Abstract
Three-dimensional characterization can provide valuable information into material systems and microstructures often unattainable using traditional two-dimensional approaches. Mechanical serial-sectioning, using the Robo-Met.3D®, is a useful technique for three-dimensional studies. Here, three-dimensional investigations of additively manufactured 316L stainless steel, porous Ta thermal spray coatings, fiber-reinforced composites and multi-material components completed at Sandia National Laboratories are presented. The utility of mechanical serial-sectioning for evaluating complex microstructures, internal porosity and cracks is discussed and ways to leverage three-dimensional analyses for scientific investigation and for developing engineering solutions is highlighted. The benefits of a mechanical serial-sectioning approach compared to micro-computed tomography is also demonstrated for an additively manufactured microstructure. Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-mission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-NA0003525.
Presenter
About Dr. Ivanoff: Thomas Ivanoff currently works as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Sandia National Laboratories. He earned his doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin. Thomas conducts research into materials science including, microstructural analysis and mechanical performance, and provides engineering support for multiple systems/components. He also operates a mechanical serial sectioning system for three-dimensional evaluation of materials. Current projects include: characterizing additively manufactured microstructures and multi-material systems, developing three-dimensional characterization techniques, and investigating process-structure-performance relationships in novel materials.
