Definitions
- the present application relates to surface treatments for direct metal laser sintered materials and the like and, more particularly, to braze claddings for direct metal laser sintered materials.
- Rapid prototyping techniques such as direct metal laser sintering (“DMLS”), have been used to rapidly prototype and manufacture various mechanical parts, such as fuel nozzles and fuel circuits for aircraft engines. Rapid prototyping techniques typically operate by depositing multiple layers of material, thereby incrementally (i.e., in layers) forming the overall part. Each layer may be about 5 to about 100 ⁇ m thick, depending on the technique used and the type of material being deposited.
- DMLS direct metal laser sintering
- the DMLS process has been used to form metallic parts using a laser sintering process.
- the DMLS process precisely deposits metal powders in thin layers and the deposited powders are sintered by the laser, thereby forming a generally rigid layer.
- the metal powders may be steel-based powders, bronze-based powders or the like.
- direct metal laser sintered materials often are porous and include crevices, ridges, interconnected channels and other surface defects.
- the channels may potentially give rise to leaks (e.g., fuel leaks) and the surface defects may provide locations where particles and debris may be deposited, thereby obstructing fluid flow and/or causing turbulent flow.
- surface defects may increase the tendency for coke formation in fuel circuits formed from direct metal laser sintered materials.
- direct metal laser sintered materials may be used in highly corrosive environments (e.g., as fuel nozzles in direct contact with fuel) and therefore may be subjected to chemical degradation.
- a direct metal laser sintered material includes a substrate formed from a laser sintering process, the substrate having at least one surface, and a cladding material brazed onto at least a portion of the surface.
- a method for treating a surface of a laser sintered material includes the steps of applying a cladding material to at least a portion of the surface of the laser sintered material and heating the cladding material such that the cladding material melts and wets the surface.
- a direct metal laser sintered material in another aspect, includes a substrate formed by laser sintering a steel-based powder and a gold/nickel alloy cladding material brazed onto at least a portion of the substrate.
- FIG. 1 is a photograph of the longitudinal cross section of a direct metal laser sintered material having an untreated outer (i.e., top) surface and an inner (i.e., bottom) surface treated according to an aspect of the present invention.
- direct metal laser sintered material refers to any material, device, part or component subjected to, formed from or formed during a laser sintering process.
- the direct metal laser sintered material includes generally non-shrinking metal powders sintered by a laser.
- the direct metal laser sintered material includes a bronze-based matrix including Ni, a steel-based matrix including Ni or a steel alloy containing Cr, Ni, Mo, Si, V and/or C.
- direct metal laser sintered materials may include DirectSteel 50, DirectSteel 20, DirectSteel H20, DirectMetal 50 and DirectMetal 20. DirectSteel and DirectMetal are registered trademarks of EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems.
- a cladding material may be applied to the surface of a direct metal laser sintered material and brazed at the appropriate temperature for the appropriate time, thereby allowing the cladding material to melt, flow and wet the surface of the direct metal laser sintered material.
- the cladding material may flow through and fills the crevices, ridges, interconnected channels and/or other surface defects of the direct metal laser sintered material, leaving a generally smooth and/or more corrosion resistant surface.
- the composition of the cladding material may be selected such that the cladding material is corrosion resistant.
- corrosion resistance may be achieved by using a cladding material having a high gold (or other precious metal) content.
- the composition of the cladding material may be selected such that the cladding material is ductile, thereby preventing cracking during thermal cycling.
- ductility may be achieved by using a cladding material having a high copper content.
- the composition of the cladding material may be selected such that the cladding material has improved wettability. For example, wettability may be increased by increasing the nickel content of the cladding material.
- the cladding material according to an aspect of the present invention may be any material capable of melting, flowing and wetting the surface of direct metal laser sintered materials.
- the cladding material may include silver alloys.
- the cladding material may include nickel alloys.

Abstract
Description
- The present application relates to surface treatments for direct metal laser sintered materials and the like and, more particularly, to braze claddings for direct metal laser sintered materials.
- Rapid prototyping techniques, such as direct metal laser sintering (“DMLS”), have been used to rapidly prototype and manufacture various mechanical parts, such as fuel nozzles and fuel circuits for aircraft engines. Rapid prototyping techniques typically operate by depositing multiple layers of material, thereby incrementally (i.e., in layers) forming the overall part. Each layer may be about 5 to about 100 μm thick, depending on the technique used and the type of material being deposited.
- The DMLS process has been used to form metallic parts using a laser sintering process. In particular, the DMLS process precisely deposits metal powders in thin layers and the deposited powders are sintered by the laser, thereby forming a generally rigid layer. The metal powders may be steel-based powders, bronze-based powders or the like.
- Despite the advantages (e.g., prototyping time savings) achieved by the DMLS process, direct metal laser sintered materials often are porous and include crevices, ridges, interconnected channels and other surface defects. The channels may potentially give rise to leaks (e.g., fuel leaks) and the surface defects may provide locations where particles and debris may be deposited, thereby obstructing fluid flow and/or causing turbulent flow. For example, surface defects may increase the tendency for coke formation in fuel circuits formed from direct metal laser sintered materials. Furthermore, direct metal laser sintered materials may be used in highly corrosive environments (e.g., as fuel nozzles in direct contact with fuel) and therefore may be subjected to chemical degradation.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a system and method for treating the surface of direct metal laser sintered materials to improve corrosion resistance and reduce surface defects.
- In one aspect, a direct metal laser sintered material is provided, wherein the direct metal laser sintered material includes a substrate formed from a laser sintering process, the substrate having at least one surface, and a cladding material brazed onto at least a portion of the surface.
- In another aspect, a method for treating a surface of a laser sintered material is provided. The method includes the steps of applying a cladding material to at least a portion of the surface of the laser sintered material and heating the cladding material such that the cladding material melts and wets the surface.
- In another aspect, a direct metal laser sintered material is provided, wherein the direct metal laser sintered material includes a substrate formed by laser sintering a steel-based powder and a gold/nickel alloy cladding material brazed onto at least a portion of the substrate.
- Other aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the appended claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a photograph of the longitudinal cross section of a direct metal laser sintered material having an untreated outer (i.e., top) surface and an inner (i.e., bottom) surface treated according to an aspect of the present invention. - As used herein, “direct metal laser sintered material” refers to any material, device, part or component subjected to, formed from or formed during a laser sintering process. In one aspect, the direct metal laser sintered material includes generally non-shrinking metal powders sintered by a laser. In another aspect, the direct metal laser sintered material includes a bronze-based matrix including Ni, a steel-based matrix including Ni or a steel alloy containing Cr, Ni, Mo, Si, V and/or C. For example, direct metal laser sintered materials may include DirectSteel 50, DirectSteel 20, DirectSteel H20, DirectMetal 50 and DirectMetal 20. DirectSteel and DirectMetal are registered trademarks of EOS GmbH Electro Optical Systems.
- According to one aspect of the present invention, a cladding material may be applied to the surface of a direct metal laser sintered material and brazed at the appropriate temperature for the appropriate time, thereby allowing the cladding material to melt, flow and wet the surface of the direct metal laser sintered material. As the cladding material wets the surface of the material, the cladding material may flow through and fills the crevices, ridges, interconnected channels and/or other surface defects of the direct metal laser sintered material, leaving a generally smooth and/or more corrosion resistant surface.
- In another aspect, the composition of the cladding material may be selected such that the cladding material is corrosion resistant. For example, corrosion resistance may be achieved by using a cladding material having a high gold (or other precious metal) content. In another aspect, the composition of the cladding material may be selected such that the cladding material is ductile, thereby preventing cracking during thermal cycling. For example, ductility may be achieved by using a cladding material having a high copper content. In another aspect, the composition of the cladding material may be selected such that the cladding material has improved wettability. For example, wettability may be increased by increasing the nickel content of the cladding material.

Furthermore, the compositions may be selected such that the cladding materials provides improved corrosion resistance, ductility and/or durability.
- The cladding material may be applied to the direct metal laser sintered material in powdered form. Alternatively, the cladding material may be a paste, a wire, a film (e.g., a layered or laminated film) or the like.

- Accordingly, capillary forces created by the crevices and other surface defects of the direct metal laser sintered material may cause the molten cladding material to wet and generally evenly distribute across the surface of the material. Therefore, complete coverage of various regular and irregular surfaces having various geometric configurations (e.g., the internal passage of a fuel nozzle) may be obtained.

The bottom surface was coated with about 1.4 grams of AMS 4787 (i.e., a braze powder including about 82 wt % gold and about 18 wt % nickel), which is generally corrosion resistant. The substrate and braze powder were brazed at about 1850° F. for about 10 minutes. A photograph of the substrate after brazing is provided at

The resulting substrate had a smooth and treated finish.
- Accordingly, the surface of direct metal laser sintered materials, including the surface of hard-to-reach internal passages, may be treated to increase corrosion resistance and durability and to reduce or eliminate surface defects by treating the surface of the materials with appropriate cladding materials.
- At this point, those skilled in the art will appreciate that channels (e.g., the internal channels of fuel nozzles) having surfaces treated as described above may provide improved, laminar fluid flow with a reduced likelihood for leaks.
