This article elucidates the need to consider the inherent spatial transfer function (blur), of any thermographic instrument used to measure thermal fields. Infrared thermographic data were acquired from a modified, commercial, laser-based powder bed fusion printer. A validated methodology was used to correct for spatial transfer function errors in the measured thermal fields. The methodology was found to make a difference of 40% to the measured signal levels and a 174 °C difference to the calculated effective temperature. The spatial gradients in the processed thermal fields were found to increase significantly. These corrections make a significant difference to the accuracy of validation data for process and microstructure modeling. We demonstrate the need for consideration of image blur when quantifying the thermal fields in laser-based powder bed fusion in this work.

Estimation of the heat flow at the metal-mold interface is necessary for accurate simulation of the solidification processes. For the numerical simulation, a precise prediction of boundary conditions is required to determine the temperature distribution during solidification, porosity nucleation, microstructure development, and residual stresses. Determination of the heat transfer coefficients at the metal-mold interface is a critical aspect for simulation of the solidification process and the microstructure modeling of the castings. For crystallization under the pressure and for thin-walled castings, HTC evaluation is important due to the very limited freezing time.
