Laser sintering TAFE

We are Three Swinburne TAFE students doing a project on laser sintering parsts made at the at Swinburne IRIS this is a guide to the method and results
of our research.

we are testing laser sintered metal specimens for hardness, consistency
tensile test,UTS,Heat treatment and internal structure.

Thesem materials are used in rapid part manufacture .laser sintering is state of the art in RPM.We are testing UTS tensile strenth,microstucture and heat treatment.

All samples come from Swineburne University IRIS in Glenferie Victoria.
we ibntend to conduct testing to investigate heat teatment on Laser sintered metal parts and get a feeling of cuurent rapid manufacturing.


Our procedures will be
1 Obtain info on laser sintering from IRIS
2 Get samples in standard shapes and sizes.
3 Test some heat treat others
4 Test heat treated samples
5 Cut and mount sections
6 Do micrograph.
7 write up report.
our jobs we be

Get samples - All

Lab test Ian and Don
Heat treatment Haroon
