Process parameters development for copper thin walls manufacturing via 3D printing
Klimek, Ľubomír ; Hutař, Pavel (referee) ; Paloušek, David (advisor)
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

Heat treatment of maraging steel processted by SLM
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.

Mechanical properties of Al alloy prepared by SLM process
Vitásek, Ladislav ; Štěpánek, Roman (referee) ; Pantělejev, Libor (advisor)
The master's thesis deals with properties of aluminium alloys prepared by SLM process. The teoretical part of thesis is focused on decribtion of selective laser melting technology, metallurgical defects and mechanical properties of aluminium alloys processed by this technology. The experimental part of this thesis deals with selections of the SLM process parameters suitable for samples preparation in bulk. Tensile testing at room temperature was used for evaluation of basic mechanical properties. Metallographic and fractographic analyses were performed for evaluation of the microstructure and fracture mechanisms. The materials characteristics obtained on SLM samples were compared with the properties of the same materials grade produced by conventional technologies.

Processing of Al-Sc aluminum alloy using SLM technology
Skulina, Daniel ; Náhlík, Luboš (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
Master's thesis deals with the experimental determination of process parameters reaching densities >99 % for scandium modified aluminium alloy (Scalmalloy®) processed by SLM. The alloy achieves higher mechanical properties than the AlSi10Mg aluminum alloy commonly used. The theoretical part deals mainly with the results of Scalmalloy® alloys. Experimental bodies, testing methodology and evaluation method were designed on the basis of the theoretical parts,. The practical part is divided into four main stages: experimental determination of process parameters, a description of the effect of the parameters used on the relative density achieved, examination of the influence of process parameters on surface quality and mechanical testing. The mechanical properties were determined for the best parameters.

Optimization of SLM process for manufacturing of assault rifle muzzle device
Kubrický, Jakub ; Majzlík, Pavel (referee) ; Vtípil, Jaroslav (advisor)
The thesis deals with optimization of the manufacturing process of the muzzle device designed for assault rifle. The most common titanium alloy named Ti-6Al-4V was chosen for this task. The introduction summarizes previously existing types of muzzle devices and further describes the SLM technology with a special focus on titanium alloys processing. The optimization methods and their follow-up testing were designed according to theoretical knowledge that is summarized in the theoretical part of this work. Firstly, the aim was to describe the optimization of the manufacturing process with attention to preserving the relative density of the parts. Secondly, the mechanical properties of the parts that underwent different heat treatment were tested.The obtained data were then used to design and manufacture a muzzle device that underwent further testing in real condition afterwards.

Analysis of SLM production accuracy of sipes for tire molds
Tomeš, Jan ; Rapant, Martin (referee) ; Koutný, Daniel (advisor)
The first part of the diploma thesis is focused on the analysis and evaluation of the current production of sipes by two SLM devices PXL and M2 Cusing, produced by Phenix Systems and Concept Laser companies. The samples of both machines went through the same manufacturing process and the same process of measurement and evaluation, in order to carry out comparison between individual machines. Geometric accuracy, surface roughness, mechanical properties, and material structure of the samples have been compared. For the sipes it was necessary to create a digital evaluation methodology of geometry. In the second part of the thesis, process parameters are selected on the basis of research and further their influence on surface roughness of manufactured sipes is analyzed.

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.
