Targeted rework strategies for powder bed additive manufacture (2017)
Journal Article
Hirsch, M., Dryburgh, P., Catchpole-Smith, S., Patel, R., Parry, L., Sharples, S., …Clare, A. (2018). Targeted rework strategies for powder bed additive manufacture. Additive Manufacturing, 19, 127-133. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2017.11.011

A major factor limiting the adoption of powder-bed-fusion additive manufacturing for production of parts is the control of build process defects and the effect these have upon the certification of parts for structural applications. In response to thi... Read More about Targeted rework strategies for powder bed additive manufacture.

Experimental setup of continuous ultrasonic monitoring for corrosion assessment (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Suchato, N., Kalashnikov, A., Light, R., & Sharples, S. (in press). Experimental setup of continuous ultrasonic monitoring for corrosion assessment.

The paper is devoted to the ultrasonic monitoring of accelerated corrosion. In order to achieve non-uniform corrosion (high surface roughness), passivation was applied to the corroding surface. A dedicated electronic multiplexed four channel front en... Read More about Experimental setup of continuous ultrasonic monitoring for corrosion assessment.

Meso-scale defect evaluation of selective laser melting using spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (2017)
Journal Article
Hirsch, M., Catchpole-Smith, S., Patel, R., Marrow, P., Li, W., Tuck, C., …Clare, A. T. (2017). Meso-scale defect evaluation of selective laser melting using spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 473(2205), https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2017.0194

Developments in additive manufacturing technology are serving to expand the potential applications. Critical developments are required in the supporting areas of measurement and in process inspection to achieve this. CM247LC is a nickel superalloy th...

Comparison of grain to grain orientation and stiffness mapping by spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy and EBSD (2017)
Journal Article
Mark, A., Li, W., Sharples, S., & Withers, P. (in press). Comparison of grain to grain orientation and stiffness mapping by spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy and EBSD. Journal of Microscopy, https://doi.org/10.1111/jmi.12550

Our aim was to establish the capability of spatially resolved acoustic spectroscopy (SRAS) to map grain orientations and the anisotropy in stiffness at the sub-mm to micron scale by comparing the method with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) un...
