Failure analysis of test specimens conveyor belt components produced by additive technology
Original language description
Additive technologies are used in the production of various types of products. However, it is necessary to choose the right technology, select the appropriate material, and observe other necessary requirements in order to ensure that the final product is in accordance with its intended use. Otherwise, the result may be a product that does not have the desired properties or may show signs of damage. In such cases, it is necessary to analyse the feasibility of producing such a product by additive manufacturing or to identify the causes of the damage. In this paper, failure analysis of test specimens of rubber-textile conveyor belt carcasses will be presented. An original method was designed and verified within the research to implement failure analysis. At the same time, a classification of failures was defined, which includes 3 basic categories of failures, which in total contain 10 types of possible failures. The test specimens were produced for the purpose of research aimed at replacing industrial textiles in the carcass of a conveyor belt with a structure produced by additive technologies. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Stereolithography (SLA) technology were used in the research. During the fabrication of the specimens, failures occurred which rendered the final product unusable for further research. Using failure analysis, the causes of the defects were identified and analysed. The industrial metrotomography method was used. By eliminating these causes, it was possible to produce functional specimens of the structures, which have already been applied in further research on the use of additive technologies. Based on the results of the failure analysis, a suitable 3D printing method was selected, and a configuration of 3D printing parameter settings was implemented, allowing production of the rubber-textile conveyor belts skeleton in an additive manner, which has not been implemented anywhere before.
