Title: Strengthening of ferrous binder jet 3D printed components through bronze infiltration

Abstract

Fully-dense, net shape objects have been fabricated from a rapidly-solidified ferrous powder using binder-jet 3D printing and molten bronze infiltration. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and differential thermal analysis were used to characterize the structural evolution of the powder feedstock during an infiltration heating cycle. Microindentation and bend tests were performed on the infiltrated material to evaluate its mechanical properties. The infiltrated material had an 11 GPa hardness and moderate damage tolerance. It was found that infiltration improved both the ductility and strength of the sintered preforms by eliminating the stress concentration at the interparticle necks.

Collaboration for the Advancement of Indirect 3D Printing Technology

Technical Report Cordero, Zachary ; Elliott, Amy M.

Amorphous powders often possess high hardness values and other useful mechanical properties. However, densifying these powders into complex shapes while retaining their unique properties is a challenge with standard processing routes. Pressureless sintering, for example, can densify intricate green parts composed of rapidly-solidified powders. But this process typically involves long exposures to elevated temperatures, during which the non-equilibrium microstructure of the powder can evolve towards lower energy configurations with inferior properties. Pressure-assisted compaction techniques, by contrast, can consolidate green parts with simple shapes while preserving the microstructure and properties of the powder feedstock. But parts made with these processes generallymore »« less

W-ZrC composites prepared by reactive melt infiltration of Zr₂Cu alloy into binder jet 3D printed WC preforms

Journal Article Mudanyi, Rina ; Cramer, Corson ; Elliott, Amy ; ... - International Journal of Refractory and Hard Metals

W-ZrC composites were successfully prepared by reactive melt infiltration (RMI) of stoichiometric and excess amounts of Zr₂Cu into sintered and un-sintered WC preforms made from binder jet 3D printing. The focus of this work was to study the conversion of reactant powders and liquid infiltrant with varying preform density and infiltrant amount by controlling the processing time to reach high conversion yield while understanding the phase composition, microstructure, and hardness. To investigate the effect of time, the reactive melt infiltration was conducted at 1400 °C for 2, 4 and 8 h in a furnace with 96% Ar - 4% H2more »« less

Binder jet printed WC infiltrated with pre-made melt of WC and Co

Journal Article Cramer, Corson L. ; Aguirre, Trevor G. ; Wieber, Natalie R. ; ... - International Journal of Refractory and Hard Metals

WC-Co was made via binder jet additive manufacturing of tungsten carbide followed by melt infiltration with a Co-WC infiltrant. The goal of the study was to achieve fully densified parts in near-net shape with minimal shrinkage while keeping the Co content low. The exact amount of infiltrant was determined in order to fully densify with minimum shrinkage based on the actual volume taken up by WC powder in the preform based on theoretical density, the bounding volume of prints after shrinkage, and the volume from the infiltrant. The eutectic nature of the infiltrant enabled melting at much lower temperature comparedmore »« less

Alumina-based filters made via binder jet 3D printing of alumina powder, colloidal silica infiltration, and sintering

Journal Article Cramer, Corson ; Armstrong, Beth L. ; Trofimov, Artem ; ... - International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology

Alumina-based, porous filter media was made via a binder jet 3D printing process consisting of an alumina powder printing step with subsequent heating, colloidal silica infiltration, drying, and sintering to consolidate particles yet retain a net open porous microstructure. The composites made were alumina-silica or alumina-mullite, where the silica sintering aid was used to densify and join the alumina particles. The resulting composite structures had open porosities in the 25–31 vol% range as measured by Archimedes density. Pressure drops were measured across the filter media at constant flow rates to compare disc shapes and complex, 3D printed filters based onmore »« less

Properties of SiC-Si made via binder jet 3D printing of SiC powder, carbon addition, and silicon melt infiltration

Journal Article Cramer, Corson ; Elliott, Amy ; Lara-Curzio, Edgar ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

Abstract We report the physical and mechanical properties of ceramic composite materials fabricated by binder jet 3D printing (BJ3DP) with silicon carbide (SiC) powders, followed by phenolic resin infiltration and pyrolysis (IP) to generate carbon, and a final reactive silicon melt infiltration step. After two phenolic resin infiltration and pyrolysis cycles; porosity was less than 2%, Young's modulus was close to 300 GPa, and the flexural strength was 517.6 ± 24.8 MPa. However, diminishing returns were obtained after more than two phenolic resin infiltration and pyrolysis cycles as surface pores in carbon were closed upon the formation of SiC, resulting in reaction choking andmore »« less
