Mechanical Behaviour of 3D Printed Parts with Continuous Steel Wire Reinforcement

Abstract

Parts in every type of geometric shapes can be produced thanks to today’s popular technology 3D printers. The low strength characteristics of the produced parts prevent them from being fully widespread in daily life. There are previous studies regarding the addition of carbon fiber into the phase structure to increase the strength. In this study, as a new idea, reinforcement in the form of continuous steel wire was made into the phase structure. A new extruder design was adopted in order for both the phase structure and the reinforcing wire to create the printing at the same time. Research on the phase material, steel wire material and production pattern were made for the desired strength increase and printing quality. According to the test results, the production with steel wire-reinforced polymer Nylon material provided an approximately 7.76 times higher strength increase compared to the non-reinforced polymer Nylon material.

Sürekli Çelik Tel Takviyeli 3B Baskılı Parçaların Mekanik Davranışı

Abstract

Günümüzün popüler teknolojisi 3D yazıcılar ile her türlü geometrik şekle sahip parçalar üretilebilmektedir. Üretilen bu parçaların, mukavemet özelliklerinin düşük olması, günlük yaşamda tam olarak yaygınlaşmasını engellemektedir. Mukavemeti artırmak için faz yapı içerisine karbon fiber eklenmesi şeklinde daha önce yapılan çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ise yeni bir fikir olarak faz yapı içerisine sürekli çelik tel şeklinde takviye yapılmıştır. Hem faz yapının hem takviye telinin aynı anda baskıyı oluşturması için yeni bir extruder tasarımına geçilmiştir. İstenilen mukavemet artışı ve baskı kalitesi için uygun faz malzemesi, çelik tel malzemesi ve üretim deseni araştırmaları yapılmıştır. Yapılan testler sonucunda takviyesiz polimer naylon malzemeye göre, çelik tel takviyeli polimer naylon malzeme ile yapılan üretim, yaklaşık 5,58 kat daha yüksek bir mukavemet artışını sağlamıştır.
