Effect of recycled fibers and shredded intermediates variation on the mechanical properties and energy absorption of fiber‐reinforced composite panels
Abstract The global composite industry generates large quantities of waste which mostly ends up in landfills due to a lack of established end‐use applications for multiple waste streams. The scrap from end‐of‐life (EoL) includes manufacturing waste such as dry chopped fiber tows, loose fibers, shredded fibers from fabric textile operations, cured/semi‐cured prepregs, and fully cured composite structure waste from aircraft, automobiles, wind blades, boats, and pressure vessels. In this work, different composite waste streams were reduced to shredded intermediates, followed by simple blending, and subjected to wet compression molding to produce composite panels. The panels/plaques were tested for mechanical properties (flexure and impact), fiber‐matrix wet‐out, and property bounds. It was found that wet‐compression molding was a viable and scale‐able approach to produce recycled panels from EoL composites shredded scrap. Furthermore, full‐scale size panels for use in truck bodies and intermodal shipping container flooring were manufactured and their impact resistance was tested using a drop weight impact test. They were tested both for high‐ and low‐velocity load. In the case of high‐velocity load, the average impact load was 14,673 N; the average absorbed energy was 101.6 J; the average elastic energy was 11.7 J and the impact resistance was 1065 J/m. In the case of the low‐velocity drop weight impact test, it was found that the average impact load was 7877.358 N; the average absorbed energy was 9.718 J; the average elastic energy was 9.14 J, and the impact resistance was 184.1 J/m. The shredded composite was shown to be a candidate material for the manufacture of truck bodies and intermodal containers’ flooring panels. Highlights By using shredded intermediates from different composite waste streams, it is possible to manufacture composite panels. Wet–compression process is an appropriate technique for manufacturing recycled fiber composite panels. Regardless of the source of scrap, the mechanical properties of the produced composite panels were improved. The recycling process technology can be transformed to commercial scale to produce full‐size transportation flooring panels. A product pathway is established in consideration of lower cost and improved recyclability.

Experimental Fabrication of Porous Additive Manufactured Material
Nuclear industries can benefit from materials that can perform well mechanically and thermally in high temperature and corrosion environments. Functionally graded materials (FGM) are materials manufactured with complex spatial, structural, and chemical compositions, creating components predesigned with tailored microstructural and mechanical properties. Porosity-graded FGMs are designed to introduce pores into a component’s structure as a mechanism to increase bulk or surface material performance, such as stress accommodation and negative thermal conductivity. Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as laser energy net shape (LENS) and wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), excel in high energy density, point-to-point metal deposition, and present in combination with other combinatorial approaches, exciting methods to manufacture porous FGM components. This project is also examining plasma jet printing as another means for method evaluations for smaller scale graded components. This study explores AM FGM process parameters and combinatorial fabrication methodologies for stainless steel components functionally graded in porosity levels. Preliminary characterization results are provided to attest the feasibility of the combinational fabrication techniques.

Performance of discontinuity-free components produced by additive turning computer aided manufacturing strategy
Computer aided manufacturing (CAM) techniques for directed energy deposition (DED) affect the material properties of the manufactured component based on the scan strategy used. In this study, we investigate the material characteristics of turning-style toolpath strategies to generate axisymmetric components with additive manufacturing (AM), referred to in this research as additive turning. This novel approach leverages existing CAM technology for turning, where the component rotates around a stationary cutting tool, to generate toolpath trajectories for DED with varying wall-thicknesses and controlled deposition angles. This strategy allows for entire components to be deposited in one continuous deposition, resulting in reduced cycle-time and improved material usage efficiency compared to conventional AM strategies where the beam is switched off at the end of every layer. Results from this study show that the use of additive turning can produce over 99 % dense components with less variation and anisotropy in texture and hardness, as well as a lower variation in elongation to failure when compared to conventional strategies. This research highlights that various CAM strategies could be deployed for AM to improve process efficiency or enable localized control over part performance.

Securing Smart Manufacturing: Detection of Cyber-Physical Attacks in CNC-Based Systems
As Industry 4.0 advances, the integration of computer numerical control (CNC) machines and advanced manufacturing technologies is transforming production into smart manufacturing systems that blend physical and digital processes as cyber-physical systems. However, this increased cyber-physical connectivity exposes manufacturing systems to cyber threats that can cause severe operational and financial disruptions. This paper presents a comparative study on cyber attacks and anomaly detection techniques in manufacturing, focusing on network traffic from CNC machines. The data extracted from network packets includes machine commands and control signals exchanged between the machine's interface and control system, crucial for maintaining operational integrity. We explore two types of cyber attacks, design modification and command injection, which pose substantial risks to CNC machine productivity and system integrity. Our investigation involves experiments on a real CNC system, highlighting the urgent need for effective detection mechanisms. To address these threats, we evaluate three anomaly detection methods: dynamic time warping (DTW), rolling average, and a deep learning, long short-term memory (LSTM) time-series-based autoencoder. Each is assessed for its effectiveness in identifying anomalous behaviors caused by the attacks. Our findings demonstrate the unique strengths and limitations of each detection technique, providing a deeper understanding of their applicability in realworld manufacturing environments. The comparative analysis indicates that while certain methods are highly effective against specific attack types, others offer broader applicability across different attacks. This study contributes to the accurate detection of anomalies in CNC machining processes, thereby enhancing the reliability and security of smart manufacturing systems against diverse cyber threats.

Processability and Material Behavior of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys Using Wire Laser-Directed Energy Deposition (WL-DED)
Utilizing additive manufacturing (AM) techniques with shape memory alloys (SMAs) like NiTi shows great promise for fabricating highly flexible and functionally superior 3D metallic structures. Compared to methods relying on powder feedstocks, wire-based additive manufacturing processes provide a viable alternative, addressing challenges such as chemical composition instability, material availability, higher feedstock costs, and limitations on part size while simplifying process development. This study presented a novel approach by thoroughly assessing the printability of Ni-rich Ni55.94Ti (Wt. %) SMA using the wire laser-directed energy deposition (WL-DED) technique, addressing the existing knowledge gap regarding the laser wire-feed metal additive manufacturing of NiTi alloys. For the first time, the impact of processing parameters—specifically laser power (400–1000 W) and transverse speed (300–900 mm/min)—on single-track fabrication using NiTi wires in the WL-DED process was examined. An optimal range of process parameters was determined to achieve high-quality prints with minimal defects, such as wire dripping, stubbing, and overfilling. Building upon these findings, we printed five distinct cubes, demonstrating the feasibility of producing nearly porosity-free specimens. Notably, this study investigated the effect of energy density on the printed part density, impurity pick-up, transformation temperature, and hardness of the manufactured NiTi cubes. The results from the cube study demonstrated that varying energy densities (46.66–70 J/mm3) significantly affected the quality of the deposits. Lower to intermediate energy densities achieved high relative densities (>99%) and favorable phase transformation temperatures. In contrast, higher energy densities led to instability in melt pool shape, increased porosity, and discrepancies in phase transformation temperatures. These findings highlighted the critical role of precise parameter control in achieving functional NiTi parts and offer valuable insights for advancing AM techniques in fabricating larger high-quality NiTi components. Additionally, our research highlighted important considerations for civil engineering applications, particularly in the development of seismic dampers for energy dissipation in structures, offering a promising solution for enhancing structural performance and energy management in critical infrastructure.

Additive manufacturing of metal matrix composites
Although Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are superior to most sought-after metallic alloys, their challenging fabricability has limited their widespread use in bulk-form applications. Among the many advanced fabrication techniques, Additive Manufacturing (AM), owing to its unique capabilities to produce near-net shapes, has drawn significant traction in the past two decades, especially for materials that are difficult to process using traditional methods. However, unlike pure metal/alloy systems, MMCs are highly sensitive to the processing conditions prevailing in AM techniques due to factors such as the high melting point of reinforcement particles and the potential for in-situ reactions. Therefore, it may be a while before metal matrix composites are commercially produced via AM. This review will discuss the current state-of-the-art design, fabricability, and performance of various additively manufactured MMCs. A particular focus will be on microstructural evolution and microstructure-property relationships. The most employed AM techniques, such as directed energy deposition, powder bed fusion, binder jetting, sheet lamination, and solid-state friction stir processing, are fundamentally different in terms of thermo-kinetics, forming the perspective for this review. A detailed comparison of microstructural evolution and process parameter optimization, including feedstock preparation methods and the role of machine learning and modeling among the different AM processes, is also presented. Finally, a critical evaluation of emerging AM technologies for MMCs is also provided, highlighting their potential advantages and challenges.

Glass Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing of a Fiber Optic Rotary Encoder for Downhole Pressure Sensing
This article presents a fiber optic rotary encoder-based pressure sensor for downhole applications. The rotary encoder, which is composed of an encoding pad and an all-glass optical fiber sensing head, converts the rotation angles of a pressure transducer to digital codes. The optical fiber only serves as the telemetry channel to directly transmit the data in digital format such that the environmental temperature influence and the long-time drift are minimized. The glass additive and subtractive manufacturing (ASM) techniques are used to embed the multichannel optical fibers into a bulk-fused silica glass substrate. Because the fused silica glass shares a similar material property to the optical fiber (e.g., thermal expansion coefficient), the optical fiber sensing head is well sealed and fixed even at an elevated temperature. The picosecond laser blackening technique is used to fabricate the high reflectivity contrast encoding pad with high accuracy. Here, the proposed pressure sensor was manufactured and experimentally verified to have a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 23 dB and a linear pressure response with a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.37. During the 400-h 250 °C long-term stability test, there was no digital code variation. In addition, a mathematical model to study the relationships between the sensor’s performances and design parameters was established. According to the model, a 12-bit encoder (0.02% pressure sensitivity) can be achieved with a radius of 20 mm.

Design of Novel Hot Gas Component for Gas Turbine Engines Enabled by Materials and Additive Manufacturing Process Development
This CRADA project was the result of a project award under FOA-DOE-0001980. The overarching FOA project team consisted of researchers from Carpenter Technology Corporation (CTC), Solar Turbines Incorporated (Solar), Pennsylvania State University (PSU), University of California-Santa Barbara (UCSB), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Evaluations were conducted on two high-γ’ superalloys that were designed by CTC and the UCSB. One alloy named GammaPrint-700 (GP-700) is a cobalt-base superalloy. The other alloy named GammaPrint-1100 (GP-1100) is a nickel-base (Ni-base) superalloy. PSU provided expertise and experimental testing of the thermal performance of AM micro-cooling architectures. ORNL provided expertise with the AM superalloy materials characterization and AM processing science. Solar provided turbine component design expertise. The focus of this CRADA report is to document the efforts between ORNL and CTC towards the development of superalloys designed for AM. The project goal was to use an AM processable high-temperature superalloy and design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) techniques to design an efficient turbine component (i.e. a turbine tip shoe) with enhanced cooling features that can only be fabricated through additive manufacturing (AM). The efficiencies of existing combined heat and power (CHP) engines are capped by both component design and materials limitations. However, AM of a tip shoe component from a γ’strengthened superalloy offers the design flexibility to increase the efficiency and power of an industrial gas turbine. This project brought about advancements in the DfAM tip shoe design space and in the area of high temperature superalloys processable through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) AM. State of art computation design tools were utilized to optimize unique cooling features into a tip shoe component design. A two-prong materials development approach was taken to support development of the AM tip shoe geometry. The first approach centered on investigating the processability and the appropriate process science for the industry standard high-γ’ nickel-base (Ni-base) superalloy Mar-M247. This superalloy is typically cast and considered non-weldable by traditional welding standards. In the course of this work, the alloy was not deemed feasible for process scale-up due to significant cracking issues during printing. The second approach focused on the development and evaluation of a novel cobalt-base superalloy, GammaPrint™-700 (GP-700 and a Ni-base superalloy, GammaPrint™-1100 (GP-1100) designed to mitigate the significant AM processing issues with Mar-M247. The processability of these two alloys were investigated through electron beam melting (EBM) binder-jet AM (BJAM), and LPBF as a risk mitigation for manufacturability. To be considered a candidate material for down-selection to proceed to full-scale AM tip shoe engine testing trials, the high temperature creep rupture strength was required to achieve at a minimum, a Larsen Miller Parameter (LMP) increase of 10.9% over the baseline material LPBF AM Hastelloy X.

Freeform Hybrid Manufacturing: Binderjet, Structured Light Scanning, Confocal Microscopy, and CNC Machining
This paper describes a hybrid manufacturing approach for silicon carbide (SiC) freeform surfaces using binder jet additive manufacturing (BJAM) to print the preform and machining to obtain the design geometry. Although additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as BJAM allow for the fabrication of complex geometries, additional machining or grinding is often required to achieve the desired surface finish and shape. Hybrid manufacturing has been shown to provide an effective solution. However, hybrid manufacturing also has its own challenges, depending on the combination of processes. For example, when the subtractive and additive manufacturing steps are performed sequentially on separate systems, it is necessary to define a common coordinate system for part transfer. This can be difficult because AM preforms do not inherently contain features that can serve as datums. Additionally, it is important to confirm that the intended final geometry is contained within the AM preform. The approach described here addresses these challenges by using structured light scanning to create a stock model for machining. Results show that a freeform surface was machined with approximately 70 µm of maximum deviation from that which was planned.

Air-to-Liquid Heat Exchanger Fabricated Using Deposition-Based Additive Manufacturing Processes
Abstract This work describes the use of deposition-based additive manufacturing (AM) techniques to fabricate air-cooled, two-fluid heat exchangers. The project focused on a Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning application and used an industry-standard copper/aluminum heat exchanger manufactured with conventional technology as the basis for assessing performance. The manufacturing constraints associated with using deposition-based AM technology for this application include the need for a continuous tool path within each build layer that allows uninterrupted extrusion and therefore defect-free water channel walls that correspond to a reliably leak-tight heat exchanger. A geometry that respects these constraints was developed, simulated, optimized and finally manufactured and tested. The material used was a composite of polymer filled with conductive flakes in order to provide high conductivity in the direction that heat must flow in this heat exchanger, across the wall separating the fluids. The measured performance for several test coupons matched the predicted performance and the test coupons exhibited performance that approach and in some cases exceeds conventional technology

Advances in high-pressure and high-temperature heat exchangers: Innovations via additive manufacturing and their applications
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of technological developments and applications for high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) heat exchangers produced through additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. As the demand for high-efficiency energy systems has been rising, the role of heat exchangers for thermal management and transport is becoming increasingly crucial. In this context, AM has emerged as a promising manufacturing solution to address the challenges posed by higher operating temperatures and/or pressures. This paper delves into three primary areas: the exploration of HPHT regimes supported by conventional heat exchangers, the impact of AM processes on thermal transport devices, and the discussion focused on HPHT heat exchangers produced via AM. The study examines the traditional manufacturing processes, materials, structures and geometries, and limitations of the commonly used heat exchangers for HPHT applications. Furthermore, it highlights the potential of AM in optimizing HPHT heat exchanger design, by reviewing studies that enable uniform flow distribution, minimization of fouling, and thermo-hydraulic performance augmentation without compromising structural stability. While addressing the limitations of cost, size, and other constraints, this study offers insights into the possibilities of AM in revolutionizing HPHT heat exchanger technology. The goal has been to fill the gap in literature by summarizing key studies, findings, and limitations, presenting a detailed examination, and proposing new areas for research. In conclusion, this review contributes to a deeper understanding of AM’s role in advancing HPHT heat exchangers for future energy systems.

X-ray Computed Tomography as a Metrology Technique for the Analysis of Additively Manufactured Material
X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT) is an analytical technique used in materials science to non-destructively characterize features in a variety materials like polymer, metals, composites, and explosives. It also has the capability of imaging additively manufacture, machine and assembled parts. The non-destructive imaging allows for the analysis of features (voids and cracks), which give a fundamental understanding of the material characteristics. Additionally, X-ray CT can obtain accurate measurements of dimensional and topographic variations due to different stimuli and assess the accuracy of material production. This study focuses on parts manufactured via metal additive manufacturing (AM). Although AM produces parts faster and easier, the printing process can produce defects (pores and surface roughness) that undermine the part’s mechanical properties and performance. The analysis of 3D printed objects has an asset in that the material has an STL file from which the item was printed, which is not available in many manufactured materials (i.e., foams) due to stochastic structures. For this study, the print accuracy of four additively manufactured cylinders will be assessed via X-ray CTto approximate the surface roughness and visualize any major morphological changes to assess the dimensional accuracy of complex additively manufactured parts. It was concluded that using X-ray CT to measure surface roughness was affective because reasonable surface roughness values were measured. Additionally, itwas determined that small-scale features can be produced via additive manufacturing with strong dimensional accuracy so long as the features are highly complex with sharp grooves.

Multimodal Defect Imaging of Pure Tungsten Components Fabricated via Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
The utilization of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques for refractory materials in high-temperature environments has significantly expanded because of the ability to fabricate geometrically complex components. Electron beam powder bed fusion (EB-PBF), which provides lower residual stress, a cleaner vacuum environment, and better efficiency for high melting point, is one of the best-suited AM methods to produce advanced refractory components. However, the property variation attributed to the heterogeneous microstructure and process-induced defects has hindered the widespread adoption of EB-PBF-produced material like tungsten. While numerous in-situ monitoring and defect detection methods have been demonstrated for EB-PBF, a workflow that compares and evaluates process-induced abnormalities from different imaging perspectives is still limited. This study examines a feature-embedded tungsten component manufactured via the EB-PBF process to demonstrate the defect detection capabilities of a multimodal defect imaging workflow. The predefined and process-induced defects are evaluated by harnessing various imaging techniques, including in-situ electron imaging, layerwise near-infrared (NIR) imaging, post-build high-energy x-ray computed tomography (CT), and conventional destructive metallography. The results highlight the strengths and limitations of distinctive defect imaging techniques concerning specific defect types, sizes, and conditions. It was found that electron imaging can provide more abnormal detection capabilities while maintaining a higher measuring accuracy, against the conventional metallography in this case study, compared with NIR and CT imaging techniques.

Influence of Spatter on Porosity, Microstructure, and Corrosion of Additively Manufactured Stainless Steel Printed Using Different Island Size
Specimens of 316 L stainless steel were printed using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), a popular metal additive manufacturing (AM) technique, with varying island sizes. Not many researchers have considered the impact of spatter while optimizing LPBF printing parameters. In this research, the influence of spatter was considered while also investigating the effect of varied island size on the microstructure, surface roughness, microhardness, and corrosion resistance of LPBF-316 L. No correlation was observed between surface roughness or microhardness and minor variations in island size. However, a correlation was drawn between varied island sizes and porosity in LPBF-316 L. The specimens associated with larger island sizes showed significantly enhanced corrosion resistance due to fewer manufacturing defects and reduced porosity, attributed to the minimal influence of the spatter. Based on analysis, the LPBF parameters were revised, which lead to superior corrosion resistance of LPBF-316 L, attributed to high density and reduced porosity.
