The measure of temperature fields during additive manufacturing processes usually requires bulky expansive equipement such as infrared cameras. A compact full field thermal sensor was developped in order to accurately measure the temperature and the morpholgy of the melt pool during these processes. It is based on a dual-wavelength radiometrioc model and designed to measure temperatures ranging from 1000K to 2500K. The system is calibrated on a blackbody and a tungsten ribbon lamp. This method is validated with two distinct experiments: -Induction heating of a 316L stainless steel tube in a controlled environnement. The temperature is measured with type K thermocouples and compared to the one measured with the camera. In a first experiment, the tube is placed in an open environnement (with oxygen). In a second experiment, the tube is place in an environnement filled with argon that delays its oxidation. -Fusion of a vanadium rod (with a purity of 99.8%) with a laser impulsion of 350 W for 2 seconds. The fusion temperature of pure vanadium is 2183K, and the camera was used to assess the position of the solidifcation front during the experiment.

The camera is then used on two different additive manufacturing processes to identify thermal gradients and highlight the melt pool contours. -Laser metal deposition with powder (LMDP). It consists in melting a small section of a substrate with a highly focused energy source, and continuously delivering feedstock material in this melt pool in the form of powder, layer by layer. The camera captures uspide views of the melt pool. -Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM). It is based on Gas Metal Arc Welding processes and consists of melting a metal wire onto the substrate with an electric arc as the heat source. The camera captures side views of the melt pool.
