Abstract Scope |
Although bronze is one of the oldest alloys known to mankind, it is still has a variety of uses in many different applications. Beside artwork and musical instruments, bronze is of significant technological relevance in various applications including electrical connectors as well as high-precision springs and bearings. Thanks to excellent resistance to salt water corrosion, bronze is widely used in marine applications like propulsion and seawater handling systems. Using the EOS M290 complex shapes using complex materials can be fabricated by using the Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) process. Cu-10Sn bronze parameters will be developed as well density cubes and tensile bars will be fabricated. Porosity studies and mechanical properties obtained from parts fabricated by the conventional process will be compared to the mechanical properties of the additive manufactured parts. |
