    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for predicting material properties in an Additive Manufacturing (AM) process is provided. The method comprises: receiving sensor data during the build of a metallic component using the AM process wherein the sensor data includes time-series temperature data of a surface of the metallic component recorded by a photodiode and time-series temperature data of a surface of the metallic component recorded by a pyrometer; receiving ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) model output data for building the component wherein the ICME model output data includes predicted melt pool dimensions time-series data, predicted melt temperature time-series data, and predicted defects forming as a result of melt pool evolution and movement; and estimating using the received sensor data and the received ICME model output data one or more material properties associated with the metallic component using a material property prediction module configured to predict one or more of the material properties.

    Abstract: A method of purifying and casting a material comprising placing a material to be purified within a crucible, the crucible located within a purification chamber; providing thermal energy to the material to maintain the material in a molten state; providing a purification gas into the molten material to purify the material until a first measured condition is attained; passing the material in a fluid state from the purification chamber having a first atmosphere to a casting chamber having a second atmosphere, the purification chamber in fluid communication with the casting chamber such that the material passes from the purification chamber to the casting chamber without exposure to a third atmosphere; placing the material into a mold within the casting chamber; cooling the material within the mold to form a cast material.

    Abstract: Prior to manufacturing a product by additive manufacturing, a stress relief profile including frequency and amplitude parameters of an ultrasonic input is determined based on physical properties of the product, including resonant frequencies of the product and a material from which the product is manufactured. Successive layers of a material are added and energy is applied to incorporate the material of each layer into the product. A processor accesses stress relief profile parameters for each layer, determines whether a layer requires stress relief and determines a frequency and a power level for the stress relief at the layer. An ultrasonic input is applied with the determined parameters to relieve stress as the product is built up.
