Numerical modeling of local material properties and thereof derived process strategies for powder bed based additive manufacturing of bulk metallic glasses (T02#)

• Subject Area: Production Automation and Assembly Technology
• Term: from 2018 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 61375930

The aim of this project is to facilitate additive manufacturing of bulk metallic components by selective laser melting based on predictive numerical simulations. There should be developed suitable process strategies to ensure the amorphous material state preferably without aging effects in the bulk as well as for complex geometries. Therefore, clear statements using the numerical simulation has to be made exceeding the temperature field and the material consolidation during manufacturing towards the solidification behavior, aging and finally crystallization.
