Overview

Randomized trial examines how process parameters affect properties of polymer composites, indicating optimization potential.

Key Points

  • This research aims to understand how process parameters in PBF-LB influence the properties of polymer-based composites.
  • Investigated laser power, hatch distance, scan speed, and layer thickness as process parameters.
  • Produced test specimens using polyamide 12 and its composites with carbon fibers, glass beads, and aluminum.
  • Characterized specimens for dimensional, thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties, followed by a cost analysis.
  • Identified optimal process parameters that enhance mechanical and thermal properties for each material.
  • Demonstrated a clear trade-off between performance and processing costs for the materials studied.
  • Presented cost-effective processing strategies tailored to different polymer composites.
