3D metal printing
Vrána, Pavel ; Herčík, Tomáš (referee) ; Řiháček, Jan (advisor)
The work presents a literature search of current technologies for 3D metal printing. In the introduction, the individual methods are divided according to the forms of material into powder, wire, and string. The methods using metal powder are SLS, EBM, and DED. Other methods are ADAM, PMD, and WAAM. For each technology are described the principle, printable materials, usage, and example of the product. For methods using electric arc are described possible metal transfers and their limitations.

Cobalt alloys and their weld ability
Herčík, Tomáš ; Mrňa, Libor (referee) ; Sigmund, Marian (advisor)
The bachelor thesis is focused on the evaluation of the current state of use of cobalt and cobalt alloys. Due to its shortage and the growing need for precious metal for the production of Li-on batteries, its price, which is now almost at silver prices, is also rising. Some countries even described it as critical and they have bought it in large quantities. From 2020, it is expected that all cobalt will be reserved for the automotive industry, where the use of cobalt in batteries increases their capacity. It is therefore time to look for ways in which precious metal is economised in existing applications. This also includes welding. Of the existing welding technologies, laser welding looks to be the best. In this case no additional material is needed which reduces the need for cobalt. This technology was verified in the experimental part and evaluated by destructive tests (microhardness, microstructure, macrostructure).

Weldability of cobalt alloys by hybrid method Laser-TIG
Herčík, Tomáš ; Mrňa, Libor (referee) ; Sigmund, Marian (advisor)
The master thesis summarizes the critical situation of the lack of a cobalt used in different industry branches. Due to its increasing price, it will not be possible to use in existing applications. One of these applications is production of cobalt alloys where the replacement of this element is impossible. This type of material keeps mechanical properties at high temperature. However, a suitable choice of technology can achieve at least its savings. In the field of welding, the alloys are joined without any use of an additional material. The possible solution could be the use of hybrid technologies or electron beam. Verification of weldability of both methods was realised in experimental parts and evaluated by destructive methods. The investigation was performed on wear resistant alloy Stellite 6B.

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.

Plasma cutting of high strength steels
Šmak, Martin ; Herčík, Tomáš (referee) ; Kubíček, Jaroslav (advisor)
Cutting of steel is one of the fundamental operations within steel processing and steel product manufacturing. The cutting of high-strength steels represents a significant technological problem since the application of many methods produces an extensive amount of heat that is introduced into the material. The heat may significantly impact the mechanical properties of the steel. The thesis is focused on the application of the method of plasma cutting on high-strength steels. In the theoretical part of the present thesis, the common methods of cutting of steel and the plasma cutting technology are described. The parameters influencing the process of plasma cutting and their impact on the quality of the section are discussed. Furthermore, the concept of a heat-affected zone in the context of the plasma cutting method is concerned. The experimental part deals with the influence of plasma cutting on the hardness of certain types of high-strength steels. Three types of high-strength steels were used for the experiments: ARMOX 500 T, STRENX 650 MC E, and XAR®450. The sections were performed with two different cutting speeds. The size of the heat-affected zone and the hardness in the different areas of the section were evaluated. The results show that the plasma cutting is suitable for cutting of high-strength steels if appropriate parameters are selected. The influence of this method on the mechanical properties of certain high-strength steels is shown and discussed.
