Utility
Additively Manufacured Parts and Related Methods
30 Oct 19
In some embodiments, an exemplary method directed toward non-destructive methods of inspecting additively manufactured parts includes: additively manufacturing a metal part, the metal part configured with an additive manufacturing grain structure indicative of the type of additive process utilized to construct the metal part, wherein the grain structure is configured with a first ultrasonic signal attenuation level when assessed via ultrasonic inspection; imparting an amount of strain on the metal part to transform the additive manufacturing grain structure having a first ultrasonic signal attenuation level to a grain structure having second ultrasonic signal attenuation level, wherein the second ultrasonic signal attenuation level is lower than the first ultrasonic signal attenuation level; and inspecting the metal part via a non-destructive testing evaluation method to confirm whether the metal part passes a part build specification.

Utility
Fasteners with conforming sleeves
21 Oct 19
A sleeve interference fastener including a conformable sleeve, wherein the conformable sleeve is comprised of at least one first material having a hardness of X, and a pin member, wherein the pin member is comprised of at least one second material having a hardness of Y, wherein X is sufficiently less than Y so that, in an installed position of an interference fit, at least a portion of the at least one first material of the conformable sleeve conforms to a contour of an inner surface of a hole of a composite structure so as to create a continuous electrical contact at an interface between the inner surface of the hole of the composite structure and the conformable sleeve.
