01IF23410N Project – CERACLAD
Characterization of laser powder cladding for fast, flexible and direct generation of conductive structures on three-dimensional ceramic substrates [CERACLAD]
Duration: 06/01/2023 – 05/31/2025
Research objective
The main objective of the CERACLAD research project is the direct generation of conductive structures from graded copper/copper-phosphorus systems on technical ceramics without upstream and downstream process steps by means of DED-LB/M. The copper-phosphorus material is to be used as a base layer on the ceramic due to its good wetting behavior. For high electrical conductivity, pure copper is applied in further layers. In the DED-LB/M process, two conveying lines can be continuously combined for this purpose and materials can be mixed in the process zone. The processing of CuP is additionally investigated in the PBF-LB/M process to determine the adhesion mechanisms. An infrared laser beam source is used for both processes.
