Summary

Researchers investigated sources of uncertainty in in-situ micromechanical testing of additive layer manufacturing (ALM) materials within a scanning electron microscopy framework, identifying displacement and load measurement errors and sample misalignment as primary uncertainty contributors. The study proposed mitigation strategies to improve the reliability of micromechanical test data for ALM materials, supporting more accurate mechanical characterization of additively manufactured components.

The report investigates uncertainties in in-situ micromechanical testing of additive layer manufacturing (ALM) materials within a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) framework. It identifies displacement and load measurements, and sample alignment as the primary uncertainty sources. By addressing these uncertainties, offering mitigation strategies, and advancing material design and manufacturing processes, the study aims to enhance mechanical property evaluations' accuracy and reliability in ALM materials
