SLS Project Plan for 3D Cylinder

The project will study the effects of laser power density, interaction time, and graphite content on samples produced by selective laser sintering of iron powder. A 3D cylinder with dimensions of 90mm height and 20mm diameter will be manufactured. Variables tested include laser power of 200W, 300W, and 400W; average particle size; and interaction time. Samples will be made with pure iron powder and iron powder containing 0.2%, 0.4%, and 0.6% graphite. A total of 72 cylindrical specimens will be produced and analyzed to determine microstructural changes, mechanical properties, hardness, roughness and crushing strength.

(PROJECT PLAN)

SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING FOR 3D MANUFACTURING


SAMPLE SHAPE TO BE PRODUCED BY SLS : 3D CYLINDER

90 mm

=20 mm

In this project work ,it is decided to produce 3 dimensional cylinder by using selective laser
sintering(SLS) with pulsed/CW fiber LASER as a heat source.

Two dimensional data (height=90mm and diameter=20mm ) will be provided by


computer aided design(CAD)and SLS process will be computerized numerically
controlled(CNC).

In this project work the metal powder used will be pure iron powder(Fe) at
first and then the graphite(0.2%,0.4%,0.6%) will be embedded to observe the
effects on the sintered sample.

Parameters which will be varied will be average particle size (),the interaction
time and laser power density(200W-400W).

Objective of this project work is to study the effect of power density and
interaction time on microstructural changes, hardness, roughness, crushing
strength and mechanical properties of sintered sample.

At first, pure iron powder will be used for selective laser sintering and 3 different
Laser powers 200W,300W and 400W will be used.
For 200W laser power density,6 different samples with 3 different average particle
sizes will be manufactured.
Each sample will have different interaction time for different particle size, hence
a total of 6 samples will be produced for 200W.
Same process will be repeated for LASER power of 300W and 400W
Finally.18 selectively laser sintered samples will be obtained with pure Fe powder
Microstructural changes and mechanical properties will then be investigated.

In the next part ,0.2% graphite will be embedded in pure iron powder and the
process mentioned above will be repeated.
After this, SLS will be done with 0.4% and 0.6% graphite and the same process
will be repeated.
Number of samples produced will be- 18+18+18=54 samples
In total 18 + 54 =72 sintered cylindrical specimens will be manufactured
By addition of graphite, effects on sintered density , crushing strength,
microstructure and mechanical properties will be studied.
Conclusions will be made from the obtained results.
