The paper presents experimental research regarding the application of specific low melting metals in the FDM process. Previous trends in the transfer of the filament from the spool to the hot-end showed that the filament undergoes specific mechanical stress during the transfer. To achieve an appropriate transfer the filament should prove stiffness and resistance to the mechanical actions of the transfer wheels. At the same time, the entrance to the hot-end creates specific resistance to the movement of the filament, and the filament undergoes important deformations. The experimental research used three materials characterized by melting temperature below 260oC: Sn-58Bi, Sn-9Zn, and Sn-3.5Ag. Sn-58Bi showed a yield stress above 50 MPa, but very low extension during the tensile test. Sn-9Zn exhibited a yield stress above 30 MPa, and about double the extension during the tensile test. Sn-3.5Ag displayed a yield stress above 25 MPa, and extension in excess of 8%. The analysis of the surface was performed, revealing that the increase of the yield stress influenced the appearance of specific prints given by the transfer wheels. The deepest prints were measured for Sn-3.5Ag and they were maximum 100 μm. The other two materials were stiffer and the prints have depths below 50 μm. According to the obtained results, each of the tested materials can be an appropriate solution to filament use for the FDM 3D printing process.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perilaku uji tarik produk Al 2524-T3 dan Al 2024-T3 yang mengalami proses peregangan, chemical milling dan shot peening. Paduan ini diregangkan melebihi tegangan yeildnya masing-masing 1%, 3% dan 5%, kemudian dilakukan proses chemical milling satu sisi. Etsa yang digunakan dalam proses milling kimia adalah larutan NaOH + Na2S + H2O dengan konsentrasi tertentu. Pada permukaan dilakukan proses shot peening dengan variasi intensitas masing-masing 0,03 A, 0,05 A dan 0,07 A. Material tersebut kemudian diuji sifat mekaniknya dengan uji tarik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tegangan ultimate dan tegangan yield material meningkat dengan meningkatnya persentase regangan. Namun, perpanjangan juga meningkat yang menunjukkan bahwa proses peregangan justru meningkatkan keuletan. Di sisi lain, proses shot peening menurunkan elongasi yang mengindikasikan bahwa proses shot peening menyebabkan penurunan keuletan material. Kata kunci: pengujian tarik, chemical milling, shot peening, stretchingAbstractThis study aims to investigate the tensile test behaviour of Al 2524-T3 and Al 2024-T3 product, which undergoes stretching, chemical milling and shot peening processes. These alloys were stretched beyond yield stress, namely 1%, 3% and 5% of each, and then performed chemical milling process of one side. The etching used in chemical milling process were NaOH+Na2S+H2O solutions with certain concentration. The surface was performed shot peening process with varying intensity of 0.03 A, 0.05 A and 0.07 A respectively. The material then tested its mechanical properties by tensile test. The results show that ultimate and yield stress of material increases with the increase of stretching percentage. However, the elongation has also increased which indicates that stretching process actually increases the ductility. On the other hand, the shot peening process decreases the elongation which indicates that the shot peening process causes a reduction in the ductility of the material.  Keywords: tensile tes, chemical milling, shot peening, stretching

This work are made for determine the possibility of generating the specific parts of a threaded assembly. If aspects of CAD generating specific elements was analysed over time in several works, the technological aspects of making components by printing processes 3D through optical polymerization process is less studied. Generating the threaded appeared as a necessity for the reconditioning technology or made components of the processing machines. To determine the technological aspects of 3D printing are arranged to achieve specific factors of the technological process, but also from the specific elements of a trapezoidal thread or spiral for translate granular material in supply process are determined experimentally. In the first part analyses the constructive generation process of a spiral element. In the second part are identified the specific aspects that can generation influence on the process of realization by 3D DLP printing of the two studied elements. The third part is affected to printing and determining the dimensions of the analysed components. We will determine the specific value that can influence the process of making them in rapport with printing process. The last part is affected by the conclusions. It can be noticed that both the orientation and the precision of generating solid models have a great influence on the made parts.

During the October 2000 refueling outage at the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station, a leak was discovered in one of the three reactor vessel hot leg nozzle to pipe weld connections. The root cause of this leak was determined to be extensive weld repairs causing high tensile stresses throughout the pipe weld; leading to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) of the Alloy 82/182 (Inconel). This nozzle was repaired and V.C. Summer began investigating other mitigative or repair techniques on the other nozzles. During the next refueling outage V.C. Summer took mitigative actions by applying the patented Mechanical Stress Improvement Process (MSIP) to the other hot legs. MSIP contracts the pipe on one side of the weldment, placing the inner region of the weld into compression. This is an effective means to prevent and mitigate PWSCC. Analyses were performed to determine the redistribution of residual stresses, amount of strain in the region of application, reactor coolant piping loads and stresses, and effect on equipment supports. In May 2002, using a newly designed 34-inch clamp, MSIP was successfully applied to the two hot-leg nozzle weldments. The pre- and post-MSIP NDE results were highly favorable. MSIP has been used extensively on piping in boiling water reactor (BWR) plants to successfully prevent and mitigate SCC. This includes Reactor Vessel nozzle piping over 30-inch diameter with 2.3-inch wall thickness similar in both size and materials to piping in pressurized water reactor (PWR) plants such as V.C. Summer. The application of MSIP at V.C. Summer was successfully completed and showed the process to be predictable with no significant changes in the overall operation of the plant. The pre- and post-nondestructive examination of the reactor vessel nozzle weldment showed no detrimental effects on the weldment due to the MSIP.
