• Abstract: Variation in the local thermal history during the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process in additive manufacturing (AM) can cause microporosity defects. in-situ sensing has been proposed to monitor the AM process to minimize defects, but the success requires establishing a quantitative relationship between the sensing data and the porosity, which is especially challenging for a large number of variables and computationally costly. In this work, we develop machine learning (ML) models that can use in-situ thermographic data to predict the microporosity of LPBF stainless steel materials. This work considers two identified key features from the thermal histories: the time above the apparent melting threshold (/tau) and the maximum radiance (T_{max}). These features are computed, stored for each voxel in the built material, are used as inputs. The binary state of each voxel, either defective or normal, is the output. Different ML models are trained and tested for the binary classification task. In addition to using the thermal features of each voxel to predict its own state, the thermal features of neighboring voxels are also included as inputs. This is shown to improve the prediction accuracy, which is consistent with thermal transport physics around each voxel contributing to its final state. Among the models trained, the F1 scores on test sets reach above 0.96 for random forests. Feature importance analysis based on the ML models shows that T_{max}is more important to the voxel state than /tau. The analysis also finds that the thermal history of the voxels above the present voxel is more influential than those beneath it.

  It is necessary to consider the behavior of the signals in each sensor separately, to take into account their correlation and hidden relationships with each other. The graph nodes can be represented as data from the different sensors, and the edges can display the influence of these data on each other. It was proposed to construct a graph during the training of graph neural network. This allows to train models on data where the dependencies between the sensors are not known in advance.
