Context:
Metal additive manufacturing by wire deposition followed by sintering normally generates little deformation during the construction of objects, compared to processes using high-energy beams (laser powder bed fusion).
Nevertheless, deformation or breakage can occur due to insufficient stiffness/strength during the sintering heat treatment.
Project description:
The project aims to evaluate and model the evolution of the mechanical properties of the composite material, made up of a polymer binder and metal powder, at the various stages of its shaping/implementation and to deduce design rules enabling to avoid the phenomena of deformation and rupture.
Report and analysis of the experiments and calculations performed in the form of a scientific paper.
- required skills:
-
Knowledge of CAD software (Solidworks), and finite element calculation (Ansys).
