The desire for individualized products forces the companies to a great diversity of combinable parts. This way, the clients can compile their personalized product. As this trend is not just limited on visual parts but also for functional components, laser additive manufacturing of metals is used more and more often in manufacturing. To bring more additive manufacturing into mass production, Laser Beam Melting and Laser Metal Deposition will be qualified for the use in tool manufacturing within the Bavarian research association “ForNextGen – Next Generation Tools”. The first subproject within this research association investigates the potential of Laser Metal Deposition in the production of hot and cold forging tools. Within initial tests optimized process, parameters for the processing of the hot-work steel 1.2709 are determined by single welding beads. The achieved density and the inner structure are analyzed within cubes that were built with the investigated parameters. As forging tools are usually made of high-carbon tool steel, the processing of materials with a rising percentage of carbon will be part of further investigations.

Abstract Laser additive manufacturing (LAM) is a near-net-shape production technique by which a part can be built up from 3D CAD model data, without material removal. Recently, these production processes gained attention due to the spreading of polymer-based processes in private and commercial applications. However, due to the insufficient development of metal producing processes regarding design, process information and qualification, resistance on producing functional components with this technology is still present. To overcome this restriction further studies have to be undertaken. The present research proposes a parametric study of additive manufacturing of hot work tool steel, H11. The selected LAM process is wire-based laser metal deposition (LMD-W). The study consists of parameters optimization for single beads (laser power, travel speed and wire feed rate) as well as lateral and vertical overlap for layer-by-layer technique involved in LMD process. Results show that selection of an ideal set of parameters affects substantially the surface quality, bead uniformity and bond between substrate and clad. Discussion includes the role of overlapping on the soundness of parts based on the height homogeneity of each layer, porosity and the presence of gaps. For the conditions tested it was shown that once the deposition parameters are selected, lateral and vertical overlapping determines the integrity and quality of parts processed by LAM.

Abstract With the constant increase of energy costs and environmental impacts, improving the process efficiency is considered a priority issue for the manufacturing field. A wide knowledge about materials, energy, machinery, and auxiliary equipment is required in order to optimize the overall performance of manufacturing processes. Sustainability needs to be assessed in order to find an optimal compromise between technical quality of products and environmental compatibility of processes. In this new Industry 4.0 era, innovative manufacturing technologies, as the additive manufacturing, are taking a predominant role. The aim of this work is to give an insight into how thermodynamic laws contribute at the same time to improve energy efficiency of manufacturing resources and to provide a methodological support to move towards a smart and sustainable additive process. In this context, a fundamental step is the proper design of a sensing and real-time monitoring framework of an additive manufacturing process. This framework should be based on an accurate modelling of the physical phenomena and technological aspects of the considered process, taking into account all the sustainability requirements. To this end, a thermodynamic model for the direct laser metal deposition (DLMD) process was proposed as a test case. Finally, an exergetic analysis was conducted on a prototype DLMD system to validate the effectiveness of an ad-hoc monitoring system and highlight the limitations of this process. What emerged is that the proposed framework provided significant advantages, since it represents a valuable approach for finding suitable process management strategies to identify sustainable solutions for innovative manufacturing procedures.
