The Comparative Study

The polyvinylidene difluoride + barium titanate (BaTiO3) +graphene composite (PBGC) is one of the widely explored thermoplastic matrix due to its 4D capabilities. The number of studies has been reported on the process parameters of twin-screw extruder (TSE) setup (as mechanical blending technique) for the development of PBGC in 3D printing applications. But, hitherto, little has been reported on chemical-assisted mechanical blending (CAMB) as solution mixing and melt mixing technique combination for preparation of PBGC. In this work, for preparation of PBGC feedstock filaments, CAMB has been used. Also, the effect of process parameters of TSE on the mechanical, dimensional, morphological, and thermal properties of prepared filament of PBGC have been explored followed by 3D printing. Further, a comparative study has been reported for the properties of prepared filaments with mechanically blended composites. Similarly, the mechanical properties of 3D printed parts of chemically and mechanically blended composites have been compared. The results of tensile testing for CAMB of PBGC show that the filament prepared with 15% BaTiO3 is having maximum peak strength 43.00 MPa and break strength 38.73 MPa. The optical microphotographs of the extruded filaments revealed that the samples prepared at 180°C extruder temperature and 60 r/min screw speed have minimum porosity, as compared to filaments prepared at high extruder temperature. Further, the results of the comparative study revealed that the filaments of CAMB composites show better mechanical properties as compared to the filaments of mechanically mixed composites. However, the dimensional properties were almost similar in both cases. It was also found that the CAMB composites have better properties at low processing temperature, whereas mechanically blended composites show better results at a higher temperature. While comparing 3D printed parts, tensile strength of specimens fabricated from CAMB was more than the mechanically blended PBGC.

The extrusion of copper-based aluminium alloys is difficult in the cold state. Extruding these alloys between the solidus and liquidus temperatures offer preferred properties on these alloys. In the present work, AA2017, a copper-based aluminium alloy has been extruded in the semi-solid state. The mechanical and metallurgical properties of the alloy vary at different temperatures between the solidus and liquidus temperatures. The aim of the present work is to optimize the process parameters, namely, temperature of billet, strain rate, approach angle and percentage reduction in area on the semi-solid extrusion of AA2017 alloy. Experiments were designed according to Taguchi experimental design and L9 orthogonal array was used to conduct the experiments. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was used to find the significance of every process parameter on the thixo-extrusion process responses. The results indicate that percentage reduction area is the most important factor influencing the mechanical properties of thixo-extrusion specimen followed by temperature and strain rate.

Additive manufacturing is one of the technologies that is beginning to be used in new fields of parts production, but it is also a technology that is constantly evolving, due to the advances made by researchers and printing equipment. The paper presents how, by using the simulation process, the geometry of the 3D printed structures from PLA and PLA-Glass was optimized at the bending stress. The optimization aimed to reduce the consumption of filament (material) simultaneously with an increase in the bending resistance. In addition, this paper demonstrates that the simulation process can only be applied with good results to 3D printed structures when their mechanical properties are known. The inconsistency of printing process parameters makes the 3D printed structures not homogeneous and, consequently, the occurrence of errors between the test results and those of simulations become natural and acceptable. The mechanical properties depend on the values of the printing process parameters and the printing equipment because, in the case of 3D printing, it is necessary for each combination of parameters to determine their mechanical properties through specific tests.
