Mechanized spreading of ceramic powder layers for additive manufacturing characterized by transmission x-ray imaging: Influence of powder feedstock and spreading parameters on powder layer density

Daniel Oropeza et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the use of a precision, mechanized powder spreading testbed coupled with transmission x-ray imaging for spatially-resolved, non-contact powder layer density measurements. The influence of several variables on the spreading of aluminum oxide powders is studied, including powder size and shape, spreading tool choice, traverse speed, and powder dispensing methodology. The findings show that these factors have an impact on the layer density of the spread powder.

Experimental investigation on the spreadability of cohesive and frictional powder

Wenguang Nan et al.

Summary: This study experimentally investigates the effects of operation conditions and particle properties on the spreadability of metal powder in additive manufacturing. A measure of relative spreadability based on D-90 is proposed, and the concept of dynamic spreadability is introduced to consider the demand of high manufacturing rate. The results show that spreadability is influenced by particle detachment and re-filling process, and there is an optimal spreading speed.

Comparison of roller-spreading and blade-spreading processes in powder-bed additive manufacturing by DEM simulations

Jiangtao Zhang et al.

Summary: Roller-spreading and blade-spreading are the main powder spreading methods in powder-bed additive manufacturing, affecting particle movement trajectory and contact forces. Roller-spreading generates complicated dispersion and circulation movement inside the powder pile, while blade-spreading has relatively weak particle dispersion. Roller-spreading can achieve higher density powder bed by compacting effect.

Dynamic investigation on the powder spreading during selective laser melting additive manufacturing

Dengzhi Yao et al.

Summary: This article studied the spreading of 316L stainless steel powder during printing through 3D particulate scale dynamic simulations, identifying factors affecting powder bed quality and optimized conditions such as blade moving speed and particle size. The simulation results showed that optimal conditions lead to a more uniform and denser powder bed.

Influences of powder morphology and spreading parameters on the powder bed topography uniformity in powder bed fusion metal additive manufacturing

Andre Mussatto et al.

Summary: The study found that particle sphericity and surface texture play a crucial role in the impact of spreading velocity and layer thickness on powder bed topography. Low spreading velocities (<= 80mm/s) can achieve better uniformity in powder bed. Powders with a wide particle distribution and containing a large number of fine particles (< 25 mu m) can form uniform and dense powder beds, but they are more prone to segregation.
