Abstract: A method for inspecting a component made using an additive manufacturing process, the component having an internal conduit, is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method includes the steps of: attaching a fluid-blocking header to the component, the fluid-blocking header having an internal conformal surface configured to mate with an external conformal surface of the component; introducing a plugging media into the internal conduit; activating the fluid-blocking header to freeze the plugging media in a vicinity of the fluid-blocking header; pressurizing the internal conduit of the component; and analyzing a fluid flow characteristic at an outlet of the component to assess an occurrence of a blockage within the internal conduit.

Abstract: A health monitoring system for monitoring a lifecycle of an additively manufactured component having a microcrystalline structure that can be subjected to a cyclic operational stress is disclosed. The health monitoring system includes a plurality of additively manufactured health monitoring coupons disposed on the component in a representative position that is subjected to the cyclic operational stress, with the health monitoring coupons configured to be individually removable from the health monitoring system by precision machining. A lifecycle monitoring method includes the steps of monitoring one or more operational parameters of the additively manufactured component, calculating a sample trigger, removing a health monitoring coupon by a precision machining process based on the sample trigger, analyzing the health monitoring coupon by an inspection process, determining whether the additively manufactured component is usable and if so, resuming operating the additively manufactured component, otherwise replacing the additively manufactured component.

Abstract: An embodiment of an additive manufacturing apparatus includes a first reservoir adapted to store at least one raw material feedstock proximate to a working surface, a recoater, an energy beam generator, and an ultrasonic wroughting system. The recoater is configured to transfer a portion of the at least one raw material feedstock, on a layer-by-layer basis, from the first reservoir to either the working surface or to an in-process component disposed on the working surface. The energy beam generator is capable of producing and directing at least one energy beam toward the working surface with sufficient energy to melt and consolidate, on a layer-by-layer basis, the transferred portions of the at least one raw material feedstock into corresponding bulk material layers of the in-process component. The ultrasonic wroughting system is capable of producing and directing ultrasonic waves to at least a topmost of the bulk material layers sufficient to compress at least a topmost of the bulk material layers along at least a build axis of the in-process component.
