Analysis on quality grading and inspection strat-egies for fabrication of aviation metal components using additive manufacturing
It is important to define the quality grading and inspection strategies in the standards of metal components using additive manufacturing,which determines the use grade and occasion of metal components. At present,the general practice of quality inspection of additive manufacturing standards in China’s current aviation industry is using the testing standards of the same material’s forgings to stipulate the quality level of additive manufactured components,which generally requires Grade A or Grade B. However,the current standards for metal components using additive manufacturing don’t explicitly stipulate the quality levels,and basically depend on one of quality grade of ultrasonic testing and lack corresponding grading requirements for X-ray inspection. Therefore,the current additive manufacturing standards of aviation industry need to be further improved. By comparing current standards for fabrication of metal components using additive manufacturing related with National Standards(GB),aviation industry standards(HB),national military standards(GJB), international standards(ISO),American Society for Testing Materials standards(ASTM),International Association of Automation Engineers standards(AMS)and the American Welding Society standards(AWS),the current quality classification and inspection strategies of metal components using additive manufacturing domestic and foreign was analyzed. Different quality classification and inspection strategies were reviewed briefly. The similar connotation of quality classification and inspection in AWS D20.1/D20.1 M:2019《Specification for Fabrication of Metal Components using Additive Manufacturing》and AWS D17.1/D17.1 M:2017-AMD1《Specification for Fusion Welding for Aerospace Applications》was expounded. Some suggestions on the quality classification and inspection strategies of metal components using additive manufacturing for China’s aviation industry were discussed and put forward.
