| Abstract Scope |
As part of an ongoing research project, an alloy adapted for arc-based 3D metal printing 3DMP ® will be developed, which will enable a more economical production of mold tools and stamping tools. Whereby the time, cost and resource requirements can be significantly reduced. To achieve this goal, commercially available reference materials were defined and tested for their properties using sample geometries standardized throughout project. Based on the first investigations an adapted alloy composition was manufactured as cored filler wire and tested for applicability. As the project progresses, the final alloy is iteratively approximated. On the way to this goal, hardness field measurements, tensile tests, as well as customized testing methods on edge stability are carried out in order to compare the different materials. The project will be completed with the 3D metal printing of a punching device for forged wrenches. |
