Enhanced image contrast in laboratory X-ray computed tomography for additive manufacturing by optimizing voltage based on transmission
Laboratory X-ray computed tomography (XCT) becomes widely used in the field of additive manufacturing (AM) for defects inspection. However, the voltage of X-ray source, which determines the X-ray transmission through a certain sample, used in XCT experiments is significantly discrepant. The effects on the quality of resulting images have not been studied and discussed in AM field. In this work, the theoretical transmissions of monochromatic and polychromatic X-rays for various SLM-prepared samples were calculated and successfully validated by both synchrotron and laboratory XCT experimentally. The laboratory XCT images obtained with various voltages were evaluated in detail, and the optimal contrast was achieved when the transmission difference between the materials with and without pores was maximum. Thus, this study proposed a transmission-based method to improve image contrast by optimizing the voltage setting in laboratory XCT.
期刊介绍:
NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
