Selective Laser Melting is a promising manufacturing technique which has been developed significantly in recent years. Additive nature of the process and selective fusion of metal powders enables manufacturing of complex geometries with minimum material wastege. However, residual stress formation during build stage of Selective Laser Melting process have negative effect on part mechanical properties and service life. Existence of residual stresses may lead to crack formation, part distortion and may reduce fatigue life eventually causing part failure. Although residual stress is released to some extent by post-process heat treatment, distortion occurs and allowable part tolerances may not be satisfied. For this reason, strong understanding of the mechanisms of residual stress and deformation is required in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of problems in question. Hovewer, the complex multiphysics characteristics of SLM process make it difficult to tailor the process parameters and overcome manufacturing issues; besides, long process time of the process and wastege of raw material make the experimental or trial-error solution approaches unfeasible. At this point numerical simulation techniques offer an applicable practice for the understanding, prediction and mitigation of residual stress and distoriton problem. In this study, modelling and simulation apporaches for residual stress and distortions for SLM process as well as subsequent heat treatment of 17-4 PH Stainless Steel are evaluated. Validation of simulation results are practiced with both CMM and contour residual stress measurement technique.

Manufacturing of Functionally Graded Porous Products by Selective Laser Sintering Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve; Dağ, Serkan (2008-09-25) Selective laser sintering (SLS) is a rapid prototyping technique which is used to manufacture plastic and metal models. The porosity of the final product obtained by SLS can be controlled by changing the energy density level used during the manufacturing process. The energy density level is itself dependent upon manufacturing parameters such as laser power, hatching distance and scanning speed. Through mechanical characterization techniques, it is possible to quantitatively relate the energy density levels ...
Simulator of an additive and subtractive type of hybrid manufacturing system Dilberoğlu, Mecid Uğur; Yaman, Ulaş; Dölen, Melik (2019-06-24) Additive Manufacturing (AM) facilitates the production of intricate objects despite its weakness in attainable part quality and fabrication speed compared to the conventional manufacturing methods. To alleviate the problems arising as a natural outcome of AM methods, hybrid technologies become viable options by employing concurrent manufacturing procedures, e.g. synergetic additive and subtractive manufacturing (SM) actions. Hybrid workstations have recently opened up new dimensions to 3D-printing industry,...
High Temperature Mechanical Properties of Ceramic Dispersoid Reinforced 17-4 PH Stainless Steel Produced by Selective Laser Melting Özsoy, Andaç; Dericioğlu, Arcan Fehmi; Aydoğan Güngör, Eda; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2021-9-08) Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a metal additive manufacturing process used to produce complex-shaped parts by the fusion of metal powders by a laser heat source. SLM processing of metals offers various advantages such as freedom of design, part consolidation, fast prototyping, weight reduction etc. Stainless steels have been one of the first choices to be implemented in SLM processing. Among these, 17-4 PH stainless steel holds a sweet spot with its corrosion resistance, weldability and high strength at e...
3D printing of polymeric tissue engineering scaffolds using open-source fused deposition modeling Alagoz, Ayse Selcen; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2020-08-01) Open-source printing is a field where the cost of printing additive manufacturing products is cheaper due to more economical software and parts to construct a product including those of tissue engineering scaffolds. In this manuscript, fused deposition modeling (FDM) is used as the main avenue of open-source use in 3D printing of tissue engineering scaffolds. Additive manufacturing enables the researchers to build 3D products with interior and exterior architectures precisely defined and produced using open...
Computational Investigation of the 3-D effects on Dynamic Fracture of Curved Composite Laminates Tamer Tahir, Ata; Çöker, Demirkan (2018-09-07) Composite materials are used more and more in aerospace, commercial and industrial applications due to high specific stiffness, strength and damage tolerance capability. The main advantage of composite materials, it allows the stiffness and strength of the material to change with direction of loading. Hence tailoring structıres to meet load requirements reduces weight and allows designer to optimize structure. Considering all these advantages, primary and secondary structural elements of recent commercial a...
