3Dprinted parts

As a supplier of aerospace parts, the company hopes to develop lightweight components. Additive manufacturing-3DPrinting technology brings a higher degree of freedom in part design, giving the team the ability to design and develop innovative, lightweight parts. Additionally, at the material level, the company plans to replace some metal parts with lighter thermoplastics.

according to“Promote energy savings and emissions reduction!” » “3DPrint+According to the article “Engineering Plastics” Discussion on the possibility of replacing metals, thermoplastics have many advantages for replacing certain metal parts from the point of view of application performance requirements such as flame retardancy, chemical resistance, strength specific and heat resistance, as well as surface resistance. , they can all be considered appropriate.3DPrint engineering plastics to replace metal.

An obvious advantage of replacing some metal parts with thermoplastics in aerospace is that metal parts typically use lubricants to reduce friction, but this also increases the risk of corrosion. Plastic has inherent advantages in terms of wear resistance.PennsylvaniaAT A GLANCE The materials have good self-lubricating conditions and a low coefficient of friction.AT A GLANCE The material has self-lubricating conditions, a relatively low coefficient of friction in the dry state and good corrosion resistance. Its chemical resistance is comparable to that of nickel steel and it is only soluble in certain highly corrosive solvents such as concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. acid.

It is therefore necessary to reduce the weight of the parts while maintaining the performance required of traditional metal parts.Parisse Company introduce3DThings to consider when printing your device.

A brushed finish creates a unidirectional satin texture, reducing the visibility of marks and scratches on the surface.
Anodizing increases corrosion resistance and wear properties, while allowing for color dyeing, ideal for aluminum parts.
Black oxide is a conversion coating that is used on steels to improve corrosion resistance and minimize light reflection.
Electroplating bonds a thin metal layer onto parts, improving wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and surface conductivity.
