Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The additive manufacturing and non-destructive testing technologies of metal materials are widely used in aerospace, biomedical, petrochemical, and weapon equipment fields, among others. The great potential of these technologies and their advantages over traditional metal components (associated with preparation and performance testing methods) have attracted the attention of researchers in various fields of knowledge.

The proposed Special Issue will cover all areas related to theory and methodology, science, technology, and applications of additive manufacturing and non-destructive testing technologies of metal materials. Papers on the application of non-destructive testing technology in the field of additive manufacturing, as well as the testing and simulation of residual stress, will be particularly very popular.

Additive manufacturing is a promising technology used for the fabrication of metal components. It can realize the direct forming of high-performanceand compact metal parts with complex structures. However, defects and residual stresses that occur during the manufacturing process are inevitable. Therefore, monitoring the additive manufacturing process and detecting the final state of components are very important, and this urgent demand also presents new opportunities and challenges for non-destructive testing technology.

Abstract
Herein, we conducted a comprehensive statistical assessment of the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) method’s effectiveness in predicting concrete strength under diverse conditions, specifically early age, middle age, and high-temperature exposure. The concrete mixtures, with water-to-cement (W/C) ratios of 0.33 and 0.28, were classified [...] Read more.
Herein, we conducted a comprehensive statistical assessment of the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) method’s effectiveness in predicting concrete strength under diverse conditions, specifically early age, middle age, and high-temperature exposure. The concrete mixtures, with water-to-cement (W/C) ratios of 0.33 and 0.28, were classified as granite aggregate or coal-ash aggregate mixes. Compressive strength and UPV measurements were performed under these conditions, and subsequent statistical analyses treated the identified factors as distinct groups. The results revealed a substantial difference in compressive strength between specimens at early age (average of 13.01) and those at middle age (average of 41.96) and after high-temperature exposure (average of 48.08). Conversely, UPV analysis showed an insignificant difference between the early-age specimens and those after high-temperature exposure. The analysis of the W/C ratio and coarse aggregate demonstrated significant differences (p-value < 0.05) in compressive strength between specimens in middle age and those exposed to high temperatures, excluding the early-age specimens. However, UPV analysis revealed insignificant differences, with p-values of 0.67 and 0.38 between specimens at an early age and post-high-temperature exposure, respectively. Regression analysis identified suitable functions for each scenario, emphasizing the importance of a strength prediction model for concrete after high-temperature exposure, particularly considering the W/C ratio. Since concrete showed statistically different compressive strength, UPV, and strength prediction models in three conditions (early age, middle age, and high temperature), different strength prediction models must be used for the purpose of accurately predicting the strength of concrete.

In this study, the effects of Z-0°, Z-67°, Z-90°, I-67°, and S-67° scanning strategies on the surface morphology, microstructure, and corrosion resistance of the specimens in SLM316L were systematically studied. The results show that the partition scanning path can effectively improve the manufacturing quality of the specimen, reduce the cumulative roughness layer by layer, and increase the density of the specimen. The scan path of the island partition of the fine partition is better than that of the strip partition; moreover, the 67° rotation between each layer reduces the accumulation of the height difference of the melt pool, fills the scanning gap of the previous layer, and improves the molding quality of the sample. Electrochemical tests were performed in an aqueous solution of NaCl (3.5 wt%), including open-circuit potential (OCP), dynamic potential polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the specimen with a 67° rotation between each layer achieves stability of the surface potential in a short time, and the I-67° specimen exhibits good corrosion performance, while the Z-0° specimen has the worst corrosion resistance.

The preheating of the substrate in laser additive superalloys can reduce residual stress and minimize cracking. However, this preheating process can lead to changes in the heat transfer conditions, ultimately affecting the resulting microstructure and mechanical properties. In order to explore the influence of substrate preheating on the formation of laser cladding, this research focuses on investigating the characteristics of Inconel 718, a nickel-based superalloy, as the subject of study. To simulate the temperature and flow field of laser cladding, a 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is employed. By varying the initial preheating conditions, an investigation is conducted into the distribution of the temperature field under different parameters. This leads to the acquisition of varying temperature gradients, G, and solidification speeds, R. Subsequently, an analysis is carried out on both the flow field and solidification microstructure in the melt pool. The results demonstrate that the preheating of the substrate results in a slower cooling rate, ultimately leading to the formation of a coarser microstructure. Full article
