MRL MATERIALS RESOURCES LLC STTR Phase I Award, June 2018

Qualification of additively manufactured parts is hampered by the inherent uncetainty in properties due to heterogeneity in processing, microstructure, and defects. The proposed effort combines high-throughput testing of static and dynamic properties using tailored sample geometry, fixture design, and load application method with microstructure quantification and analysis. This system will drastically reduce the cost of AM testing and qualification and support efforts towards uncertainty quantification and data-driven property prediction
