Process optimisation of PA11 in fiber-laser powder-bed fusion through loading of an optical absorber
Abstract
Industrial laser processing is rapidly shifting towards fiber lasers with wavelengths between 780nm and 2200nm. This can be largely contributed to the excellent beam properties and, ease of operation. However, for Additive Manufacturing of polymers, CO<sub>2</sub> lasers at wavelengths of 10,6μm are predominantly used. CO<sub>2</sub> lasers provide unmatched energy absorption by the C-H bonds of Polyamide (PA). To remedy this, the current study investigates using a high-power fiber laser (1080nm) for consolidating PA11 mixed with a black optical absorber. Several compositions are produced by mixing commercially available white and black powder. Aiming at finding the optimum optical absorber loading and the corresponding process parameters, allowing the highest possible component fidelity, while achieving the lightest hue of grey possible to allow for later colouring. The experiment is conducted on an in-house developed Open Architecture Laser Powder-BedFusion system. The parts are examined through, surface roughness, and mechanical characterisation.
