TY - JOUR A1 - Graf, B. A1 - Gook, S. A1 - Gumenyuk, Andrey A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Combined laser additive manufacturing for complex turbine blades N2 - Laser beam processes are increasingly used in the field of additive manufacturing. Prominent methods are either powderbed-based like Laser Metal Fusion (LMF), or utilizing a powder nozzle like Laser Metal Deposition (LMD). While LMF allows the manufacturing of complex structures, build rate, part volumes and material flexibility are limited. In contrast, LMD is able to operate with high deposition rates on existing parts, and materials can be changed easily during the process. However LMD shape complexity is limited. Utilizing their respective strengths, a combination of these two additive technologies has the potential to produce complex parts with high deposition rates and increased material flexibility. In this paper, combined manufacturing with additive technologies LMF and LMD is described. Its benefit for industry with emphasis on turbomachinery is shown. As reality test for the innovation, an industrial turbine blade is manufactured.

Due to the rapid solidification and heat gradient during production, SLM results in presence of residual stress. The present study shows the influence of manufacturing parameters on surface residual stress of Ti-6Al-4V SLM parts. High tensile stresses in the front surface are found. Heat Treatment conditions relax residual stresses almost to zero. High scanning speed during manufacturing results in higher tensile stresses in the surface.

However, the residual stresses developed during the processing can reduce the load bearing capacity as well as induce unwanted distortion, limiting the application of SLM parts. IN718 manufactured by SLM process can show high tensile residual stresses in the surface as high as the yield strength of the wrought alloy. On the other hand, residual stresses in the bulk Show considerably lower stress values, even in compression, indicating a stress re-distribution during deposition of the SLM layers.

The layerwise slurry deposition (LSD) is an innovative process for the deposition of layers in AM. In the LSD, a slurry with no or small organic content is repetitively spread as thin layers on each other by means of a doctor blade. During the deposition, the ceramic particles settle to form thin layers with a high packing density (55-60%). When coupled with a printing head or with a laser, the LSD enables novel AM technologies inspired to the 3D printing or selective laser sintering, but taking advantage of having a highly dense powder-bed. This approach has been successfully applied to silicate ceramics, but implementing technical ceramic slurries is more challenging, because the water is drained too quickly from the suspension into the pores of the previous porous layer forming a cast. In this presentation, the variables involved in the LSD will be analyzed and the latest improvements in the deposition setup will be described. The application of the LSD to technical ceramics has the potential of generating additive manufacturing parts which in the green state are comparable to those produced by slip casting.

In the LSD, a slurry with no or low organic content is repetitively spread as thin layers on each other by means of a doctor blade. During the deposition, the ceramic particles settle to form thin layers with a high packing density (55-60%). The LSD therefore shares aspects both of tape casting and slip casting. The LSD differentiates from the classical powder-based AM layer deposition, which typically are able to achieve only a low packing density (35-50%), consequently hindering the ability of sintering ceramic parts to full density. The LSD is coupled with the principles of selective laser sintering (SLS) or binder printing, to generate novel processes which take advantage of the possibility of achieving a highly dense powder-bed. This presentation will describe the most recent developments in the application of the LSD to technical ceramics, in particular Al2O3 and SiC, discussing potential and issues connected to the layer deposition and the selective laser sintering of such layers.

T1 - Assessment of additively manufactured lattice structures for gas turbine applications N2 - Additive Manufacturing (AM) allows for the unique combination of building highly complex parts with integrated functional design. One particular design feature is known as lattice structures, which provide opportunities for innovative applications in the high-temperature regime of gas turbines. These structures require the development of reliable manufacturing methods to produce dependable structural integrity and geometrical accuracy. Consequently, the subsequent validation of these thin structures must also be examined in depth and differently than with current approaches. In this study, a holistic assessment of Ni based high temperature lattice structures is pursued, utilizing a systematic design-follows-complexity approach. Single struts of different geometries and orientations are investigated first, then combined to a variety of unit cell types and finally multiplied to complex lattice structures. Initial test trials with these thin structures proved a dependency of geometrical accuracy, microstructure and structural properties to the AM process setup. The trials underlined the need for design guidelines and a distinction between bulk and thin structures, as they showed differences in microstructural and mechanical behaviour. By application of high resolution, non destructive characterization methods such as computer tomography (CT and µCT), evaluation of defects and the thin structures’ metrology has been performed. First results revealed a number of defects compromising the structural integrity and therefore limiting the lifing behaviour. This was confirmed in destructive testing (e.g. tensile and compression). Furthermore, it was proven that the distribution, the number, the size and the type of defects are also dependent on the AM process setup. While there are large potentials for use of lattice structures in gas turbine applications, the experiments indicate the strong need for an increased understanding of manufacturing and design for these complex structures and that this gap needs to be bridged.

Today, the technologies capacity to produce 3D depositions leads to a new field of application as additive manufacturing method. In this paper, 3D laser metal deposition of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is studied with special regard to the demands of additive manufacturing. Therefore, only the powder nozzle is used to create the shielding gas atmosphere, which ensures high geometric flexibility. Furthermore, specimen with high aspect ratio and hundreds of layers are manufactured, which represent typical features in additive manufacturing.

A1 - Graf, B. A1 - Rethmeier, Michael T1 - Statistical analysis of weld bead geometry in Ti6Al4V laser cladding N2 - The process of laser cladding has become more important during recent years because of its broad application for cladding, repair or additive manufacturing. In the field of mechanical engineering, one use is the repair of turbine blades. For high quality and reliability of the repaired components, it is necessary to adjust the weld bead geometry to the specific repair task. The bead geometry influences the metallurgical bonding and the degree of dilution as well as the formation of defects like pores or cracks. Therefore, it is important to know the effects of the different parameters on the welding bead. A valuable tool to meet this industrial challenge is the design of experiments (DoE). In this context, the user can choose between a huge number of test plans. Greater Profit of information is expected by a larger test range. In order to confirm the acceptance, a five-step full factorial test plan is compared to a central composite design in this paper. Moreover, the limits of the experimental range are indicated and restrictions can be derived. As the results show, the essential effects are detected with a full factorial test plan as well as with a central composite design. Merely the effect strength could not always be specified unambiguously. On this account and in consideration of cost efficiency, the use of central compound design is recommended in industrial applications.
