abstract
This paper presents novel surface profilometry for both geometric part error and metallurgical material property distribution measurements of the additively manufactured and post-processed rods. The measurement system, the so-called fiber optic-eddy current sensor, consists of a fiber optic displacement sensor and an eddy current sensor. The electromagnetic coil was wrapped around the probe of the fiber optic displacement sensor. The fiber optic displacement sensor was used to measure the surface profile, and the eddy current sensor was used to measure the change in permeability of the rod under varying electromagnetic excitation conditions. The permeability of the material changes upon exposure to mechanical forces, such as compression or extension and high temperatures. The geometric part error and material property profiles of the rods were successfully extracted by using a reversal method that is conventionally used for spindle error separation. The fiber optic displacement sensor and the eddy current sensor developed in this study have a resolution of 0.286 m and 0.00359r, respectively. The proposed method was applied not only to characterize the rods but also to characterize composite rods.
