Spatiotemporally Registered In-Situ and Ex-Situ Datasets for Laser-based Blown Powder Directed Energy Deposition

This dataset is comprised of in situ sensing data collected during laser-based, blown powder directed energy deposition (DED) of Inconel 718 representing eight different printing conditions: (1) nominal, (2) +15% scan speed, (3) +12% laser power, (4) +42% powder feed rate, (5) +100% jerk limit, (6) +10% layer height, (7) +20% hatch spacing, (8) +20% carrier gas flow. All eight DED builds constructed an identical test coupon geometry consisting of geometric features representative of industrial print requirements (e.g., bulk deposition, thin walls, overhangs). In situ data consists of xyz-coordinates (100 Hz) and on-axis melt pool camera video (60 Hz), both of which have been temporally synchronized to spatially map the melt pool camera data. In addition, post-build X-ray computed tomography (XCT) data for each of the eight test geometries have been spatially registered to the recorded xyz-coordinates, allowing for comparisons between melt pool camera data and flaws identified in the XCT data.

Denoising diffusion probabilistic models for generative alloy design

Inverse material design is an extremely challenging optimization task made difficult by, in part, the highly nonlinear relationship linking performance with composition. Quantitative approaches have improved significantly owing to advances in high throughput experimentation and computational thermodynamics. However, existing physics-based tools are mostly forward models; input a chemistry and obtain a prediction. More recently the materials community has leveraged advances in the machine learning community to establish novel inverse design frameworks. Very recently denoising diffusion probabilistic models have been shown to be extremely powerful generators producing synthetic data of various modalities e.g. images, text, audio, tables, etc.. In this work a novel framework for alloy design and optimization is proposed leveraging these class of models. Five key generative tasks are demonstrated (1) unconditional generation (2) composition conditioned generation (3) property conditioned generation (4) multi-feedstock conditioned generation and (5) generative optimization. These methods were tested on three case studies: high entropy alloy design, superalloy binder jet additive manufacturing, and in-situ dual-feedstock wire-arc additive manufacturing. Results indicate that the established models are extremely flexible, expressive, and robust. The architecture’s flexibility and training procedure empower the model to learn complex intra-compositional and composition-property relationships. Furthermore, the probabilistic nature of these models makes them well suited for addressing solution non-uniqueness and tackling uncertainty quantification tasks. While the fidelity and quantity of the underlying training data is paramount, we envision that future alloy design frameworks will make extensive use of these kinds of machine learning models as “search” tools bolstering the utility of experimental and computational approaches.

A Co-Registered In-Situ and Ex-Situ Dataset of Electrical, Acoustic, and CT Characteristics from Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing Process

Recent progress in sensing techniques and data analytics tools have significantly accelerated the development of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) systems. This data centric approach emphasizes leveraging available data throughout the production process to optimize performance. Integration of extensive data analysis provides the opportunity to improve precision, reduce waste, and enhance the quality of produced parts. This method relies on AI/ML models and optimization techniques, which are developed using the data collected from various sources, including in-situ sensors, ex-situ imaging, and manufacturing process parameters. The quality and diversity of this data, along with the alignment between different data streams (achieved through spatiotemporal registration) are critical for the successful development of AI/ML and optimization models. In this work, we present a spatiotemporally registered dataset generated during the WAAM process of deposition of a rectangular block. The dataset includes the comprehensive description of deposition process, process parameters, in-situ collected welding characteristics, acoustic data, and X-Ray Computed Tomography analysis data for the build. Dataset A Co-Registered In-Situ and Ex-Situ Dataset of Electrical, Acoustic, and CT Characteristics from Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing Process has arisen under UT-Battelle, LLC’s Prime Contract No. DE-AC05-00OR22725 with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to manage and operate the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. UT-Battelle, LLC will not assert any rights under United States law or under the Prime Contract it has in the dataset against any user of the dataset, including any copyrights or patent rights. UT-Battelle, LLC requests that attribution to the dataset is provided as academically appropriate.

Peregrine Software Development: Report on the Code Conversion From Python to C++

This work package seeks to convert the Peregrine software tool from its original Python implementation to a production version based on the C++ language. Peregrine is a powerful research platform with a multitude of advanced data analytics and data visualization functionalities. Developed by scientists to explore multimodal and multidimensional data related to the production of components using powder bed additive manufacturing processes, the tool implements state-of-the-art algorithms to assist machine users in making build or part quality determinations. Given that Peregrine is data-intensive, the goal of this conversion is to enhance the tool’s flexibility and interactivity and reduce the number of code dependencies to facilitate its deployment as part of the ongoing technology transfer campaign. This brief document provides an overview of Peregrine’s functionalities and capabilities, along with a detailed description of the core functionalities that have been implemented to date in the new C++ version. This document serves as a development update at the end of the first year of the ongoing conversion and will be regularly updated as progress continues.

FY 2024 Multidimensional Data Correlation Platform Data Management Infrastructure Progress: Materials Laboratory

This report provides an inventory of the equipment available at the ORNL Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) for sample preparation and material characterization, including both destructive and non-destructive techniques that generate critical data to support the development of the Multi-Dimensional Data Correlation (MDDC) framework. The success of the MDDC framework depends heavily on the quality and completeness of the data it can access. Therefore, it is essential to establish a comprehensive inventory of the technologies available to the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMT) multi-laboratory team. This starts by gathering information about the types of data they produce, the data collection and transfer protocols used, file formats, and data storage requirements for experiments. This information is then carefully evaluated to create the operations and trackables elements of the Damara Tern platform, which is the foundation of the MDDC framework.
