Description
Advantages of additive technologies
- Production of complex geometry and different design
- Fast production of difficult to cut materials, such as high-temperature alloys
- The ability to integrate complex design elements in the product (the item in detail)
- Reduced consumption of materials,low cost and manufacturing production time
- Possibility of fast transfer of 3D-model anywhere in the world and rapid production of necessary details, for example while repairing complex object in "field" conditions
Currently:
- An experimental processing unit has been created
- Tests of direct laser technology cultivation have been carried out
- metallographic examinations and mechanical tests of grown samples has been conducted
- Test results confirmed the correctness of chosen technical solutions and high quality of crated products
The range of commercially available powders:
- aluminum-based powders
- titanium-based powders
- heat-resistant materials
- steal
- tool Materials
- copper-based powders
Benefits:
- simplicity of the equipment used;
- wide range of control parameters;
- process stability and ease of retuning;
- possibility of spraying refractory materials and materials with special properties;
- possibility of thermo-chemical treatment during the spraying process;
- opportunity to influence the shaping (spherical, elongated, flat);
- producing powders of a given size;
- possibility of creating of controlled atmosphere;
- compactness of the equipment and possibility to fully automate the process;
- cost reduction of metal powders and alloys preparation with a melting point of 1500 ° C;
- elimination of mechanical contact with the heater;
- metal melting convenience in the laboratory;
- possibility of vusual control of the state of aggregation;
- determining the time required for discharging metal drops for further spraying.
