Binder-based additive manufacturing of aluminum: development of fast and safe process parameters

EF 2022-23 · 2022-11-01

Résumé
The evolution of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies has provided new manufacturing capabilities and triggered an industrial revolution. Binder-based AM (BBAM) is an emerging technique that has the potential to significantly increase the cost-effectiveness of AM and allow greater adoption in many industrial sectors, especially in transportation. However, some technological gaps still need to be filled to achieve industrial success. The project will involve evaluating the BBAM technique for fabricating structural aluminum parts. As part of the overall project goal, NRC is collaborating with RRC Polytech to assess and predict dimensional changes occurring during the entire BBAM process cycle using the X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) non-destructive inspection technology. The project will involve the generation of 3D data on the dimensional changes and distortions occurring during the BBAM process stages and apply the data in the development of machine learning models to enable fast adaptation of the initial design. The outcome of the project will benefit manufacturers involved in AM or considering AM

Description (French)
En se perfectionnant, les techniques de fabrication additive (FA) ont multiplié les capacités de production et déclenché une véritable révolution industrielle. La FA à base de liant est une technique émergente qui pourrait accroître passablement la rentabilité de la FA et amener de nombreux secteurs industriels, principalement celui des transports, à y recourir davantage. Cependant, avant que cette technique remporte du succès dans l’industrie, divers problèmes devront être réglés. Le projet évaluera l’application de la FA à base de liant à la production de pièces structurales en aluminium. Pour atteindre l’objectif général, le CNRC collaborera avec RRC Polytech afin d’évaluer et de prédire les modifications dimensionnelles qui surviennent pendant le procédé en recourant à la méthode d’inspection non destructive qu’est la tomographie aux rayons X assistée par ordinateur. Il en résultera des données 3D sur les changements et les distorsions qui se produisent au cours des différentes étapes du procédé. Ensuite, ces données serviront à développer des modèles d’apprentissage automatique dont profiteront les constructeurs qui utilisent ou songent à utiliser la FA.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
