METAL 3D PRINTING. Characteristics and features of materials.

One of the important advantages of metal 3D printing is the ability to create a product from almost any alloy. In addition to standard metals, there is a wide range of special alloys - unique high-tech materials that are produced for specific customer tasks.

The 3D metal printing process consists in sequential layer-by-layer fusion of metal powders using powerful ytterbium laser radiation. The industry uses several different names for the same process, including selective laser melting (SLM).

Main advantages of 3D metal printing:

High density: 1. 5 times higher than casting;

· the ability to create miniature and geometrically complex objects and other unique forms in the form of closed bionic structures;

Wide range of metal alloys, both standard and special;

· Shortening production cycles and speeding up the output of finished products.

Applications:

aerospace industry;

mechanical engineering;

automotive industry;

oil and gas industry;

electronics;

medicine;

food industry;

· research and experimental work in design bureaus, scientific and educational centers.

Types of metals used in additive manufacturing

Modern additive technologies involve the use of about 20 tested and ready-to-use materials, including tool, stainless, heat-resistant alloys, aluminum and titanium alloys, medical cobalt-chromium and titanium.

Since there are a lot of metals, and each of them has certain properties, one metal can be replaced by another based on technological tasks. For example, if it is necessary to use a titanium alloy in the technological chain, then the technologist will be able to choose one of the many titanium alloys with the properties that are needed for the production of a particular product.

The following materials are the most common and in demand:

Material Ti 6 Al 4 V (Titanium alloy)

Ti6Al4V is the most common titanium alloy with excellent mechanical properties. Considered the strongest and toughest titanium alloy, it is particularly difficult to process. It has a density of 4500 kg/m³ and a tensile strength of more than 900 MPa. The Ti6Al4V alloy offers undeniable weight saving benefits in industries such as aerospace, automotive and shipbuilding. These metals are used, in particular, in the manufacture of inserts in molds, turbine blades, combustion chambers, as well as products designed to operate at high temperatures (up to +1100°C).

The main technical parameters of titanium alloy 3D printing are as follows:

Material IN 718 (Nickel Alloy)

Nickel has the ability to dissolve many other metals in itself while maintaining ductility, so there are many nickel alloys. For example, in combination with chromium, they are widely used in aircraft engines, they are used to make working and nozzle blades, turbine rotor disks, combustion chamber parts, etc. The most high-temperature resistant are nickel-based complex alloys that can withstand temperatures up to +1100°C for hundreds and thousands of hours under high static and dynamic loads. The minimum wall thickness and roughness can be attributed to the titanium alloy material. Its main mechanical properties are as follows:

Material AlSi 10 Mg (Aluminum Alloy)

These are the cheapest casting alloys. Their advantages include high corrosion resistance, fluidity, electrical and thermal conductivity. In industry, they are used, as a rule, for the manufacture of large-sized thin-walled castings of complex shape.

Main technical parameters of aluminum alloy:

Material 316 L (Stainless steel)

This category includes complex alloy steels with a chromium content (not less than 12%). Chromium oxide forms a corrosion-resistant film on the metal surface, which can be destroyed under the influence of mechanical damage or chemical environments, but is restored as a result of reaction with oxygen. Stainless alloys are used in the production of valves for hydraulic presses, fittings for cracking units, springs, welded equipment operating in aggressive environments, and products used at high temperatures (+550…800°C). Currently, it is the leader in demand among metal materials in the 3D printing industry.

The main technical parameters of stainless steel 3D printing:

The potential of metal 3D printing

Modern technologies make it possible to obtain powder for metal 3D printing with certain properties to solve specific production problems. And since almost any metal can be sprayed, the range of metal materials for 3D printers is extremely extensive.

Achievements in metallurgy are fully realized in additive manufacturing, allowing the use of unique alloys for the manufacture of geometrically complex products of increased accuracy, density and repeatability. At the same time, the introduction of metal additive installations also has limiting factors, the main of which is the relatively high cost of powders.

Metal 3D printing has great potential to improve production efficiency in many industries and is being used by a growing number of companies and research organizations. An example for the global industry is shown by such industrial leaders as General Electric, Airbus, Boeing, Michelin, who have already moved from the manufacture of single metal products to serial additive manufacturing.

Metal 3D printing is constantly evolving and every year it becomes one step closer and more accessible. This technology is not so accessible for personal use and most likely will not become so, but nevertheless it has become more accessible and, in addition to large companies, entrepreneurs of medium and possibly even small businesses can use it.

Create a cat master of a cat using Raise3D N2

Sharing an unusual case 3 D of the print of the master model provided by our customers. The guys are engaged in the design of new forms, the production of prototypes, master models, the manufacture of products from reinforced polyethylene and much, much more. We can’t name the company, the guys are very modest and don’t want attention yet =)

Our first steps in 3D printing

At the beginning, we thought for a long time which method would be more suitable for making master models, but settled on FDM printing. This method is cheaper than, for example, printing with photopolymer resins, and we don’t need super precision. If necessary, you can manually modify the printed models. And if you choose a thickness of 0.1 when printing on Raise3D, you can get just super-accurate results and very high quality results.

There was no doubt that 3D printing is one of the best ways to produce prototypes. Renders alone are not enough for visualization. And it’s easier for the eye to perceive a real model, because renders always look great, but only in a tangible model you can see all the jambs and problems that are easy to fix and as a result get something perfect. True, our first 3D printer almost killed the desire to print =) It was a manual Chinese device with a small area of 10x10x15. He typed, of course, disgusting. But then Raise appeared and instilled faith in 3D printing =)

Studied the market 3D printers in search of an ideal commercial and not exorbitantly expensive. No bad reviews were found for Raise3D, while there were reservations for other printers, and in all respects it was completely suitable. The N2 has a large camera, print resume function, omnivorousness on plastic, and most importantly, stable, accurate printing, which was confirmed after purchase. Of course, there are problems, without them nowhere. But everything is solved.

At the beginning, we encountered the problem of thread 'biting', as a result of which the gear pushing the thread was clogged with small crumbs from the thread itself. As a result, the supply of plastic was stopped, and at the point of bite, the thickness of the thread was reduced by half. This problem arose several times, I solved them with the help of cleaning plastic - I disassembled it completely and cleaned the nozzle.

There were also problems with setting the correct table temperature. After a series of experiments, he deduced his ideal temperature for sticking plastic - about 65 degrees.

On our N2 we mainly print models in 1:4 or 1:6 scale. If you need a full-size prototype, we make it from polystyrene foam on a CNC machine. But sometimes master models in 1:1 scale.

Operation Sleeping Cat

One of our latest projects is the creation of a cat sculpture in metal from scratch. This is not a commercial story - a friend's cat died, and we decided to make a monument. The Raise3D N2 printer purchased from Tsvetnoy Mir was chosen as a tool for making the master model.

Of course, this is not our only project involving a 3D printer, we will definitely share the rest of the results after the release of the products. No one canceled the trade secret =)

Let's get back to the cat...

We didn't want to use models from free access, and we created a model in 3DMAX based on the photo of the cat.

A couple of small scale samples were printed from the modeled figurine to see if any corrections needed to be made to the file. The goal was to print a life-size cat in several parts, and it was important to understand how the model would look when finished.

The model was cut into 4 pieces of approximately equal size, given the same length and width, it seemed the most convenient. White Esun PLA was used for printing.

The result was a cat sized 40x40x25 cm.

Printing time was 12-14 hours for each of the four parts.

Layer thickness: 0.2 mm

Infill: 5%

The printed cat was glued, puttied and sanded…

Then we made a silicone mold, with its help we got a wax copy, then a burnt-out model and the last step was the casting of our cat!
