Failure analysis of metal parts produced by additive manufacturing

Your needs: Analyze the failure of your metal parts produced by additive manufacturing

First of all, what is additive manufacturing?

Additive manufacturing is a manufacturing process different from the traditional process. Indeed, additive manufacturing relies on the successive layering of powder melted by a laser beam.

It is a method that offers several advantages, including:

  • a very wide variety of producible shapes,
  • objects that cannot be manufactured as a single piece using traditional means can be easily produced in multiple copies
  • minimizing the impact of assembly operations and material costs

Why analyze failures in your additive manufacturing parts?

Because of their manufacturing process, the quality of additive manufacturing parts depends on different factors. Indeed, the powder particle size distribution and the shape of the particles, in particular, have a direct impact on the final quality. Thus, analyzing the failure of your parts allows you to better understand your material and, in turn, better anticipate its potential failures.

As a result, the support of a laboratory specializing in additive manufacturing is a significant asset for optimizing your parts.

The FILAB laboratory can carry out these analyses according to Safran Pr 6000 and Pr 7210.
