Item Open Access Die Kornstruktur und der Heißrisswiderstand von Laserstrahlschweißnähten in Aluminiumlegierungen(München : utzverlag, 2020) Hagenlocher, Christian; Graf, Thomas (Prof. Dr. phil. nat.)Die Kornstruktur einer Schweißnaht beeinflusst ihren Widerstand gegen die Bildung von Nahtmittenheißrissen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde der übergreifende Zusammenhang zwischen Schweißparameter, Kornstruktur und Heißrisswiderstand beim Laserstrahlschweißen durch analytische Gleichungen beschrieben und das resultierende Modell experimentell validiert.Item Open Access Local laser heat treatment of AlSi10Mg as-built parts produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion(2024) Kramer, Steffen; Jarwitz, Michael; Schulze, Volker; Zanger, FrederikToday, complex structural components for lightweight applications are frequently manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB), often using aluminum alloys such as AlSi10Mg. However, the application of cyclic load cases can be challenging as PBF-LB produced AlSi10Mg parts typically have low ductility and corresponding brittle failure behavior in the as-built condition. Therefore, this paper presents investigations on the feasibility of a laser heat treatment of PBF-LB produced AlSi10Mg parts to locally increase the ductility and decrease the hardness in critical areas. Potential heat treatment process parameters were derived theoretically based on the temperature fields in the material calculated assuming three-dimensional heat conduction and a moving heat source. PBF-LB produced specimens were then laser heat treated at varying laser power and scan speed. Hardness measurements on metallographic cross sections showed hardness reductions of over 35 % without inducing hydrogen pore growth.Item Open Access General mathematical model for the period chirp in interference lithography(2023) Bienert, Florian; Graf, Thomas; Abdou Ahmed, MarwanItem Open Access Influence of geometry variations during pyrometric temperature measurement in laser material processing(2024) Traunecker, David; Jarwitz, Michael; Michalowski, AndreasItem Open Access Process limits for percussion drilling of stainless steel with ultrashort laser pulses at high average powers(2022) Brinkmeier, David; Holder, Daniel; Loescher, André; Röcker, Christoph; Förster, Daniel J.; Onuseit, Volkher; Weber, Rudolf; Abdou Ahmed, Marwan; Graf, ThomasThe availability of commercial ultrafast lasers reaching into the kW power level offers promising potential for high-volume manufacturing applications. Exploiting the available average power is challenging due to process limits imposed by particle shielding, ambient atmosphere breakdown, and heat accumulation effects. We experimentally confirm the validity of a simple thermal model, which can be used for the estimation of a critical heat accumulation threshold for percussion drilling of AISI 304 steel. The limits are summarized in a processing map, which provides selection criteria for process parameters and suitable lasers. The results emphasize the need for process parallelization.Item Open Access Stream finishing of additively manufactured AlSi10Mg PBF-LB parts: influence on surface quality and fatigue behaviour(2024) Wexel, Helena; Kramer, Steffen; Schubert, Johannes; Schulze, Volker; Zanger, FrederikItem Open Access Tuning the hardness of produced parts by adjusting the cooling rate during laser-based powder bed fusion of AlSi10Mg by adapting the process parameters(2022) Leis, Artur; Traunecker, David; Weber, Rudolf; Graf, ThomasThe mechanical properties of parts produced by laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) are mainly determined by the grain structure in the material, which is governed by the cooling rate during solidification. This cooling rate strongly depends on the scan velocity and the absorbed laser power. Experiments with varying process parameters were performed to develop and validate an analytical model that predicts the hardness of printed AlSi10Mg parts. It was found that it is possible to tune the hardness of additively manufactured parts of AlSi10Mg in a range between 60 ± 9 HV0.5 and 100 ± 10 HV0.5 by adjusting the cooling rate during solidification with adapted process parameters.Item Open Access Comparison of in-process laser drying with furnace and vacuum drying to reduce moisture of AlSi10Mg powder processed in Laser Powder Bed Fusion(2024) Lubkowitz, Victor; Fayner, Leonie; Kramer, Steffen; Schulze, Volker; Zanger, FrederikIn most powder bed-based laser melting systems (PBF-LB), metal powders must be handled without inertization but in an air atmosphere for a short time, increasing the AlSi10Mg powder moisture and reducing the achievable component density. Consequently, different drying methods were investigated. Drying in a furnace with an inert atmosphere, using a vacuum to evaporate the water at low temperatures, and vaporizing moisture layerwise from the spreaded powder with a defocused, low-power laser beam as a further process step of the PBF-LB process. Therefore, four different moisturized powders, which were dried with different settings for the drying methods, are analyzed. All drying methods reduce the moisture content of the powder, with in-process drying being the most effective. Due to the oxide layer growth around the particles during furnace and vacuum drying, the achievable sample density after drying is worse. In-process drying with low energy density is the best option to reach a reduction of hydrogen pores and an increase of density.Item Open Access Process window for highly efficient laser-based powder bed fusion of AlSi10Mg with reduced pore formation(2021) Leis, Artur; Weber, Rudolf; Graf, ThomasItem Open Access A process-planning framework for sustainable manufacturing(2021) Reiff, Colin; Buser, Matthias; Betten, Thomas; Onuseit, Volkher; Hoßfeld, Max; Wehner, Daniel; Riedel, OliverProcess planning in manufacturing today focuses on optimizing the conflicting targets of cost, quality, and time. Due to increasing social awareness and subsequent governmental regulation, environmental impact becomes a fourth major aspect. Eventually, sustainability in manufacturing ensures future competitiveness. In this paper, a framework for the planning of sustainable manufacturing is proposed. It is based on the abstraction and generalization of manufacturing resources and part descriptions, which are matched and ranked using a multi-criteria decision analysis method. Manufacturing resources provide values for cost, quality, time and environmental impacts, which multiply with their usage within a manufacturing task for a specific part. The framework is validated with a detailed modeling of a laser machine as a resource revealing benefits and optimization potential of the underlying data model. Finally, the framework is applied to a use case of a flange part with two different manufacturing strategies, i.e., laser metal-wire deposition and conventional milling. The most influential parameters regarding the environmental impacts are the raw material input, the manufacturing energy consumption and the machine production itself. In general, the framework enabled the identification of non-predetermined manufacturing possibilities and the comprehensive comparison of production resources.
