Geometry design invokes different thermal histories. Temperature monitored using IR camera and thermocouples validating scan path resolved models. Thermal results and ICME tools predict phase transformations, microstructures and mechanical properties.

Caption

A simple yet effective benchmark geometry was designed to invoke different thermal histories in different regions of the build. The process is monitored using an IR camera and thermocouples to verify and validate the scan path resolved simulation. Having validated the thermal results ICME tools are applied to predict phase transformation and microstructures which are in turn used to predict material properties.
