GRANADA project aims to provide a GLOBAL solution for manufacturing large components with complex geometry and high value-added materials using WLAM (Wire Laser Additive Manufacturing) technology.
It proposes the development of a global manufacturing methodology that combines digital technologies such as topological optimization, finite element simulation, monitoring technologies to additive manufacture, to obtain large format parts in high value materials and without defects for application in the aeronautical industry.
It will be necessary to study the optimum processing parameters that determine the microstructural and mechanical quality of the deposited layers and therefore of the final part, both in Invar and titanium alloy, and develop a specific simulation tool that supports the manufacture of optimized components from the point of view of quality and dimensional stability, which will be validated through the manufacture of two demonstrators manufactured using Ti64 into an inert chamber (AIMEN) and using Invar under local protection (CATEC) for the aeronautical sector.
In situ monitoring methodology will be evaluated by laser induced plasma spectroscopy (LIBS) to identify deviations in the WLAM fabrication process, related to the protective atmosphere of the fusion zone. Ti64 study.
