The additive manufacturing of parts made from difficult-to-weld materials through the usage of preheating temperatures of up to Î0 ⤠500 °C is enabled by newest L-PBF machine tools, such as the RenAM 500Q HT from the company RENISHAW PLC, Wottun-under-Edge, UK. This work aims to delevop processing parameters for the dense and crack-free manufacturing of tungsten-carbide cobalt (WC-Co) via this off-the-shelf machine tool. Therefore the laserpower and scanning speed were varied between 80 W ⤠PL ⤠350 W and 140 mm/s ⤠vS ⤠650 mm/s respectively. Furthermore the influence of a continuous and pulsed laser mode was analysed. A focus was set on the identification of parameters that enable a highly productive manufacturing while maintaining a high part density. A parameter set for relative density rel. > 94 % and a buildup rate v = 0.59 mm3/s was developed.

Die Additive Fertigung ist ein wichtiger Teil in der zukünftigen Bauteilproduktion. Das Fraunhofer IPK aus Berlin betrachtet diesbezüglich die gesamte Prozesskette, um diese Technologien erfolgreich in den Produktionsablauf zu integrieren. Der Mehrwert für den Kunden steht dabei im Vordergrund von Forschung und Entwicklung.
