Modification of the crystallographic texture of austenitic steel by 3D printing
Fábry, Adam ; Dočekalová, Kateřina (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
The microstructure, and therefore the mechanical properties of the material, depend on the cooling rate and the direction of the temperature gradient during cooling, which can be easily influenced in additively manufactured metal parts. In previous research, this change has been achieved by altering the scanning strategy during production. This work focuses on modifying the crystallographic structure of material X30Mn22 by varying the laser speed and power while maintaining a constant meander scanning strategy without rotation. To determine the applicable production parameters, a test of simple welds was conducted, providing a basis for future production and testing of bulk samples. The suitability of the production parameters and the microstructure achieved in the sample cross-section were evaluated using porosity on the fabricated bulk samples, and the microstructure was depicted using EBSD maps, showing significant changes in microstructure solely by altering the laser production parameters. Tensile samples were further fabricated for selected microstructure samples, and their mechanical properties were tested. The results of tensile tests showed differences between individual microstructures of 18% for yield strength and up to 10% for ultimate tensile strength. However, the most significant difference was in the achieved tensile modulus, which differed by up to 27%. The work provides fundamental insights into modifying and adjusting the structure of manganese-rich material by changing laser power and speed settings.

Influencing the surface roughness of materials created by the SLM technique and the influence of roughness on macroscopic properties
Rotter, Marek ; Havlík, Petr (referee) ; Jan, Vít (advisor)
Theses resumes the principle of SLM method and submits the most used materials for this technology and its properties. The main issue is influencing the surface roughness of these materials, when the electro-chemical polishing in the concentrated sulfuric acid was used with five difference options. It was observed, that the roughness is caused by two factors, fused nonmelted grains of metal powder and layered structure. Polishing at 8 V, 0,5 A and after 40 min was the best results, when the smooth wave surface was achieved. The Ra parameter descended from initial 5,0 m to 3,9 m after this polishing. One of the factors, which causes the high roughness, was eliminated.

Effect of layer thickness on critical angle of additively manufactured lattice structures
Nosek, Jakub ; Vrána, Radek (referee) ; Vaverka, Ondřej (advisor)
Aim of this work is to describe the effect of a layer thickness on critical angel of a lattice structures manufactured by SLM technology. The effect of layer thickness was investigated on single struts and on lattice structures made from stainless steel 316L. Better geometrical accuracy could be obtained, if the smaller layer thickness is used. Less attached powder particles on downskins was also observed on lattice structures. Thanks to this thesis, it is possible to determine, if it is meaningful to decrease the layer thickness in order to improve manufacturability of lattice structures even with higher manufacturing time.

The use of small punch tests for materials with a higher level of structural inhomogeneity
Gordiak, Michal ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Válka, Libor (advisor)
Master's thesis deals with evaluating applicability of correlation relationships between material characteristics determined by Small Punch Test and standard tensile test for material AlSi7Mg0,6 manufactured by casting and technology SLM. Results of Small Punch Tests are correlated with yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and Young's modulus of elasticity. For each material characteristic various correlation methods are compared, while for each method corresponding coefficients are determined. Consequently, the applicability of individual methods is evaluated by substituting coefficients determined by various studies. Primarily analyzed are correlation methods for which future normalization is expected. The results of master's thesis show that structural inhomogeneity caused by SLM process does not result in high inaccuracies in determining material characteristics. Larger impact on material characteristics has high porosity, which was identified in cast material and led to significant deviations in evaluating tensile strength and elongation.

Processing of Inconel 939 alloy using laser powder bed fusion at elevated temperatures
Hertl, David ; Dočekalová, Kateřina (referee) ; Malý, Martin (advisor)
The thesis deals with the problem of Inconel 939 alloy processing by SLM technology using base plate preheating. The main objective of the work is to verify the effect of base plate preheating on residual stresses. The problem was solved by two approaches: process simulation, and subsequent experimental verification. The process simulation with preheating temperature of 400 °C achieved the highest agreement with the experiment with a deviation of 4.1 %. Based on the experiment, a suitable base plate preheating temperature of 100 °C was determined to reduce the deformation and residual stresses. By processing Inconel 939 using preheating temperatures of 100 °C and 400 °C, static mechanical properties comparable to those of the standard components processed by SLM technology from Inconel 939 after the heat treatment were achieved. These results offer the potential for significant reductions in overall production time and costs associated with manufacturing Inconel 939.

Cavitation erosion mechanisms
Kotoulová, Helena ; Kozák, Jiří (referee) ; Rudolf, Pavel (advisor)
Předložená bakalářská práce se zabývá mechanismy kavitační eroze a je rozdělena na dvě hlavní části. Teoretická část popisuje princip kavitace, způsob jejího vzniku a především kolaps kavitačních bublin, který negativně ovlivňuje povrch obtékaného tělesa (např. na hydraulických strojích). Z tohoto důvodu je nutné podrobně studovat účinky kavitační eroze. Experimentální část je věnována testování kavitační eroze na kovových a plastových vzorcích vytisknutých na 3D tiskárně. Plastové vzorky byly srovnávány navzájem mezi sebou, kovové vzorky z 3D tiskárny se vzorky odlitými. O vlivu kavitační eroze na součásti vytisknuté na 3D tiskárně je stále ještě málo informací, i když se jedná o velmi progresivní a stále častěji používaný typ výroby.
