in binary images derived from micrographs. Our approach demonstrates a classification accuracy of approximately 95% when distinguishing between keyhole and lack of fusion defects, as well as process pores. In contrast, unsupervised models yielded prediction accuracies below 60%. The model's accuracy in differentiating between lack of fusion and keyhole defects varies based on the manufacturing process's parameters, primarily due to the irregular shapes of keyhole defects. We provide the model alongside this paper, which can be utilized on a standard computer without the need for in situ monitoring systems during the additive manufacturing process.
