To higher realize the material actions in the course of AM processes, the microstructure evolution of materials along with the response of additively produced pieces right after the method, multipurpose material designs need to be created.
Look at cause-effect relationships on the basis of prototype parameter variations inside the material growth or inside the manufacturing measures with the customer.
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes develop into of An increasing number of value in numerous engineering fields. Resulting from The variability of AM procedures and programs also the diversity of processible materials improves, ranging, e.g., from thermoplastics by means of nickel-centered Tremendous alloys to ceramics. During the procedure the materials are usually exposed to serious thermal and mechanical loads, bear phase transitions and/or transform their microstructure after solidification, dependant upon the process situations.
The competence spectrum of scientists at the Fraunhofer IWM ranges from quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics to computational physics and from homogenization techniques to continuum models. Within the parts of continuum mechanics, material concept, fracture mechanics and thermodynamics we explain the actions of materials about the macroscopic scale all of the way via to producing processes and ingredient Qualities.
Tough magnets Enjoy a crucial position in changing electromechanical Power in electromobility applications and wind turbines. The greater demand for materials that contains uncommon earth metals has, however, attained a significant stage.
The set-up of quantitative micromechanical products generally follows a reverse engineering strategy. The constituents’ parameters are diversified inside a attribute physical array to match the worldwide performance with the material as observed in anisotropic measurements.
