Study Guide

Objective

Student achieves basic knowledge related to the metallic materials used in additive manufacturing (AM). He/she knows mechanical and corrosion properties of powder metallurgically (PM) manufactured product. Student understands which metals can be used in AM applications and achieves basics of typical material defects and on their influence on product properties. Finally standardization of the AM materials are reviewed as well as the NDT / DT testing fundamentals.

Content

Additive manufacturing (AM) of metals, direct and indirect technologies. Inner structure, mechanical and corrosion properties of AM product. Non-alloyed steels, stainless steels, copper, nickel, cobalt alloys, Maraging steels. NDT and DT testing of AM products. Material standards.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)
