Abstract Scope |
Producing complex parts from multiple materials using conventional technologies is challenging, time-consuming, and often uneconomical due to additional manufacturing steps and increased costs. Multi-material powder bed fusion of metals using a laser beam (PBF-LB/MM) opens up new possibilities for processing several materials in a single manufacturing step and can significantly enhance functionality and lightweight potential, for example in aerospace applications. The processability of two materials using PBF-LB/MM has already been demonstrated for the combination of the copper alloy CW106C (CuCr1Zr) and tool steel 1.2709 (X3NiCoMoTi18-9-5). Defects in the transition zone of the materials, such as pores and cracks, could be influenced and reduced by adjusting process-related parameters. However, the experimental effort is high. This paper presents an approach on how new material combinations can be qualified for PBF-LB/MM. Understanding and influencing relevant factors, both material and process-related, allow for a standardized processing and enable the production of innovative parts. |
