Rheological Property Criteria for Buildable 3D Printing Concrete.

ABSTRACT: Fresh concrete used in 3D printing should ensure adequate yield stress, otherwise the printed concrete layer may suffer intolerable deformation or collapse during the printing process. In response to this issue, an analytical study was carried out to derive the initial yield stress and hardening coefficient of fresh concrete suitable for 3D printing. The maximum shear stress distribution of fresh concrete was calculated using a stress transformation equation derived from the equilibrium condition of forces. In addition, the elapsed time experienced by fresh concrete during the printing processes was estimated and was then substituted into the elapsed time-yield stress function to calculate the yield stress distribution. Based on these results, an algorithm capable of deriving both the initial yield stress and the hardening coefficient required for printing fresh concrete up to the target height was proposed and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses were performed to verify the accuracy of the proposed model.

Project description:The mechanical and rheological characterizations of flexible investment casting patterns capable of 3D printing are reported. The wax pattern was composed of microcrystalline hydrocarbon wax (DMW7478), Piccotex 75 (a copolymer of α-methyl-styrene and vinyl toluene with a 75/25 molar ratio, respectively) and Escorene (a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate with a 72/28 mass ratio, respectively). It was found that in order to obtain a wax pattern with appreciable mechanical properties, the content of the microcrystalline hydrocarbon wax in these blends should not exceed 30% (m/m). Thus, a series of patterns with 28% (m/m) wax and varying Piccotex and Escorene contents spanning from 0 to 72% (m/m) was prepared. The dependence of the dynamic viscosities of the wax patterns on the composition was described using a stretched exponential model, whereas their variations with the temperature were interpreted in terms of the Arrhenius-Guzman equation. Furthermore, the slopes of the lines fitted to the viscosity versus temperature curves at the pour point decreased linearly with the Piccotex content. Non-Newtonian changes in the shear stress with the shear rate and shear stress crystallization were observed at temperatures near the pour points. The mechanical properties were evaluated using the uniaxial tensile mode and by three-point bending experiments. It was found that the stress (σ) versus the relative elongation (ε) curves can effectively be rendered by means of the standard linear solid (SLS) viscoelastic model. In addition, it was also established that the Young's modulus varied according to a sigmoid-type curve with the piccotex content, while the yield stress decreased linearly with the concentration of Piccotex. In addition, based on the spooling suitability and printability, the patterns were rated and it was found that the most appropriate wax pattern compositions for 3D printing were those which contained 30% (m/m) and 35% (m/m) Piccotex.
