Design of oxygen filter for 3D metal printer
Ondra, Martin ; Paloušek, David (referee) ; Suchý, Jan (advisor)
In medical branches alloys on the basis of titanium are commonly used, however, in some of the medical applications it emerged that the usage of alloys on the basis of magnesium is more convenient, for example in orthopaedic surgery for the implant fabrication. Managing of processing of magnesium using the technology Selective Laser Melting would enable to produce complex structures supporting the production of cells and recovery of bones. One of the problems when processing the alloys on the basis of magnesium is the production of residual oxygen. This problem can be solved with the usage of an oxygen filter that is integrated in the circuit of inert atmosphere. This bachelor´s work deals with the construction of this filter for 3D metal printer SLM Solutions 280HL v1.0. This device enables to filter up to 123 m3/h of the gas with the output purity 100 ppt (1,0 × 10-8 %). The device separates oxygen continuously during the whole manufacturing process. The construction of the device enables the attachment to other SLM Solutions company machines.

Microstructural stability of materials prepared by aditive manufacturing methods
Hyspecký, Michal ; Pantělejev, Libor (referee) ; Štěpánek, Roman (advisor)
This work deals with the microstructural thermal stability of material 2618 produced by the Selective Laser Melting metho - SLM. Microstructural stability is compared with the stability of material produced by conventional methods. Stability itself is evaluated by changes of microstructure and microhardness. The main finding is that the sample produced by SLM method reached a microhardness of 125 HV 0.3 and after sixteen hours of annealing at 200 °C a decrease of only a few units to 120 HV 0.3 was recorded. Based on the data obtained, it was concluded that the sample produced by SLM method is structurally stable, as it did not occur any significant changes in the microstructure or in the observed mechanical properties. As a result, components produced by SLM method become usable in operation in places with an elevated temperature up to 200 °C (with a given choice of criteria).

Mechanical properties of materials prepared by SLM process
Vašáková, Kristýna ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with properties of multi-materials interface composed of pure iron and Cu7Ni2Si1Cr alloy produced by SLM process. The theoretical part of thesis is focused on selective laser melting technology, and on description of defects connected with the production of SLM parts. Furthermore, one section deals with the production of multi-materials prepared by the SLM process. The experimental part of this thesis deals with selections of the SLM process parameters appropriate for bulk samples preparation. Mechanical properties were determined by the tensile tests at room temperature. Metallographic and fractographic analyses were performed for evaluation of the microstructure and description of the fracture mechanisms.

Nopová, Klára ; Štěpánek, Roman (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
The final thesis determined the properties of alloys formed from mixtures of powders processed by the SLM method. Powders of alloy AlSi12 and EN AW 2618 were fused in the proportion 75 wt. % AlSi12 + 25 wt. % 2618, 50 wt. % AlSi12 + 50 wt. % 2618 and 25 wt. % AlSi12 + 75 wt. % 2618. Metallographic analysis, EBSD analysis and line EDS microanalysis were made on the samples. Tensile test at room temperature and hardness were carried out to determine the mechanical properties. Fractographic analysis was performed after tensile test.

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.

Design of recoating system for processing of two metal powders using 3D Printing
Guráň, Radoslav ; Němeček, Stanislav (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
The thesis deals with the design, construction and testing of two different metal powder coating equipment, which is able to work with SLM 280HL metal 3D printer. Since the field of multimaterial metal printing by selective laser melting (SLM) has not been significantly investigated yet, an overview of existing patents and possible approaches to the solution has been developed. The device has been successfully designed and a series of tests was carried out defining the issue of applying an improved head that uses a nozzle and an eccentric vibration motor. Based on the experiments performed, the coating parameters of the multimaterial layer of FeAm and 316L materials were defined. A control system for the partial process automation was created for the proposed device. The device was implemented in a printer that demonstrated both the ability to apply a single multimaterial layer of at least 50 m thickness, and the ability to produce a 3D multimaterial component comprised of up to 200 layers and containing material change across all axes.

Numerical model of lattice structure under dynamic loading made by Selective Laser Melting technology
Červinek, Ondřej ; Maňas, Pavel (referee) ; Vrána, Radek (advisor)
For the purpose of mechanical impact energy absorption in the transport industry are mainly used special profile absorbers. For highly specialized applications is required to use components that are designed for specific kind of deformation. Example of these parts are industrial-made metal foams or micro-lattice structures produced by SLM technology. This paper focuses on low-velocity dynamic loading prediction of BCC micro-lattice structure made of aluminum alloy AlSi10Mg by SLM technology (SLM 280HL). For this purpose dynamic FEM simulaton of the micro-lattice structure was developed, supplemented by model of BCC structure material obtained from mechanical testing. Real geometry of tested samples obtained from optical measurement (Atos Triple Scan III) was further implemented in the numerical model. Dynamic BCC structure load experiment was performed on a drop-weight tester. Behavior of structured material in drop-weight test was described by the course of deformation and reaction forces over time. Comparable results were obtained for flat loading of dynamic FEM simulation and experiment. Inclusion of production phenomena in simulation led to increased accuracy and compliance with experiment. Tool for testing the effect of geometry change on mechanical properties was created. To achieve more accurate results with puncture load, it is necessary to modify the material model with real material deformation at test sample failure.
