X-Ray Computed Tomography Evaluation of Electron Beam Additively Manufactured Titanium Components

Abstract

Two electron beam additively manufactured (EBAM) titanium specimens provided by the US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center at the Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, Detroit Arsenal, were inspected and evaluated using X-ray computed tomography (XCT). XCT scanning parameters and overall protocols used to achieve acceptable scan image results are discussed. XCT image results, including 2-D internal slices at select locations and 3-D sectioned visualizations, are also shown and discussed. The physical nature of the types of features found in these specimens are also described and discussed.
