Recycling nickel aluminium bronze grinding chips to feedstock for directed energy deposition via impact whirl milling: Investigation on processability, microstructure and mechanical properties
- During the production of ship propellers, considerable quantities of grinding chips from nickel aluminium bronze areproduced. This paper examines the mechanical comminution of such chips via impact whirl milling and the utilization of twochip-powder batches as feedstock for a laser-based directed energy deposition process. The materials are characterized viadigital image analysis, standardized flowability tests, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopyand are compared to conventional, gas atomized powder. The specimens deposited via directed energy deposition areanalyzed for density, hardness and microstructure and tensile properties for vertical and horizontal build up directions arecompared. At elevated mill rotation speeds, the comminution with impact whirl milling produced rounded particles, favorableflow properties and particle size distribution, making them suitable to deposit additive specimens.

At elevated mill rotation speeds, the comminution with impact whirl milling produced rounded particles, favorableflow properties and particle size distribution, making them suitable to deposit additive specimens. The microstructureexhibited characteristic martensitic phases due to the high cooling rates of the additive manufacturing process. The presenceof ceramic inclusions was observed in both the powder and on the tensile fracture surfaces, partly impairing the mechanicalproperties. However, specimens in the vertical build-up direction (Z) showed competitive tensile results, with 775 MPa intensile strength, 455 MPa in yield strength and 12.6 % elongation at break. The findings of this study indicate that recyclingof machining chips to additive manufacturing feedstock can be a viable option for reducing material costs and environmentalimpact.…
