This course covers the comprehensive understanding of metal additive manufacturing processes. It provides an in-depth look at the integration of industry 4.0 and IoT in these processes, and the role of on-machine sensing in monitoring and controlling the manufacturing process. For instance, the course explains how the temperature of a metal additive manufacturing process can be determined by measuring the spectral radiance, which can indirectly help in determining the residual stresses. The course also delves into the working of various sensing devices like pyrometers, infrared pyrometers, and the use of photodiodes in measuring radiation intensity. It further discusses the intricacies of In-situ Control Systems in additive metal manufacturing, including process control, control objectives, quality control in the additive manufacturing chain, feedback control, and the challenges and opportunities in process control.
