Abstract

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in aeronautic industries is on increase. An example of this is the fact that most companies in the sector have started to combine additive with machining operations. The laser metal deposition (LMD) process is one of the most used AM methods together with the selective laser melting (SLM) process, but only the first one is currently capable of producing big parts. The LMD technology can work with a wide range of metals; some of them are common within the aeronautic industry, such as Titanium, Inconel 718 and Hastelloy X, among others. This technology implies big challenges due to its complexity; in order to attain good results a high number of process parameters must be controlled, like laser power, gas and powder flux, filling strategies, feed rate, to name just a few. The present research work aims to study the manufacturing and repair of turbine components, such as blisk, by LMD. To that end, a blisk is manufactured by additively building up blades on a core disk substrate. In addition, a monitoring of the temperature of the process and the height of the clad is also realized. Therefore, this work demonstrates the feasibility of manufacturing and repairing high added value parts by 5 axis LMD. Recent Publications 1.
