Project Description


Project description:

The construction industry is constantly seeking innovative technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the sustainability of building processes. Additive Manufacturing (AM) has revolutionized many industries by enabling the production of complex geometries with minimal waste. However, its adoption in the construction sector remains limited due to challenges such as material compatibility, structural integrity, and cost-effectiveness.

In this project, dissimilar welds between AM parts and conventional semi-finished parts are investigated. Where the AM parts are made of stainless steel, and the conventional semi-finished parts are made of structural steel.

The tasks depend on the state of research in the given time period and can vary between literature research and experimental and numerical analysis.

Working hours per week planned:

40
