Unterschiedliche Werkstoffeigenschaften reagieren auf jeweils spezifische Weise auf Gittertyp, Gefüge und Defekte. Für die schadenstolerante Betrachtung von Werkstoff und Bauteil ist das Verständnis dieser Zusammenhänge essentiell. Der Beitrag gibt mit Hinblick auf additiv gefertigte metallische Bauteile(Selective Laser Melting) einen kurzen, keineswegs vollständigen Überblick über Faktoren, die die Steifigkeit, Festigkeit, Duktilität, Zähigkeit, Ermüdungsrissausbreitung und Schwingfestigkeit beeinflussen. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie die bruchmechanische Betrachtung zur Quantifizierung der Zusammenhänge beitragen kann
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) is one of the most promising additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for the production of complex metallic real part components. Due to the multitude of factors influencing process conditions and part quality and due to the layer-wise characteristic of the process, monitoring of process signatures seems to be mandatory in case of the production of safety critical components. Here, the iterative process nature enables unique access for in-situ monitoring during part manufacture. In this talk, the successful test of the synchronous use of a high-frequency infrared camera and a camera for long time exposure, working in the visible spectrum (VIS) and equipped with a near infrared filter (NIR), will be introduced as a machine manufacturer independent thermal detection monitoring set-up. Thereby, the synchronous use of an infrared camera and a VIS NIR camera combines the advantages of high framerate and high spatial resolution. The manufacture of a 316L stainless steel specimen, containing purposely seeded defects and volumes with forced changes of energy inputs, was monitored during the build. The measured thermal responses are analysed and compared with a defect mapping obtained by micro X-ray computed tomography (CT).
The first results regarding methods for data analysis, derived correlations between measured signals and detected defects as well as sources of possible data misinterpretation are presented in this talk.
Das pulverbettbasierte selektive Laserstrahlschmelzen (engl. laser powder bed fusion, L-PBF) ist die am weitesten verbreitete additive Fertigungstechnologie für die Herstellung metallischer Komponenten. Unter der Vielzahl an Einflussfaktoren auf die Qualität und die mechanischen Eigenschaften von L PBF-Bauteilen hat die Zwischenlagenzeit (engl. inter layer time, ILT) bisher kaum Beachtung in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur gefunden, obwohl sie je nach Bauraumausnutzungsgrad stark variieren kann. In diesem Vortrag werden Ergebnisse einer Studie präsentiert, die den Einfluss der ILT in Kombination mit der Bauteilhöhe und unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Volumenenergiedichten am Beispiel der austenitischen Stahllegierung AISI 316L untersucht. Die Fertigungsprozesse wurden in situ mittels Thermographiekamera überwacht, sodass Informationen über das Abkühlverhalten der Bauteile während des Prozesses gewonnen werden konnten. Es wurden signifikante Effekte der ILT und der Bauteilhöhe auf Wärmeakkumulation, Mikrostruktur, Schmelzbadgeometrie und Härte festgestellt. Ferner konnte ein Anstieg von Defektdichten bei einem gegenseitigen Wechselspiel aus Bauteilhöhe und ILT aufgezeigt werden. Die Zwischenlagenzeit wurde somit als kritischer Faktor für die L-PBF-Fertigung von Realbauteilen identifiziert.
One of the main advantages of additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) is the possibility to manufacture complex near-net-shape components. Therefore, the PBF-LB/M process is becoming increasingly important for the manufacturing and repair of gas turbine blades. Despite the great freedom in design, there are also limitations to the process. Manufacturing overhangs or bridging voids are some of the main challenges. In the conventional PBF-LB/M process, overhangs with angles up to 45° can be manufactured. However, gas turbine blades feature voids for cooling, which have to be bridged when using PBF-LB/M. In this work, different concepts for bridging voids are developed for future application in gas turbine blade repair. For this purpose, a test geometry is derived from the tip area of a gas turbine blade as a reference. By changing the initial geometry of the reference body, different designs for bridging voids are developed based on the PBF-LB/M requirements. Subsequently, these distinct designs are manufactured by PBF-LB/M. The different approaches are compared with respect to their volume increase. In addition, the specimens are visually inspected for warpage, shrinkage and imperfections by overheating. Out of the seven concepts developed, three concepts can be recommended for gas turbine blade repair based on low volume increase, distortion and shrinkage.
Laser welding is an appropriate technique for joining Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) parts together and to conventional wrought ones. The potential consists of profiting from synergies between additive and conventional manufacturing methods and overcoming the existing limitations of both. On the one hand, L-PBF is a widely spread metal-based additive manufacturing technique suitable for generating complex parts which can present intrinsic designed cavities, conformal cooling channels, and filigree structures contributing to sustainable manufacturing and efficiency-oriented designs. On the other hand, chamber sizes for producing L-PBF parts are limited, and the process is time-consuming. Thus, its employment is not for every geometry justified. Additionally, they are in most cases individual elements of a larger assembly and need to be joined together to conventionally fabricated parts.
The present research suggests laser welding parameters to adequately bond pairs of wrought and L-PBF processed plates and two L-PBF plates of Inconel 718 in butt position. L-PBF samples are printed in three different build-up orientations. Additionally, the influence of as-built L-PBF roughness qualities and usual pre-weld preparations such as edge milling are examined. The effect of normed pre-weld heat treatments is also contemplated. Identified cracks are analyzed by means of EDS in order to confirm the present phases on the areas of interest. EBSD is also employed to obtain a clear depiction of the crystallographic texture and distribution of the hot cracks.
The quality of the weldment was examined according to existing standards. Substantial differences in seam geometry and microstructure across different edge’s surface qualities and build directions of stress relieved L-PBF parts have not been detected. Nevertheless, even if no other irregularities are present in the seam, variability in liquation cracking susceptibility has been confirmed. This defect is prone to happen when parts made of this nickel-based superalloy are welded together when not enough precautions are taken. It has been determined that grain size and ductility of the material before welding play a crucial role and mitigating or intensifying these imperfections. Moreover, recommendations are presented to avoid this potential welding defect.
