Possible Applications of Additive Manufacturing Technologies in Shipbuilding: A Review

Abstract: 3D printing conquers new branches of production due to becoming a more reliable and professional method of manufacturing. The benefits of additive manufacturing such as part optimization, weight reduction, and ease of prototyping were factors accelerating the popularity of 3D printing. Additive manufacturing has found its niches, inter alia, in automotive, aerospace and dentistry. Although further research in those branches is still required, in some specific applications, additive manufacturing (AM) can be beneficial. It has been proven that additively manufactured parts have the potential to out perform the conventionally manufactured parts due to their mechanical properties; however, they must be designed for specific 3D printing technology, taking into account its limitations. The maritime industry has a long-standing tradition and is based on old, reliable techniques; therefore it implements new solutions very carefully. Besides, shipbuilding has to face very high classification requirements that force the use of technologies that guarantee repeatability and high quality. This paper provides information about current R&D works in the field of implementing AM in shipbuilding, possible benefits, opportunities and threats of implementation.

Effect of the Unit Pressure on the Selection Parameters of Intermetallic Coatings NiAl and Ni3Al after Plastic Working

Abstract: Modern materials on intermetallic matrix are in the scope of research of many scientific – research centers in Poland [1]. Intermetallic systematic alloys containing aluminium have high resistance to oxidation, abrasive corrosion and fatigue as well as heat resistance. That is why they are applied in the production of machine parts used in hard service conditions (internal combustion turbine blades, exhaust valves, turbo-blower rotors) [2]. Intermetallic coatings can be obtained by means of plasma spraying. Thermal spraying technology is widely used due to the possibility of increasing the service properties in surface layers (strength property, tribological, anti-corrosive and decorative property) as well as coating application on machine parts elements, on tools for plastic working (forging moulds busters, piston rods, gear wheels teeth, crank journals, valve seats, and combustion engine cylinders) [3, 4]. NiAl and Ni3Al coatings are characterized by high fatigue resistance, heat resistance and considerable corrosion resistance [5]. Coatings obtained by thermal spraying have high surface roughness. Thus, subsequent plastic treatment is advisable for plasma-sprayed intermetallic coatings. Therefore it is vital to define to what extent the change of unit pressure will influence reduction of surface roughness of intermetallic coatings. For this purpose experimental upsetting research was carried out on C45 steel samples having NiAl and Ni3Al coatings for the following unit pressures p = 500 MPa, p = 800 MPa, p = 1100 MPa.

The Effect of the Ceramic Dispersion on the Nickel Matrix Composite Coating Properties after Plastic Working

Abstract: The paper presents the effect of dispersion phase of Al2O3 on selected potential properties of composite coatings on the nickel base. Coatings of Ni-Al-Al2O3 were applied on the steel specimens using the subsonic process of flame spraying. The specimens were then subjected to both cold and hot plastic working by rolling and also cold pressing by the hydraulic press. Plastic working is an alternative to machining, as the method of finishing of coats applied by flame spraying. The paper presents the findings of the research into the possibility of using plastic working (hot and cold rolling and pressing) to obtain the selected properties of the flame sprayed Ni-Al alloy coatings and Ni-Al-Al2O3 composite coatings. The alloy coatings had a single-phase structure, namely boundary solution α , of the maximum 10% aluminium solubility in the crystal lattice of nickel, whereas in the composite coatings the volume content of non-metallic material Al2O3 was: 0, 15, and 30 %.

Performance of MQL and Nano-MQL Lubrication in Machining ER7 Steel for Train Wheel Applications

Abstract: In the rail industry, there are four types of steel grades used for monoblock wheels, namely ER6, ER7, ER8 and ER9. ER7 steel is manufactured in accordance with the EN13262 standard and is utilized in European railway lines. These train wheels are formed by pressing and rolling after which they are machined using turning process to achieve their final dimensions. However, machining ER7 steels can be challenging due to their high mechanical properties, which can facilitate rapid tool wear and thermal cracking. Therefore, while the use of coolants is critical to improving their machinability, using conventional flood coolants adds extra operational costs, energy and waste. An alternative is to use minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) cooling technology, which applies small amounts of coolant mixed with air to the cutting zone, leaving a near-dry machined surface. In the current study, preliminary tests were undertaken under dry conditions and using coated carbide inserts to determine the optimal cutting parameters for machining ER7 steel. The impact of the cutting speed and feed rate on surface roughness (Ra), energy consumption and cutting temperature were investigated and used as a benchmark to determine the optimal cutting parameters. Next, additional machining tests were conducted using MQL and nano-MQL cooling technologies to determine their impact on the aforementioned machining outputs. According to preliminary tests, and within the tested range of the cutting parameters, using a cutting speed of 300 m/min and a feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev resulted in minimal surface roughness. As a result, using these optimal cutting parameters with MQL and Nano-MQL (NMQL) cooling technologies, the surface roughness was further reduced by 24% and 34%, respectively, in comparison to dry conditions. Additionally, tool wear was reduced by 34.1% and 37.6%, respectively. The overall results from this study demonstrated the feasibility of using MQL coolants as a sustainable machining alternative for steel parts for rail wheel applications. In addition, the current study highlight the enhanced performance of MQL cooling technology with the addition of nano additives.
