Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a component from a composite material.
- a problem with such techniques is that the field can only align the CNTs in a relatively thin layer.
- the alignment of CNTs throughout a bulk material is not possible since the viscosity of the composite matrix must be overcome throughout the volume using a field of sufficient strength.
- a first aspect of the invention provides a method of additive Iy manufacturing a component from a composite material, the composite material comprising a matrix and a plurality of reinforcement elements, the method comprising:
- each layer may be consolidated and/or cured by directing energy to selected parts of the layer before the next layer is formed on top of it.
- the composite material comprises a powder, each powder particle comprising a plurality of reinforcement elements contained within a matrix; and the energy consolidates selected parts of each layer by melting the matrix.
- the electromagnetic field causes at least some of the powder particles to rotate.
- the composite material is agitated as the electromagnetic field is applied, for instance by stirring or ultrasonic agitation.
- the reinforcement elements may be aligned before the electromagnetic field is applied, and in this case the elements may rotate together.
- the field may cause them rotate together from a perpendicular orientation to an angled orientation.
- at least some of the elements rotate with respect to each other, for instance to become co- aligned from a disordered state.
- the properties of the component may be controlled by applying different electromagnetic fields to at least two of the layers. For instance the orientation, pattern, strength, and/or frequency of the applied field may be varied between layers.
- the method further comprising forming at least two of the layers with different shapes, sizes or patterns. This enables a component to be formed in a so-called "net shape” by forming each layer under control of a computer model of the desired net-shape.
- the reinforcement elements typically have an elongate structure such as tubes, fibres or plates.
- the reinforcement elements may be solid or tubular.
- the reinforcement elements may comprise single walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs); multi- walled CNTs, carbon nanofibres; or CNTs coated with a layer of amorphous carbon or metal.
- At least one of the reinforcement elements have an aspect ratio greater than 100, preferably greater than 1000, and most preferably greater than 10 .
- the reinforcement elements may be formed of any material such as silicon carbide or alumina, but preferably the reinforcement elements are formed from carbon. This is preferred due to the strength and stiffness of the carbon-carbon bond and the electrical properties found in carbon materials.
- a second aspect of the invention provides apparatus for additively manufacturing a component from a composite material, the composite material comprising a matrix and a plurality of reinforcement elements, the method comprising:
- a third aspect of the invention provides a composite powder, each powder particle comprising a plurality of reinforcement elements contained within a matrix.
- a fourth aspect of the invention provides a method of manufacturing a composite powder, the method comprising chopping a fibre into a series of lengths, each length constituting a powder particle, the fibre comprising a plurality of reinforcement elements contained within a matrix.
- the reinforcement elements in the fibre are at least partially aligned with each other.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of a fibre
- Figure 3 shows a layer of polymer powder with particles randomly aligned in three dimensions
- Figure 4 shows a powder bed additive manufacturing system
- Figure 5 shows the layer being aligned by an electromagnetic field
- Figure 6 shows an energy source melting the polymer powder into a consolidated layer
- Figure 7 shows a three layer component.
- FIG. 1 shows part of the length of a fibre 1.
- the fibre 1 comprises a plurality of single- walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) 2 contained within a polymer matrix.
- SWNTs 2 are aligned parallel with the length of the fibre 1.
- the fibre 1 may be formed in a number of ways, including electrospinning and melt spinning.
- electrospinning the fibre 1 is drawn out from a viscous polymer solution by applying an electric field to a droplet of the solution (most often at a metallic needle tip).
- the solution contains randomly aligned SWNTs, but the SWNTs become at least partially aligned during the electrospinning process. See for example:
- the fibre 1 is then chopped into a series of short lengths 3 as shown in Figure 2, each length 3 constituting a powder particle.
- the powder can then be used as a feedstock in a powder-bed additive manufacturing process as shown in Figures 3-6.
- the powder particles 3 are shown schematically in Figures 3-6 as spheres instead of elongate cylinders for ease of illustration.
- the powder particles 3 are initially randomly aligned in three dimensions.
- Figure 4 shows a powder bed additive manufacturing system.
- a roller (not shown) picks up powder feedstock from one of a pair of feed containers (not shown) and rolls a continuous bed of powder over a build platform 10. The roller imparts a degree of packing between adjacent polymer powder particles, as shown in Figure 4.
- a source of a strong electromagnetic field i.e. electrodes 11,12
- a source of ultrasonic agitation such as an ultrasonic horn 14.
- the field may be direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC).
- the electric or magnetic component may be dominant. Examples of suitable fields are described in:
- a heat source 15 shown in Figure 6 is then turned on to melt the polymer matrix material and form a consolidated layer 16, whilst maintaining the global orientation of the CNTs.
- the heat source 15 may for instance be a laser which scans a laser beam across the build platform and directs energy to selected parts of the bed. The heat melts and consolidates the selected parts of the bed, and any un-melted powder can be removed after the process is complete.
- the process then repeats to form a component 20 with a series of layers 16,21,22 shown in Figure 7.
- the laser beam is scanned and modulated under control of a computer model to form each individual layer with a desired net-shape. Note that the CNTs in each layer
- 16,21 are aligned before the next layer is formed on top of it.
- the properties of the component may be controlled by applying different electromagnetic fields to the feedstock in at least two of the layers.
- the SWNTs are aligned at 90° to the build platform in layer 16, at -45° to the build platform in layer 21, and at +45° to the build platform in layer 22.
- the pattern, strength or frequency of the applied field may also be varied between layers.
- the composite material may comprise a photo-curing liquid contained in a vat.
- the vat contains a build platform which is lifted up slightly above the surface of the liquid to form a thin layer of liquid.
- the thin layer is then exposed to the electromagnetic field to rotate the reinforcement elements.
- the thin layer is then scanned with a laser in a selected pattern to selectively cure the liquid.
- the composite material may be deposited from a feed head to selected parts of a build region.
- An example of such a process is a so-called
- powder feed process in which powder feedstock is emitted from a nozzle, and melted as it exits the nozzle.
- the nozzle is scanned across a build platform and the stream of molten powder is turned on and off as required.
- the reinforcement elements may be rotated as they exit the feed head, or on the build platform after they have been deposited. Note that in common with the methods described above the component is built up in a series of layers, but in this case the layers may be non-planar and/or non-horizontal.
