| Abstract Scope |
In order to achieve increased market penetration of laser-based DED, significantly greater process efficiency, consistently shorter process times and thus greatly reduced costs are required while keeping high quality. Market entry barriers can also be avoided by enabling new functionalities, e.g. simultaneous multi-material applications for composites or insitu alloying.
In this contribution, the recently developed COAXquattro multi-wire process unit will be used to realize coatings, repair purposes as well as the production of complete new parts. With the help of this wire-based DED configuration, it is possible to easily achieve coating rates in the double-digit kilogram range per hour using up to eight simultaneously added materials. It can handle up to four wires and/or four powder materials at once while resulting in a finely dispersed material distribution after deposition. In addition to latest results of different material combinations, (potential) applications will also be shown. |
