3. Processing aluminium EN AW 7075 alloy using selective laser meltingNejc Velikajne, Jože Medved, Matjaž Godec, Irena Paulin, zaključena znanstvena zbirka raziskovalnih podatkov Povzetek: Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing process, forming the desired geometry by selective layer fusion of powder material. Unlike conventional manufacturing processes, highly complex parts can be designed and manufactured with high accuracy and little post processing. Currently, different types of steel, aluminium, titanium and nickel-based alloys have been successfully processed; however, high strength aluminium alloy EN AW 7075 has not been processed with satisfying quality. The main focus of the investigation is to develop a new alloy which is more suitable for the SLM process for the wide used aluminium alloy EN AW 7075. But before that, gas-atomized powder material was characterized in terms of statistical distribution. A wide range of process parameters and different pre-heating temperatures were selected to optimize the process in terms of optimum volume density and reducing the effect of hot cracking. However, all laser-melted parts exhibited hot cracks which typically appear in aluminium alloy EN AW 7075.

7. High temperature oxidation of EN AW 7075 aluminium alloyNejc Velikajne, Tilen Balaško, Jaka Burja, Matjaž Godec, Irena Paulin, 2024, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Povzetek: Aluminium alloys are highly valued for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them a preferred choice in structural applications. Among these alloys, EN AW 7075 stands out for its superior mechanical properties, finding widespread use in industries such as aerospace, mechanical engineering, and sports equipment. This study investigates the high-temperature oxidation behavior of EN AW 7075 alloy. The gathered results can provide valuable insights into the behavior of the mentioned alloy during the selective laser melting (SLM) process. These results can contribute to a better understanding of how the alloy responds to specific conditions and parameters. SLM is an additive manufacturing technique. The process involves the sequential steps of preheating, melting, and rapid cooling of metal powder. To minimize the influence of oxygen, the build chamber is filled with inert gas. A protective argon atmosphere is continuously maintained. However, despite these precautions, oxidation can still occur, leading to potential issues in the final product. Hence, we examined the oxidation kinetics of the EN AW 7075 alloy in an oxygen atmosphere in the temperature range of 300-500 °C. The findings of this investigation significantly contribute to an understanding of the behavior of the alloy during high-temperature oxidation, particularly for ongoing studies focused on processing Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys using the selective laser melting technique. Thermogravimetry was employed to analyze the oxidizing behavior, with three samples subjected to a 6-hour exposure in an oxidizing atmosphere at temperatures of 300, 400, and 500 °C. Surprisingly, no oxidation occurred, as indicated by the negligible and negative changes in mass observed across all samples.

8. Effect of heat treatment on thermal conductivity of additively manufactured AISI H13 tool steelSamo Tome, Blaž Karpe, Irena Paulin, Matjaž Godec, 2024, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci Povzetek: AISI H13 is commonly used for tooling, where higher wear resistance, thermal fatigue resistance, or hot toughness is required. Such examples include forging dies, plastic molds, hot shear blades, high-pressure die casting, and extrusion dies. Thus, thermal conductivity is one of the most important factors for hot work tools. Typically, the work cycle of a hot work tool designed for forging consists of four main phases: the forging stroke, with which the die imparts its shape onto the part, a brief pause while the die is reset to its original position, a lubrication phase, and a post lubrication dwell phase. During the forging phase, a significant amount of heat is transferred to the die while it is in contact with the part. This heat must then be dispelled for the part to return to a working temperature. While somewhat different, other hot work processes mentioned above are similar in that the hot work tool gets heated to a high temperature due to the contact with the object of deformation. The process of additive manufacturing (AM) promises better, more efficient tool production with features like conforming cooling channels, which would reduce the thermal fatigue of tools, prolonging tool life. However, the powder bed fusion (PBF) method creates a columnar microstructure, which has a detrimental effect on the thermal conductivity of H13 tool steel. Our investigation focused on the beneficial effect of heat treatment, specifically annealing at different temperatures, on the thermal conductivity of AM-produced H13 parts.

9. Characterization of hFOB 1.19 cell line for studying Zn-based degradable metallic biomaterialsEva Jablonská, Lucie Mrázková, Jiří Kubásek, Dalibor Vojtěch, Irena Paulin, Tomáš Ruml, Jan Lipov, 2024, izvirni znanstveni članek Povzetek: In vitro testing is the first important step in the development of new biomaterials. The human fetal osteoblast cell line hFOB 1.19 is a very promising cell model; however, there are vast discrepancies in cultivation protocols, especially in the cultivation temperature and the presence of the selection reagent, geneticin (G418). We intended to use hFOB 1.19 for the testing of Zn-based degradable metallic materials. However, the sensitivity of hFOB 1.19 to zinc ions has not yet been studied. Therefore, we compared the toxicity of zinc towards hFOB 1.19 under different conditions and compared it with that of the L929 mouse fibroblast cell line. We also tested the cytotoxicity of three types of Zn-based biomaterials in two types of media. The presence of G418 used as a selection reagent decreased the sensitivity of hFOB 1.19 to Zn2+. hFOB 1.19 cell line was more sensitive to Zn2+ at elevated (restrictive) temperatures. hFOB 1.19 cell line was less sensitive to Zn2+ than L929 cell line (both as ZnCl2 and extracts of alloys). Therefore, the appropriate cultivation conditions of hFOB 1.19 during biomaterial testing should be chosen with caution.
