Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the most popular methods to produce parts with complex geometries using a wide range of materials. Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing (ADAM) is an AM method to manufacture metal parts by using filaments which include metal powders encased in plastic binders. Various types of materials can be 3D printed with this method, including stainless steel, copper, tool steel, Inconel, and titanium. In this study, ADAM method is used to manufacture cold plates with interior channels used to cool down circuit boards for electronic applications. Before the fabrication of cold plates, test parts that replicate some parts of the cold plates are manufactured to characterize material properties and control the quality of initial parts. CMM measurements, surface roughness measurements, Micro-CT and X-ray scans, density determination with Archimedes method, SEM analysis, and thermal conductivity measurements are conducted on the test parts. Then, interior channels are generated with different cross sections considering supportless manufacturing where the liquid stream passes. Pressure drop and temperature mapping of the cold plates manufactured with copper are observed with experiments. According to the results, the lowest pressure drop is obtained for the cold plate with triangle cross-section. Cold plate with droplet cross-section has the minimum temperature value on the resistor and has the highest performance rating among the other cold plates manufactured via ADAM method. This design approach shows that ADAM can be used for its speed and wide range of materials, and can be adapted for various fast-prototyping industries that require complex interior channels in mechanical parts.

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,...
Milling of magnesium powders without additives ÇAKMAK, GÜLHAN; Öztürk, Tayfur (2013-03-01) Mechanical milling of ductile metals and alloys into fine powders is difficult to achieve due to particle agglomeration. Even though cryogenic milling and/or wet milling can lead to substantial reduction of particle size, the production of fine powders from ductile metals and alloys is a difficult process. The current study deals with the milling of Mg and examines alternative processing methods that would yield an efficient size reduction. Two methods were studied; milling with MgH2 addition, and milling t...
Mechanical properties of nylon parts produced by fused deposition modeling Hasçelik, Sabit; Öztürk, Ömer T.; Özerinç, Sezer (2021-01-01) Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is a widely used additive manufacturing technique for producing polymeric parts. While most commonly used FDM filaments are PLA and ABS, nylon is a widely used thermoplastic polymer in industry. This study investigated the mechanical properties of FDM-produced specimens made of nylon and quantified the effect of process parameters such as raster orientation and nozzle temperature on the mechanical properties. As the nozzle temperature increases, specimens become stronger with...
Crystal plasticity modeling of additively manufactured metallic microstructures Acar, Sadik Sefa; Bulut, Orhun; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2021-01-01) Different manufacturing processes such as flow forming, rolling, wire drawing and additive manufacturing induce anisotropic grain structure and texture evolution at the micro scale, which results in macroscopic anisotropic plastic behavior. Among these microstructures, development of columnar grain structure is quite common especially in additively manufactured metallic materials. A systematic micromechanical analysis is necessary to evaluate the influence of both grain morphology and texture (orientation a...
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 ...
