Mechanical properties of materials prepared by SLM process
Doubrava, Marek ; Válka, Libor (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with the selection of process parameters used for manufacturing of high-strenth materials using SLM technology. The feedstock material was powder with a chemical composition according to standard DIN X3NiCoMoTi 18-9-5. Influence of change in process parameters on mechanical properties was examined by hardness tests and tensile tests. Metallographic and fractographic analysis were conducted with an aim to understand mechanisms of failure present in this type of material. Selection of optimal process parameters was based on the analysis of mechanical properties of manufactured samples. Possible future steps related to the improvement of the process were proposed. Results of this experiment were compared with literature regarding parts produced by SLM technology and conventional methods.

Process Parameters Development for Producing of Lattice Structures Using 3D Metal Printing
Moravčik, Jaroslav ; Koutný, Daniel (referee) ; Vrána, Radek (advisor)
Selective laser melting (SLM) belongs to additive technologies. Progressive adding of layers of material powder and creating the structure with laser beam allows to create components with complex shapes, for example microstructures. This thesis explores potential of new printing strategies, which could lead to good melting of printed component and reaching to better structure without porosities. Based on analysis of actual state, software for calculation of laser trajectory was made with use of new printing strategy. Also, process parameters obtained from technical articles and from experiments made on Institute of Machine and Industrial Design on Faculty of Mechanical Engineering BUT in Brno were compared. This comparison led to suggestion of test set of components with new parameters and strategies. This set could lead to new researches in this issue.

Development of WAAM process parameters for thin-walled components made of magnesium alloy AZ61
Šváb, Čeněk ; Němeček, Stanislav (referee) ; Slavíček, Jakub (advisor)
The thesis deals with the development of WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) process parameters for thin-walled parts made of magnesium alloy AZ61. The aim of the thesis is to find suitable process parameters and describe their influences on the welding process. To achieve this goal, these parameters were experimentally tested. It was found that the parameter of boost phase current and the duration of its application have the highest influence on the weld geometry. The stability of the welding process was then influenced by the electrode feed rate during the boost and burn phases. Based on these results, a final set of parameters was created, which successfully welded a thin-walled part composed of 50 layers and reaching a height of 130 mm.

Influence of Process Parameters and Heat Treatment on the Structure and Properties of Cold Spray Method
Lindner, Patrik ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Hutařová, Simona (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is a research of the state of knowledge focused on Cold spray technology and process parameters affecting the properties of coating, such as pressure, temperature, nozzle speed, sequence of individual layers, size of powder and others. This technology uses the kinetic energy of the impact of particles on the substrate. The main advantage of this method is possibility of forming a coating of large thicknesses (in millimeters) without oxides, with relatively low porosity and favourable mechanical properties. Aim of this work is to get acquainted with the Cold spray technology and the influence of process parameters on the quality of the spray. The influence of process parameters on properties is also demonstrated by own experimental results.

Design, production and characterization of the adhesive layer for the deposition of ta-C coating by the magnetron sputtering method
Drásalová, Kateřina ; Juliš, Martin (referee) ; Klakurková, Lenka (advisor)
The topic of this thesis is improving the adhesion parameters of the DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating, specifically for its non-hydrogenated form ta-C (tetra amorphous carbon), for the deposition of ta-C coating by the magnetron sputtering with a central rotating cathode method. A possible solution is the creation of a chrome adhesive layer between this coating and the substrate. Effects of the adhesive layer on the coating are controlled by change settings of a process parameters as temperature, voltage, or time of deposition. The aim of the experiment was the production of such an adhesive layer that will increase the adhesion of the ta-C coating without worsening its other properties. The resulting properties of the deposited coating were analysed using a calotest for thickness measuring, Rockwell test and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to assess adhesion and cohesion parameters, instrumented penetration tests to determine hardness and bent-strip method to calculate internal stress. By evaluating the prepared samples, depending on the resulting useful properties of the coating, the best deposition parameters were determined.

Electrospinning of polyvinylidenfluoride based fibers
Hošek, František ; Šťastný, Přemysl (referee) ; Částková, Klára (advisor)
Electrospinning is one of the rapidly developing methods for obtaining fibers of very small thickness. There is a wide-scale use of nanofibers, and it has a great potential in many fields, such as in medicine, biology, chemistry, electronics, environmental protection, energy-harvesting, and other. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) appears to be a promising material for fiber production for its excellent mechanical and chemical properties. It is a chemically inert substance, very resistant to thermal stress. The aim of this bachelor thesis is the preparation of PVDF fibers by electrospinning and the study of the influence of three different surfactants on the spinnability of PVDF, on the arrangement and the shape of fibers which are formed during electrospinning. The effect of surfactant concentration (1 wt%; 0.5 wt%; 0.25 wt%) on the spinning process at electrical voltages of 25 kV and 50 kV was studied. The theoretical part describes the properties and the division of polymers and looks at polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as a source material in more detail. Furthermore, the electrospinning method is described, including process conditions and external parameters influencing the process of obtaining fibers. The experimental part describes the preparation of samples by electrospinning and their characterization. Fiber thickness, its appearance, arrangement, and the occurrence of defects when using individual surfactants were evaluated. It was found that the used ionic surfactants affect the thickness of the fibers and their morphology. Homogeneous fibers with a predominant arrangement in one direction, without defects, were obtained.

Procedural parameters at Inconel 625 cladding
Hrádek, Jan ; Mrňa, Libor (referee) ; Kubíček, Jaroslav (advisor)
The research is focused on cladding of inconel 625 using the MAG - CMT method. It was found that welding without an oscillation does not create the necessary geometry to establish additional layers. When welding with an oscillation, it was researched that the current between 150 and 200 A appears most appropriate in the synergistic mode for welding inconel 625. The resulting weld bead was made at a current of 190 A with pulse dynamics correction set to -4 and correction of arc length to +10 and welding speed of 315 mm per minute.The weld bead was not ideal mainly due to insufficient height. The improvement of results could be achieved by set oscilation with fluent change in acceleration. Because of the time options and difficulty of programming it was used only constant speed for all experiments.

Křivohlavý, Petr ; Němeček, Stanislav (referee) ; Škaroupka, David (advisor)
This thesis is focused on creating polymer lattice struts without any necessary support in full length using robotic 3D printing. The aim of the thesis is to find suitable process parameters and printing strategies with respect to the accuracy of the polymer struts. A statistical model of effects of individual process parameters has been produced to achieve stated objectives. The model enables finding optimal process parameters. The printing strategies for thus established process parameters are tested to increase the accuracy of the finished print and the quality of the bonds between individual struts. The accuracy assessment is executed using optical 3D metrology. The maximum deviation from the nominal shape 0.54mm has been accomplished using discovered process parameters and printing strategies.
