The Group Additive Manufacturing (AM) is concerned with innovative methods of powder- and beam-based AM, the further development of AM processes and the development of special AM alloys. The focus is on selective electron beam melting (SEBM), selective laser melting (SLM) and laser metal deposition (LMD).
Various Arcam electron beam machines for powder bed based additive manufacturing are available. In addition, there is a new in-house developed electron beam machine (Athene) equipped with a 6 kW electron beam gun. The vacuum-based electron beam technology allows building temperatures over 1000 ° C. These process conditions enable the processing of high performance materials such as intermetallic alloys or superalloys.

Cellular structures represent a promising alternative to classical randomly packed bed reactors owing to their very good heat transport characteristics. A key challenge of using cellular structures as catalyst carriers in tubular reactors is the contact of the structure with the tube wall, which in many cases is not sufficient and thus downgrades the overall heat transfer performance. Especially with strongly exo- or endothermic reactions, this inhibition of heat transfer leads to undesirable te…

This sub-project aims to automate the development of process strategies for selective electron beam melting. The integration of the innovative electron optics in the process cycle allows an in situ quality control and in combination with the findings from the first funding periods, the active control of the process. Finally, a self-learning system should be able to manufacture arbitrary parts of even novel alloys by a process database optimization.

Raney-copper is a catalyst made from a copper base alloy containing at least one less noble element than copper (e.g. zinc). After fabricating the base material via a casting process consisting of a melt and a quenching step the alloy can be converted into a nanoporous and catalytically active structure using an alkaline solution. During this project a Raney-copper type alloy will be processed using the selective electron beam melting process (SEBM). The main goal of this project is to utilize t…

Commercial available EBSM machines show strong limitations with respect to the beam power, beam quality and beam control. To overcome these limitations, the electron gun and control system of an Arcam S12 System was renewed. The resulting machine is equipped with a 6 kW electron beam gun and a backscattering electron detector for process monitoring. This is the first electron beam AM machine where the electron beam serves for both, processing and analyzing.
