A novel method combining additive manufacturing and alloy infiltration for NdFeB bonded magnet fabrication

Journal Article Li, Ling ; Tirado, Angelica ; Conner, Benjamin S. ; ... April 2017 - Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials

In this paper, binder jetting additive manufacturing technique is employed to fabricate NdFeB isotropic bonded magnets, followed by an infiltration process with low-melting point eutectic alloys [i.e., Nd ₃Cu _0.25Co _0.75 (NdCuCo) and Pr ₃Cu _0.25Co _0.75 (PrCuCo)]. Densification and mechanical strength improvement are achieved for the as-printed porous part. Meanwhile, the intrinsic coercivity H _ci is enhanced from 732 to 1345 kA/m and 1233 kA/m after diffusion of NdCuCo and PrCuCo, respectively. This study presents a novel method for fabricating complex-shaped bonded magnets with promising mechanical and magnetic properties.

Highly oriented carbon fiber–polymer composites via additive manufacturing

Journal Article Tekinalp, Halil L. ; Kunc, Vlastimil ; Velez-Garcia, Gregorio M. ; ... October 2014 - Composites Science and Technology

Additive manufacturing, diverging from traditional manufacturing techniques, such as casting and machining materials, can handle complex shapes with great design flexibility without the typical waste. Although this technique has been mainly used for rapid prototyping, interest is growing in using this method to directly manufacture actual parts of complex shape. To use 3D-printing additive manufacturing in wide spread applications, the technique and the feedstock materials require improvements to meet the mechanical requirements of load-bearing components. Thus, we investigated the short fiber (0.2 mm to 0.4 mm) reinforced acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene composites as a feedstock for 3D-printing in terms of their processibility, microstructuremore »« less

Mechanical, thermal, morphological, and rheological characteristics of high performance 3D-printing lignin-based composites for additive manufacturing applications

Journal Article Nguyen, Ngoc A. ; Bowland, Christopher C. ; Naskar, Amit K. May 2018 - Data in Brief

Here, the article presents different mechanical, thermal and rheological data corresponding to the morphological formation within various renewable lignin-based composites containing acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR41, 41 mol% nitrile content), and carbon fibers (CFs). The data of 3D-printing properties and morphology of 3D-printed layers of selected lignin-based composites are revealed.

Additive manufacturing of multi-directional preforms for composites: opportunities and challenges

Journal Article Quan, Zhenzhen ; Wu, Amanda ; Keefe, Michael ; ... May 2015 - Materials Today

Current additive manufacturing methods present the potential to construct net-shape structures with complicated architectures, thus eliminating the need for multi-step processing and fasteners/joints. Combined with these features is the ability to ascribe material properties at the sub-millimeter scale, inspiring multi-material, functionally graded designs. These features make additive manufacturing an attractive option for composite materials development. In an effort to extend this family of technologies beyond nano- and micro-composites, we explore the additive manufacture of multi-directional composite preforms. This exercise has served to highlight the aspects of additive manufacturing critical to composite and general materials processing, as well as to demonstratemore »« less

Additive manufacturing of complex-shaped graded TiC/steel composites

Journal Article Levy, Asaf ; Miriyev, Aslan ; Elliott, Amy ; ... January 2017 - Materials & Design

Complex-shaped TiCx ceramic preforms with a gradient of carbon content in the titanium carbide phase (x changes from 0.7 to 0.98) were fabricated for the first time by Binder jet 3D printing technology. The complex-shaped preforms were infiltrated with molten carbon steel (0.7 wt.%C). Thermodynamic considerations showed that carbon could be transferred from titanium carbide to steel and vice versa according to the initial concentration of carbon (activity) in both phases. After infiltration, solidification and slow cooling, a microstructural gradient was obtained throughout the steel matrix from ferrite, in the region where the steel was in contact with titanium carbidemore »« less
