TY - JOUR A1 - Biegler, M. A1 - Graf, B. A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Assessing the predictive capability of numerical additive manufacturing simulations via in-situ distortion measurements on a LMD component during build-up N2 - Due to rapid, localized heating and cooling, distortions accumulate in additive manufactured laser metal deposition (LMD) components, leading to a loss of dimensional accuracy or even cracking. Numerical welding simulations allow the prediction of these deviations and their optimization before conducting experiments. To assess the viability of the simulation tool for the use in a predictive manner, comprehensive systems as well as to choose the optimal product matches, product analysis methods are needed. Indeed, most of the known methods aim to analyze a product or one product family on the physical level. Different product families, however, may differ largely in terms of the number and nature of components. This fact impedes an efficient comparison and choice of appropriate product family combinations for the production system. A new methodology is proposed to analyze existing products in view of their functional and physical architecture. The aim is to Cluster these products in new assembly oriented product families for the optimization.

A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Distortion-based validation of the heat treatment simulation of Directed Energy Deposition additive manufactured parts N2 - Directed energy deposition additive manufactured parts have steep stress gradients and an anisotropic microstructure caused by the rapid thermo-cycles and the layer-upon-layer manufacturing, hence heat treatment can be used to reduce the residual stresses and to restore the microstructure. The numerical simulation is a suitable tool to determine the parameters of the heat treatment process and to reduce the necessary application efforts. The heat treatment simulation calculates the distortion and residual stresses during the process. Validation experiments are necessary to verify the simulation results. This paper presents a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical model of the heat treatment of additive components. A distortion-based validation is conducted to verify the simulation results, using a C-ring shaped specimen geometry. Therefore, the C-ring samples were 3D scanned using a structured light 3D scanner to compare the distortion of the samples with different post-processing histories.

Directed Energy Deposition (DED) in particular offers the opportunity to produce large-volume maritime components like propeller hubs or blades without the need of a costly casting process. The post processing of such components usually generates a large amount of aluminum bronze grinding waste. The aim of the presented project is to develop a sustainable circular AM process chain for maritime components by recycling aluminum bronze grinding waste to be used as raw material to manufacture ship Propellers with a laser-powder DED process. In the present paper, grinding waste is investigated using a dynamic image Analysis system and compared to commercial DED powder. To be able to compare the material quality and to verify DED process parameters, semi-academic sample geometries are manufactured.

Der Sprung in den Materialeigenschaften kann jedoch zu Rissen und somit zum Versagen der Beschichtung führen. Um die Lebensdauer von Beschichtungen zu erhöhen wird daher ein gradierter Übergang mit verschiedenen Materialpaarungen untersucht. T2 - 13.

In diesem Zusammenhang sind Verfahren der Directed Energy Deposition (DED) besonders gefragt, um hohe Aufbauraten zu erreichen. Neben den bekannten laserstrahlbasierten Verfahren hat auch der Elektronenstrahl die industrielle Marktreife erreicht. Das Wire Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing bietet zum Beispiel Vorteile bei der Verarbeitung von Kupferwerkstoffen. In der Literatur wird die höhere Energieeffizienz und die daraus resultierende Verbesserung der CO2-Bilanz des Elektronenstrahls hervorgehoben. Es fehlt jedoch an praktischen Studien mit Messdaten, um das Potenzial der Technologie zu quantifizieren. In dieser Arbeit wird eine vergleichende Ökobilanz zwischen der additiven Fertigung mit Draht und Elektronenstrahl (DED-EB) und der additiven Fertigung mit Laserstrahl und Pulver (DED-LB) durchgeführt. Dazu werden die Ressourcen für die Herstellung ermittelt, ein Testbauteil mit beiden Verfahren hergestellt und der gesamte Energieverbrauch gemessen. Die Umweltauswirkungen werden dann mit den Faktoren Treibhauspotenzial (GWP100), Ozonbildungspotenzial (POCP), Versauerungspotenzial (AP), Eutrophierungspotenzial (EP) abgeschätzt. Es zeigt sich, dass das Wire Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing durch einen deutlich geringeren Energiebedarf gekennzeichnet ist. Darüber hinaus gewährleistet die Verwendung von Draht eine größere Ressourceneffizienz, was zu insgesamt besseren Ökobilanzergebnissen führt.

This study introduces a sustainable alternative by recycling stainless steel milling chips as feedstock for laser-powder directed energy deposition. The recycling process employs a three-stage mechanical comminution method utilizing a fine impact mill UPZ100 from Hosokawa Alpine AG. Characterization of the resulting powders is conducted through particle morphology analysis, flowability tests, and mechanical property assessments. The chip-derived powders exhibit comparable aspect ratios and sphericity to conventional water atomized powders, though with reduced flowability due to a pronounced fine fraction content. Elevated levels of oxides are observed, leading to the formation of an oxide layer on specimen blocks, without impairing the mechanical properties. Analyses of porosity, microstructure, and hardness indicate no significant differences when compared to conventional powders from water or gas atomization. This recycling approach not only mitigates waste but also enhances the potential for a circular and sustainable manufacturing process in the additive manufacturing industry and beyond.

A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Automated tool-path generation for rapid manufacturing and numerical simulation of additive manufacturing LMD geometries N2 - In additive manufacturing (AM) Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), parts are built by welding layers of powder feedstock onto a substrate. Applications for steel powders include forging tools and structural components for various industries. For large parts, the choice of tool-paths influences the build-rate, the part performance and the distortions in a highly geometry-dependent manner. With weld-path lengths in the range of hundreds of meters, a reliable, automated tool path generation is essential for the usability of LMD processes. In this contribution, automated tool-path generation approaches are shown and their results are discussed for arbitrary geometries. The investigated path strategies are the classical approaches: “Zig-zag-” and “contour-parallel-strategies”. After generation, the tool-paths are automatically formatted into g-code for experimental build-up and ASCII for a numerical simulation model. Finally, the tool paths are discussed in regards to volume-fill, microstructure and porosity for the experimental samples.
