15´ webinar - How to measure the internal stress in an AM part

Additive Manufacturing (AM) simplifies the production of complex, material-efficient and lighter parts, optimises flow applications and makes freedom of form possible. At Sirris, we not only bridge the gap between technology and industry and guide you through every step in AM, but we can also help you with the quality of your AM process or product.

Sirris can help you to guarantee the quality of your AM process or product, by:

• Identifying the variables to be controlled to guarantee the quality of your product throughout the AM value chain, including heat  treatment step.
• Helping to exploit the available data for the purpose of traceability, understanding drifts and their prediction.
• Supporting your quality process with our AM oriented laboratories: Materials Characterisation - thermal analysis & powder properties, Heat treatment lab, Metrology lab.

To get you acquainted with these possibilities, our services and (new) equipment, Sirris organises this new series of short webinars, consisting of a brief introduction, concrete workshop videos, showing examples and case studies, to end with an open questions and answers session with our experts.

In our third webinar we focus on how to measure internal stress in AM parts and how to remedy this issue. The additive process by direct way, such as LPBF-LB (SLM), LPBF-EB (EBM) or the DED families, implies an important level of internal stress in the parts at the machine output. Being able to measure this state in the actual parts is useful information, in order to better orient the stress-relieving treatment to be applied on these parts. During this webinar Sirris will give you an overview on how to measure and use these data to improve the required post treatments.

What to expect? Be prepared for a 15-minute presentation, a 5-minute video and ca. 10 minutes of open discussion.

Interested in the bigger picture? During our masterclass ‘Integrating additive manufacturing in your business’ on 16 March 2023, we offer you a complete overview of the current trends in AM, both in terms of products and techniques. We also give you the keys to understand the different families as well as their strengths and weaknesses. Register now!
