Abstract
A new method to measure the depth of subsurface defects in additive manufacturing components is proposed based on the velocity dispersion analysis of Lamb waves by the wavelet-transform of laser ultrasound. Firstly, the mode-conversion from laser-generated surface waves to Lamb waves caused by subsurface defects at different depths is studied systematically. Secondly, an additive manufactured 316L stainless steel sample with six subsurface defects has been fabricated to validate the efficiency of the proposed method. The measured result of the defect depth is very close to the real designed value, with a fitting coefficient of 0.98. The defect depth range for high accuracy measurement is suggested to be lower than 0.8 mm, which is enough to meet the inspection of layer thickness during additive manufacturing. The result indicates that the proposed method based on laser-generated ultrasound (LGU) velocity dispersion analysis is robust and reliable for defect depth measurement and meaningful to improve the processing quality and processing efficiency of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing.
