Layer Thickness Inhomogeneity
Layer thickness inhomogeneity is an uneven distribution of powder or deposited layers on the build platform, leading to local overheating and incomplete bonding. This impairs the geometric precision and integrity of the part.
Physikalisch-chemischer Wirkmechanismus
Layer thickness inhomogeneity results from uneven distribution of powder or deposited layers on the build platform. Local overheating and incomplete bonding lead to different stress distributions and thermal expansions, which impair the structure of the part.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
These inhomogeneities can lead to local cracks, incomplete weld areas, and distortion. The geometric precision of the part is compromised, which can lead to functional issues or safety problems.
Werkstattpraxis & Handlungsanweisungen
To avoid layer thickness inhomogeneities, ensure even distribution of powder or deposited layers. Use a flat, smooth build platform material and control bonding pressures precisely. Regular inspection and adjustment of the welding equipment is essential.
