Process-adapted material characterization for laser beam melting (A03)

• Subject Area: Mechanical Process Engineering
• Term: from 2011 to 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 61375930

The object of this sub-project is the scientific and quantitative determination as well as the develop-ment of a fundamental understanding of essential material-related process variables, which explicitly describe the solidification behavior and the energy input during the laser melting process of poly-mers. The manufacturing of components with low internal stresses and high mechanical strength re-quires optimized process parameters which are derived from process-oriented characterization of the powder materials with regard to their thermo-mechanical and optical properties.
