Objective:
The aim of the project was to investigate the phenomena occurring during the process of rapid prototyping of test components made of corrosion-resistant steel, NiTi alloys with shape memory and nickel alloys. The use of two-layer production technologies in parallel, using an electron beam and a high-power laser beam were planned in the project. The main advantage of rapid prototyping technology is the possibility of obtaining parts with a complex shape with a lower production cost and lower energy consumption. The research fits into global trends related to the development of unique production methods using rapid prototyping methods. It contributes to a better understanding of the microstructure of layered metal alloys, also for future industrial applications.
Correlations between the microstructure and mechanical properties of alloys embedded with additive technologies were determined as part of the project.
