Download or read book Maritime Applications of Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing written by Anne E. Bladow and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Additive Manufacturing (AM) is a process where components are created by continually adding material one layer at a time. Several benefits of "additive" manufacturing versus traditional "subtractive" machining processes include a reduction of material waste, ease of producing complex parts by reducing the amount of production steps, and the reduction of manufacturing lead-time. Metal based AM (also called metal 3D printing) technologies have been developing over the past three decades to simplify the manufacturing process of metal parts and assemblies. The aerospace, medical, and marine industries have begun to utilize AM technologies in production. A review of current maritime applications of AM is included. The Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) process, which uses Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding, is demonstrated to analyze its potential application for maritime utilization. This report shows how the flexural yield strength of welded plates changes with different amounts of metal additive reinforcement. A standard three-point bending test was conducted to determine the difference in flexural yield strength and to observe material behavior. Finally, it is discussed that AM processes, such as WAAM, are still being developing but their potential in the maritime industry is clear.

Download or read book AM Envelope written by Holger Strauss and published by TU Delft. This book was released on 2013-01-29 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows the potential of Additive Manufacturing (AM) for the development of building envelopes: AM will change the way of designing facades, how we engineer and produce them. To achieve today’s demands from those future envelopes, we have to find new solutions. The term ‘AM Envelope’ (Additive Manufacturing Envelope) describes the transfer of this technology to the building envelope. Additive Fabrication is a building block that aids in developing the building envelope from a mere space enclosure to a dynamic building envelope. AM offers the opportunity to manufacture facades ‘just in time’. It is no longer necessary to store or produce large numbers of parts in advance. Initial investment for tooling can be avoided, as design improvements can be realized within the dataset of the AM part. AM is based on ‘tool-less’ production, all parts can be further developed with every new generation. The basic principle of AM opens a fascinating new world of engineering, no matter what applications can be found: to ‘design for function’ rather to ‘design for production’ turns our way of engineering of the last century upside down. A collection of AM applications therefore offers the outlook to our (built) future in combination with the acquired knowledge.

Download or read book Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing of Aluminum Components written by Markus Köhler and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An increasing demand for flexibility and product integration, combined with reduced product development cycles, leads to continuous development of new manufacturing technologies such as additive manufacturing. Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) provides promising technology for the near net-shape production of large structures with complex geometry, using cost efficient production resources such as arc welding technology and wire materials. Compared to powder-based additive manufacturing processes, WAAM offers high deposition rates as well as enhanced material utilization. Because of the layer-by-layer built up approach, process conditions such as energy input, arc characteristics, and material composition result in a different processability during the additive manufacturing process. This experimental study aims to describe the effects of the welding process on buildup accuracy and material properties during wire arc additive manufacturing of aluminum structures. Following a process development using pulse cold metal transfer (CMT-P), linear wall samples were manufactured with variations of the filler metal. The samples were analyzed in terms of surface finishing, hardness, and residual stress. Furthermore, mechanical properties were determined in different building directions.
Download or read book Investigating the Feasibility and Impact of Integrating Wire arc Additive Manufacturing in Aerospace Tooling Applications written by Jeffrey Bowen Chu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) as fabrication method for Iron-Nickel 36 (Invar36) alloy aerospace tooling is a growing area of interest for many tooling companies and composite aircraft manufacturers. However, the full adoption and utilization of WAAM techniques is hindered due to lack of industry experience and end-part quality precedent. For some tool makers, the feasibility of utilizing additively manufactured Invar components is still under investigation because key material characteristics of end-parts are not well understood. Further, the impact of implementing additive manufacturing on a manufacturer’s internal operations is not widely documented. While much academic research has been conducted on WAAM technologies, Invar, and change management for new technology introductions, much of the available literature does not provide the specificity needed to supplant an aerospace toolmakers’ need for hands-on experience. This research will investigate both the technical feasibility of using WAAM Invar components (with respect to end-part quality and performance) in aerospace tool fabrication, as well as the organizational feasibility and impact of adopting the technology. This thesis will describe the series of testing completed to evaluate WAAM Invar in the context of an aerospace toolmaker and will outline some of the key organizational impacts that must be acknowledged for adoption of additive manufacturing within an aerospace tool making company. Because of this research, we hope to demonstrate the viability of utilizing WAAM Invar for aerospace tooling applications.
