Abstract

A health monitoring system (30) for monitoring a lifecycle of an additively manufactured component having a microcrystalline structure that can be subjected to a cyclic operational stress is disclosed. The health monitoring system (30) includes a plurality of additively manufactured health monitoring coupons (34;34') disposed on the component in a representative position that is subjected to the cyclic operational stress, with the health monitoring coupons (34;34') configured to be individually removable from the health monitoring system (30) by precision machining. A lifecycle monitoring method includes the steps of monitoring one or more operational parameters of the additively manufactured component, calculating a sample trigger, removing a health monitoring coupon (34;34') by a precision machining process based on the sample trigger, analyzing the health monitoring coupon (34;34') by an inspection process, determining whether the additively manufactured component is usable and if so, resuming operating the additively manufactured component, otherwise replacing the additively manufactured component.
