Build-up strategies for generating components of cylindrical shape with laser metal deposition
(2015)
Laser Metal Deposition LMD) as additive manufacturing process offers the potential to produce near net shape components. This reduces the amount of material and post-processing. The components are composed of individual layers. Already mall irregularities within a layer can add up over multiple layers and lead to error propagation. This paper deals with the issue of build-up strategies to minimize irregularities and prevent error propagation. Different travel paths and the influence of a changing starting point regarding to error propagation are discussed. Different deposition rates between core and peripheral area are detected and successfully compensated by adjusting the build-up sequence. Stainless steel and titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V are used in the experiments. The results are intended to illustrate the potential of an adjusted build-up strategy and provide basic information on the way to an automated deposition process. This paper is of interest for engineers in industry or science using LMD as additive manufacturing process.
The industrial demand for flexible and innovative manufacturing technologies is continuously increasing. These technologies have to be sustainable and resource-efficient, and have to allow the production of long-life capital goods. Consequently, the additive processes gain in importance as they offer an enormous potential of application, especially for the turbomachinery industry.
In order to use additive manufacturing technologies in industrial applications, it is necessary to consider the complete process chain, including all necessary pre- and postprocessing. Although additive manufacturing is increasingly covered in scientific research, the linking between this technology and conventional industrial processes is rarely described.
Das Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen als additives Fertigungsverfahren ermöglicht einen endformnahen Aufbau von Bauteilen. Ein Zielkonflikt besteht zwischen der Forderung nach hoher Aufbaurate und hoher Endformnähe, welcher von der Schweißraupengröße wesentlich beeinflusst wird. In dieser Veröffentlichung wird das Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen eingesetzt, um komplexe Formen additiv aufzubauen. Am Beispiel eines Tannenbaumprofiles werden unterschiedliche Einflussfaktoren dargestellt. Dazu gehören die Raupengeometrie, die Überlappung einzelner Raupen, die Verwendung unterschiedlicher Aufbaustrategien und die Teilung des Gesamtkörpers in Teilkörper. Der Zielkonflikt wird durch die Herstellung von Probekörpern mit unterschiedlichen Steigungswinkeln an den Seitenflächen verdeutlicht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine verbesserte Endformnähe in Bereichen flacher Steigung beim Einsatz kleiner Schweißraupen. Im Vergleich dazu erlauben die Schweißparameter der großen Raupen eine 5-fach höhere Aufbaurate. Bei einer Raupenüberlappung kleiner und großer Raupengeometrien innerhalb einer Lage treten Anbindungsfehler auf. Strategien zur Behebung dieses Fehlers durch Anpassung der Schweißreihenfolge werden in dieser Veröffentlichung aufgezeigt. Diese Erfahrungen werden genutzt, um einen Gesamtkörper aus Teilkörpern unterschiedlicher Raupengeometrien zu fertigen.
Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) is acquiring increasing commercial and socio-economic significance. For products and goods with high investment costs and a long lifespan, especially in the sectors of energy and transportation, a considerable portion of commercial profits are generated by after-sales services. In the field of research and development, not enough attention has been paid so far to tasks and approaches involving MRO. The field thus has a limited scientific background, despite a high potential in the business sector for technological and scientific optimization. The challenges and chances of MRO for sustainable enterprises will be explained with reference to the Fraunhofer Innovation Cluster Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul in Energy and Transport. The developments and project results of the four fields of innovation »Cleaning«, »Repair and Overhaul«, »Condition Monitoring and Diagnosis«, as well as »MRO Planning and Digital Assistance« will be explained.
