This research is related to direct metal laser sintering of additive manufacturing. This new technology is increasingly being used in more sectors, for example in biomedical industry, where a damaged product can potentially endanger human life. Corrosion tests were carried out during our research. Cyclic voltammetry curves and corrosion rates were determined with a potentiostat. Two typical biocompatible implant materials were compared, a cobalt chromium alloy (powder metallurgy) and a titanium alloy (3D printed). The results will help in specifying the corrosion properties of additively manufactured materials.","PeriodicalId":426392,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia Transilvanica","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122519155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The joining technology used should meet both environmental and technical requirements. The joining zone is subjected to high mechanical and significant thermal loads during use. In the event of an improper joint, the segments may detach from the base and fly away causing injury. Nowadays, many methods of welding or brazing are used to fix diamond segments. Among the possible segment fixing technologies, laser beam welding has been investigated. The microstructure of the joints has been examined by optical and scanning electron microscopy and chemical element maps have been recorded. Joints have been subjected to fracture and hardness testing. The mechanical properties and composition changes of the joints with different joining technologies have been evaluated and compared.","PeriodicalId":426392,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia Transilvanica","volume":"400 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127595376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During our work, we have mapped the possibility of replacing resistance welding with laser beam welding. Furthermore, we have found a solution to the problems occurring during laser beam welding. The biggest challenge in laser beam technology is that the zinc coating on the steel plates (required to prevent corrosion) evaporates during welding, resulting in pores, and leading to a significant reduction in weld strength. We have solved that by using spacer sheets, which allow the zinc vapour to escape from the keyhole.","PeriodicalId":426392,"journal":{"name":"Acta Materialia Transilvanica","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133648478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
