Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2024

Abstract

This work investigates the corrosion morphology of AISI 316L stainless steel produced by laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF). The behavior of the as printed surface is compared with that of the bulk material to understand the effect of microstructure and roughness of the as printed surface on its corrosion behavior.
The L-PBF specimens investigated in this work were manufactured with...

The 3D Master method aims to reduce effort and misinterpretation while transferring product information from the design office to the production department, thanks to 3D model files containing all the product manufacturing information (PMI).
Thus, for a metal additive manufacturing (MAM) part, the 3D Master method gives direct access to crucial data, such as the product’s materials and 3D...

The advantages of the PBF-LB/M process, such as geometric complexity due to increased design freedom or function integration, offer great potential for optimizing products in the automotive sector. However, it often does not go beyond prototyping and small series, as productivity is too low for the required quantities and economies of scale can rarely be exploited lucratively. In the field of...

Additive manufacturing technology has initiated a transformative phase in the industrial landscape, particularly in the realm of metal 3D printing. A key element for the success of this revolutionary manufacturing method lies in the availability of high-quality metal powders that meet the specific requirements of various applications. This work sheds light on the innovative development of new...
