A novel preparing method of polymer-coated molybdenum powder was presented. A type of multi-component polymer-coated molybdenum powder was chosen for selective laser sintering. The effect of the process parameters on the part’s characteristics is investigated. Based on our study for dynamic laser sintering process of polymer-coated molybdenum powder, its laser sintering mechanism was reported a...

The laser sintering process of multi-component powder W/Cu is simulated by ANSYS software based on the factors of radiation, convection and thermal physical parameters on temperature. The laser power and scanning velocity which are the key process parameters to affect directly in sintering molding are studied in paper. The results show that when the scanning velocity is constant, the sintering ...

In Direct Metal Laser Sintering objects are created by sequential sintering loose metal powder particles by means of laser technology. When the laser sintering process involves temperature gradients, thermal stresses develop. Corresponding residual stresses induce warping of the densified structure leading to unacceptable tolerance losses. This paper examines the role of laser beam scan pattern...

This paper investigates fabrication of functional thick metal films using simultaneous laser sintering and patterning along with the fundamental physical phenomena that govern the laser sintering process. The effects of the processing parameters on the quality of the fabricated components are investigated through a heat transfer analysis. We show that our process has potentials for metallizatio...

In this contribution we discuss the sintering of an inkjet-printed copper nanoparticle ink based on electrical performance and microstructure analysis. Laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) sintering are employed in order to compare the different techniques and their feasibility for electronics manufacturing. A conductivity of more than 20% of that of bulk copper material has been obtained with ...

To gain a better understanding and control of the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process, more fundamental and modeling work is needed. A simple analytical ray-tracing model has been developed to simulate the energy absorption and penetration in SLS. The model is applied to FeCu and WC-Co powder mixtures, irradiated by Nd-YAG or CO2 laser. It gives an evaluation of the total energy incoupling ...

optimization of process parameter is one of the ideal goals in laser sintering. the results of this process were measured as output parameters like: density, micro hardening, macro hardening, tension, roughness, stiffness, balling. in this paper, the influence of input parameter such as laser power, scan speed, material powder and etc are surveyed on output parameter like balling affection and ...

A computer model for the sintering of ceramic/polymer composite materials has been established based on empirical sintering rate data. The model calculates sintering depths which result from variations in the operating parameters which include laser power, beam speed, scan spacing, scan vector length, and initial temperatures of the powder and surroundings. Sintering depths measured in multiple...

The presented macroscopic FE-model allows to analyze the thermal fields and the resulting stress built up during Selective Laser Sintering. Process and material parameters are focused on Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS). The FE-model is introduced and the assumptions for the model are given. Three different geometric models are discussed. The 3Dmodel shows the sintering of a single line, whe...
