This repository contains scripts and supporting information for a set of demonstrations related to the 2022 AM-Bench challenge series.In particular, the data used in this demonstration comes from the 2018 AM-Bench challenge documented at https://www.nist.gov/ambench/amb2018-02-description.The script queries the AM-Bench 2018 repository located at https://ambench.nist.gov/, then processes the returned XML-based results, does some image processing, and generates plots of melt pool dep

Abstract (from the manuscript): High cycle fatigue life of laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF) parts depends on several factors; as-built surfaces, when present, are a particular concern. This work measures as-built L-PBF surfaces with X-ray computed tomography, and uses rotating beam fatigue (RBF) testing to measure high cycle fatigue life. Surfaces with different, but consistent, characteristics are achieved by build in vertical specimens and changing only the number of contour passes.

The development of large residual elastic strains and stresses during laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) additive manufacturing is one of the most significant barriers to widespread adoption. Accurate modeling of these strains and stresses is broadly recognized as an effective tool for mitigating these challenges, but rigorous validation data are needed. This data publication includes measurement data from diffraction-based characterizations of residual elastic strains in as-built (not heat treated) artifacts manufactured as part the the 2018 Additive Manufacturing Benchmark Series (AM Bench).

This data repository provides a central location for a body of work using one build of nickel-based alloy 718 (IN718) material and resulted in three different studies. The IN718 parts were manufactured by laser powder bed fusion using a range of laser energy densities (manipulation of processing variables) and orientations with respect to the build direction. The influence of processing variables on resulting grain structures, pore structures, and mechanical properties were studied in the as-built (not heat treated) condition.

Monthly and annual Canadian arrivals of one or more nights to the U.S. are provided by Statistics Canada for analysis and reporting. A limited amount of U.S. resident travel to Canada is also reported at a monthly level. Monthly level data are reported by mode of transportation with a 3-4 month lag time. Annual data are made available to Tourism Industries at the end of May and a written report with graphics and spreadsheets is generally available in the late summer. The annual report analyzes travelers by province of origin, season of travel, mode of transportation, etc.

An econometric-based forecast of tourism arrivals to the U.S. from more than 20 primary and secondary international markets. Provides forecasted arrivals for a 3 year horizon. Outbound international travel is forecast or reported for Mexico, Canada and overseas travel only.

Monthly international visitation data are collected and reported by the National Travel and Tourism Office's (NTTO) Visitor Arrivals Program (I-94 Record).

This program provides information on U.S. travel and tourism receipts (exports), payments (imports), and the balance of trade for major world regions and select countries. The National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) obtains these data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and publishes preliminary data in March, revised data in June, and final annual data in October.

The National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) works cooperatively with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)to release arrivals data, providing a comprehensive count of all travelers entering the United States.
