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.

In the work is used the processing of metallic material by the method of Selective Laser Melting. The main objective is to verify and describe the influence of the individual process parameters entering the production process when processing the alloy Cu7.2Ni1.8Si1Cr with SLM. This alloy contains 90 % copper. The first theoretical part of the thesis describes so far processed copper alloys with a high content of copper using the method of Selective Laser Melting. The practical part then deals with the specification of the main process parameters, which are optimized in the next part of the work solution. On the basis of the information obtained experimental bodies have been created, which will be tested and analyzed in several steps. The work focuses on thin-walled samples, which have a perspective use in the creation of highefficiency heat exchangers. The main results that the work deals with are the relative density and mechanical properties of the material. Also, great emphasis is placed on the resulting surface quality

Valenta, Jakub ; Vaverka, Ondřej (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the study of the heat treatment of the maraging steel 1.2709 (DIN X3NiCoMoTi18-9-5). The first part of the work is survay of studies that focus on heat treatment of maraging steel made by forging or Selective laser melting technology. Based on that section, a heat treatment was designed by which the samples manufactured on ProX 300 from company 3D Systems and M2 Cusing from company Concept Laser were treated. The effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the samples was subsequently tested by tensile testing and metallographic analysis. The test results of both sets of samples were compared with each other and with the results of other studies and the impact of the described heat treatment on the material was evaluated.

Identification of fatigue damage Al alloy treated with SLM technology using acoustic emission method
Zemanová, Lucie ; Mazůrek, Ivan (referee) ; Mazal, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to study fatigue properties of EN AW-2618A aluminium alloy produced by selective laser melting (SLM). S-N diagrams of reference alloy and SLM material depending on manufacturing conditions were constructed. Reference alloy had the same chemical composition as the SLM material, but it was made by traditional technology (by extruding). While testing, acoustic emission (AE) and resonant frequency of loading was monitored. Fractographic analyses of fracture surfaces were performed. It was found, that SLM material has significantly worse fatigue performance. Fatigue properties are strongly dependent on SLM process parameters settings and precise observance of procedure. The most significant differences in cyclic degradation were found in the length of the stages of fatigue. The more homogeneous the material is, the longer the nucleation stage compared to the total lifetime is. The main source of AE in case of the reference material is plastic deformation on the tip of the crack. For SLM testing, stronger acoustic activity was recorded, because brittle fracture of the material between discontinuities, which is stronger AE source, is more frequent.
