Abstract
The laser-based Directed Energy Deposition (DED-LB) process involves a complex thermal history which strongly de-pends on the geometry of the deposited structure and substrate. The thermal mechanisms of the process are highly influenced by key process parameters like laser power, powder mass flow and scanning speed. Additionally, the size of the substrate influences the cooling behavior. The cooling behavior can be externally influenced and controlled by tempering the substrate, for example using a laser preheating method. The control of the cooling rate is crucial to ensure consistent properties and maintain constant conditions for subsequent finishing processes, irrespective of the size and geometry of the deposited structure and substrate. In this work, the influence of the substrate size on the cooling behavior and the properties of DED-LB manufactured structures is determined. The deposition of a cube with an edge length of 30 mm on different sized substrates and different cooling rates was simulated and executed. The impact of the different cooling behavior is evident in the hardness and the residual stresses of the deposited structures. Furthermore, the effect can be observed during a subsequent milling process. This work enables the creation of a model for the determination of the cooling rate and part properties depending on the substrate size.
期刊介绍:
ournal of Machine Engineering is a scientific journal devoted to current issues of design and manufacturing - aided by innovative computer techniques and state-of-the-art computer systems - of products which meet the demands of the current global market. It favours solutions harmonizing with the up-to-date manufacturing strategies, the quality requirements and the needs of design, planning, scheduling and production process management. The Journal'' s subject matter also covers the design and operation of high efficient, precision, process machines. The Journal is a continuator of Machine Engineering Publisher for five years. The Journal appears quarterly, with a circulation of 100 copies, with each issue devoted entirely to a different topic. The papers are carefully selected and reviewed by distinguished world famous scientists and practitioners. The authors of the publications are eminent specialists from all over the world and Poland. Journal of Machine Engineering provides the best assistance to factories and universities. It enables factories to solve their difficult problems and manufacture good products at a low cost and fast rate. It enables educators to update their teaching and scientists to deepen their knowledge and pursue their research in the right direction.
