Papaj, Lukáš ; Suchý, Jan (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design of construction for recyclation metal powder, which is used in multi-material 3D printing with SLM technology. More specifically it is separation of mixed metal powders by magnetic separator, which is capable of separating two powders with the same distributions. Based on knowledge from industrial separators and successful experiment method of separating with magnetic drum was chosen, on which is equally driven metal powder from vibrating feeder. In executed experiment was discovered, that the method is appropriate for separating non-magnetic powder but for high quality separation of magnetic powder must be adjusted speed of feeding. Next was processed drawing documentation for this variant. By this documentation can be separator assembled and used in laboratory for separating metal powders.

The influence of heat treatment on magnetic properties of additive manufactured stainless steel components
Schäffer, Matúš ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
The aim of this master thesis is selection of heat treatment for additive manufactured multimaterial components composed of 1.4404 and 1.4542 stainless steels regarding their magnetic and mechanical properties. Individual materials were studied after fabrication and also after the same heat treatments. The chosen process consists of solution annealing and subsequent precipitation hardening. A significantly higher value of maximum relative permeability and lower of coercive field of 1.4542 steel were achieved. At the same time, the relative permeability of 1.4404 was not considerably influenced. A decrease in Rp0,2 of 1.4404, but an increase in Rm and Rp0,2 values of 1.4542 steel were observed. Elongation at break A increased in the case of both alloys. The experiments proved that multimaterial components composed of these stainless steels can be successfully manufactured by SLM technology. It is therefore possible to design and manufacture stainless steel components of magnetic circuits and adjust their magnetic and mechanical properties by heat treatment.

Lattice Topology Optimization in ANSYS software
Černák, Martin ; Vaverka, Ondřej (referee) ; Vrána, Radek (advisor)
ANSYS is one of the first commercially available software which allows to make topology optimization of lattice structures. In this bachelor’s thesis optimization workflow, calibration of numerical model, validation of numerical results and revelation of influence of basic parameters involved in computation – cell type, minimum and maximum relative density, cell size and used discretization, are showed. Optimised part was compared by means of FEM and homogenization with available experimental data. Subsequently, influence of basic parameters was evaluated. It was shown that optimized structure is stiffer than benchmark and influence of basic parameters for mechanical response and computational complexity was introduced. Simultaneously, it was shown that homogenization overestimated mechanical response. The findings of bachelor’s thesis validate computational model in program ANSYS and can be used for more effective making of optimization models.

Workability study 3D metal printing as technology for prototype plastic parts manufacturing
Kovář, Tomáš ; Herčík, Tomáš (referee) ; Sigmund, Marian (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the feasibility of metallic 3D printing. The 90MnCrV8 tool steel die is time consuming and expensive to manufacture by conventional methods. When considering the use of a die for a maximum of 50 pieces of moldings, it is possible to choose a material other than tool steel. From the offered possibilities of metal 3D printing, 2 suitable methods were selected, namely SLM and WAAM, where the WAAM method appears to be cheaper. Available materials for steel replacement 90MnCrV8 are metal wire G4Si1 for WAAM method and stainless steel X2CrNiMo17-12-2 for the SLM method. After listing all the options and evaluations, it can be seen that the feasibility of metallic 3D printing as a replacement for conventional tool production is possible.

Alloy copper processing of selective laser melting technology
Kočica, Martin ; Šafka, Jiří (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with finding copper alloy suitable for processing SLM technology and determining the process parameters leading to a relative density close to the full material. The theoretical part provides an insight into additive technology and the processing of new alloys in SLM. Work also contains a search report of processed copper alloys used in SLM. Based on the theoretical part were designed test samples and method of evaluation. Samples were produced by melting metallurgical powder using ytterbium laser with an output power 400 W. The testing is divided into three stages; Determination of the parameters of the SLM process, Debug strategies for larger parts, Geometric precision and mechanical testing. Based on the results was determined dependence of relative density on the input parameters. For the best parameters were determined geometric precision correction and mechanical properties.

Analysis of thermal behavior focused on additive manufacturing of lattice structures from AlSi10Mg
Nosek, Jakub ; Dočekalová, Kateřina (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
Using Additive manufacturing it is possible to manufacture complicated components, that cannot be manufactured using conventional methods. The typical example is the lattice structure. Fabrication of these structures is complicated, and it is different from the fabrication of bulk parts. Using numerical simulation which can reflect process parameters it is possible to analyze the thermal behaviour of vertical and inclined struts fabrication. Results show that the diameter of struts influences weld track width. This influence is caused by preheating the powder material by previous scanning paths. The final geometry of inclined struts is made in more scanning layers. In this work influence of the start and endpoint of trajectory is described.

The development of multimaterial 3D printing of metal parts by SLM technology
Pliska, Jan ; Dočekalová, Kateřina (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
This thesis deals with research and optimization of process parameters and methodology of production of multimaterial parts manufactured by SLM. This work investigates iron-based and copper-based materials. The aim of the work is to create a good-quality horizontal and vertical multimaterial interface. In the case of the horizontal interface, the optimal process parameters for the processing of selected materials, their subsequent optimization for a goodquality horizontal interface and verification of mechanical properties were experimentally determined. For the vertical interface, it was necessary to design a production methodology and further optimize the process parameters. Finally, some mechanical properties of the interface were determined. However, research of the vertical interface has been a scientific task with some degree of uncertainty, and as this area has not yet been fully explored, it has proved to be a more complex problem than previously thought. It was therefore not possible to completely clarify it in the given time and with the available means. This work provides a detailed description of the mechanisms of creating both types of interfaces and their properties and can serve as a basis for further study of multimaterial 3D printing of metals based on iron and copper.

Impact loading of lattice structures produced by Selective Laser Melting technology from magnesium alloy WE43
Foltán, Tomáš ; Červinek, Ondřej (referee) ; Jaroš, Jan (advisor)
Strut-based lattice structures manufactured with magnesium alloy WE43, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, seem like an ideal solution for biomedical and aerospace industries. Previous research has focused mainly on the behaviour of these structures under quasi-static stress conditions. Dynamic stressing of these structures has not been deeply researched. Therefore, this work deals with impact testing of strut-based lattice structures manufactured by SLM. Low-velocity impact tests were performed on a set of cell topologies with different strut diameters. Absorbed energy, stress-strain curve, and deformation mechanism of each sample were studied. Clear effect of cell topology on the amount of absorbed energy was observed, where structures of similar relative densities displayed considerably different values. Highest specific absorbed energy was achieved with the FCCZ cell. In comparison with other materials (e.g., steel) magnesium proved to be far less efficient. This was most probably caused by its brittle fracture failure mode. Conducted tests give insight into mechanical behaviour of magnesium alloy structures under dynamic compression and their ability to absorb energy. Collected data may prove useful for biomedical applications e.g., in designing bone implants.

Multi-material 3D printing of titanium and aluminium alloys
Duchoň, Matěj ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
Additive manufacturing of multi-material components is a promising way to produce parts that combine the properties of different materials. The thesis deals with the research, optimization of process parameters and methodology to produce multi-material parts using the SLM method. The aim is to create a mechanically durable interface between two materials based on titanium and aluminium. In order to determine the suitable combination of materials, a single track test was performed, which also established the initial process parameters and the effect of increased preheating temperature on the formation of defects at the material interface. This test provided the basis for the printing of bulk samples whose interfaces were analysed in detail using light microscopy, microhardness testing and EDS. Finally, the mechanical resistance of the interface was verified by tensile testing. According to the results of the single track test, titanium alloy Ti6Al4V in combination with aluminium alloy AlSi10Mg was selected. In further tests, it was found that if the preheating temperature is increased from 200 °C to 300 °C, the number of cracks at the interface is reduced by 31 %. The combination of increased preheating temperature and appropriate process parameters produced a crack-free material interface that exhibited high mechanical durability. The thesis provides a summary overview of the issues related to multi-material metal printing and the causes of individual defects that the interface of two different materials faces. The thesis may serve as a basis for further research on multi-material metal printing.
