Abstract
In this paper, the possibility of additively producing individual 3D-structures with borosilicate and soda-lime glass based on a laser process with glass rods is demonstrated. In a previous study, process parameters, which show the geometrically defined deposition of individual layers were determined (Fröhlich et al. in Herstellung individueller Strukturen aus silikatischen Werkstoffen mittels Wire-Laser Additive Manufacturing. Wilhelm & Sohn, pp. 287–297, 2020). These findings are used to create single-layer walls, flat applications and free-form structures. The focus is on the additive manufacturing of large-volume components compared to the current state of the art. A CO2 laser is used to create a melt pool on the substrate surface. The rod-based additional material is melted to create 3D-structures. The ratio between process speed and feed speed, as well as the laser power, remains constant during the experiments, as does the temperature in the process chamber. The fabricated structures are subjected to thermal post-treatment to reduce thermal stress. Remaining residual stresses are investigated with photoelasticity. The samples are quantified with destructive and non-destructive materialographical tests to determine the geometric dimensions. Taking into account the previous process parameters, the results achieved are discussed and evaluated with regard to the width, height of the layer and the bonding angle. The height adjustment in relation to the layer height is discussed in order to avoid shape deviation. The major objective of the investigation is to achieve near-net-shape production with a low tensile residual stress state in order to reduce the degree of post-processing.
