Aim
The aim of the course is to give the student a deeper understanding of properties of additively manufactured materials, also in a comparison with conventional analogs.
Course objectives
After completing the course, the student shall be able to:
- describe main principle of formation of microstructure in additive manufacturing methods involved in the course,
- explain mechanisms of formation of defects in additive manufacturing methods involved in the course, and how they affect mechanical properties,
- describe the main classes of materials used in the most common additives manufacturing methods,
- explain how manufacturing method influences main properties,
- identify and describe differences in the microstructure of additive compared to conventionally manufactured materials, and
- suggest and motivate ways to post-treat additively manufactured materials to improve properties.
Content
The course will contain explanation of the basic principles of formation of microstructure, a discussion on microstructure-properties relation in additively manufactured materials, comparative analysis of properties of materials manufactured with different methods. The focus of the course will be on metallic materials (steels, Ti-alloys, Al-alloys, Ni-alloys) but an introduction is also given to other materials.
