Abstract

The quality of powder spread in additive manufacturing devices depends sensitively on particle shapes. Here, we study powder spreading for mixtures of spherical and irregularly shaped particles in Polyamide 12 powders. Using DEM simulations, including heat transfer, we find that spherical particles exhibit better flowability. Thus, the particles are deposited far ahead of the spreading blade. In contrast, a large fraction of non-spherical particles hinders the flow. Therefore, the cold particles are deposited near the front of the spreading blade. This results in a temperature drop of the deposited particles near the substrate, which cannot be seen with spherical particles. The particles of both shapes are homogeneously distributed in the deposited powder layer.

增材制造中 PA12 粉末二元混合物的形状效应

增材制造设备中的粉末铺展质量对颗粒形状非常敏感。在此，我们研究了聚酰胺 12 粉末中球形和不规则形状颗粒混合物的粉末铺展情况。通过 DEM 模拟（包括热传导），我们发现球形颗粒具有更好的流动性。因此，颗粒沉积在铺展叶片的前方。相反，大量非球形颗粒会阻碍流动。因此，冷颗粒沉积在铺展叶片前端附近。这导致沉积颗粒在基底附近出现温度下降，而球形颗粒则不会出现这种情况。两种形状的颗粒在沉积粉末层中分布均匀。

期刊介绍： Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests: Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods. Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition. Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces). Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles. Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology. Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying. Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body. Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters. For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
