Abstract
The objective of this research is to compare the microstructure and mechanical behavior of 3D printed SS 316L using near net shaped and fully embedded manufacturing extraction techniques. Research findings will allow us to determine if two different manufacturing extraction methodologies of a 3D printed stainless steel part will affect the overall performance of test specimens. Research will implement advanced manufacturing, part designing, part modeling, part simulation, part production, CT X-ray scanning, material characterization, and material testing. Printing of test specimens will be done with a Optomec Lens 3D Hybrid Machine Tool Direct Energy Deposition (DED) metal printer. The DED metal printer will be used for prototype printing and printing test samples. The areas of study will also include modeling and design using SolidWorks CAD software. A comparison of printing orientation/configuration, internal composition, and testing of material structure in the areas of stress to complete failure of test specimens. The internal structure analysis will observe the porosity effects of 3D metal printing with near net shaped and cocoon style print parameters. The study will also address the amount of time, production, strength, composition, and overall performance of SS 316L printed material.
