Tiivistelmä
Additive manufacturing is a relatively new manufacturing technology that is revolutionizing the way that parts for certain applications are manufactured. Additive manufacturing of metals solves many problems that traditional manufacturing methods have had by being able to build internal channels for example that would in other ways be impossible to produce.
The aim of this thesis is to research how well a metal powder designed to be used in a specific system performs in a system it was not designed to be used in. The aim is also to find out how well the process parameters from one system works in the other system and what changes need to be done to achieve the same results if any.
The study was conducted using three different materials, aluminium AlSi10Mg, stainless steel AISI 316L and cobalt chrome MP1. The materials were provided by Electro Optical Systems in addition to the other AlSi10Mg material used that was provided by SLM Solutions. The system that this study focused on was an SLM Solutions 280HL owned by the Turku University of Applied Sciences.
The tested parts of AlSi10Mg and MP1 were manufactured using the process parameters developed by SLM Solutions and the 316L samples were manufactured using the process parameters developed during this study based on the parameter tests conducted with the help of the material experts at EOS.
From the results it can be concluded that the transferring of the material feedstock was successful as the resulting part properties matched or even in some cases exceeded the properties that the results were compared.
