− How do you eliminate residues and prevent entrapment?
− How do you remove all processing fluids from final product?

− In-house processing operations will contaminate parts− includes applied cleaning procedures
− Think of ALM structures as sponges− Rough surfaces pick up surface debris− Substructures act as a sponge and absorb fluids and
humidity from air
− Removal of all these residues, liquids and debris is a challenge
Very Complex Issue

To remove these contaminates, you clean: Wash, Blast, Ultrasonics?

Effective Cleaning of Complex Porous Structures is a Challenge
− Liquid exposures can be problematic
− Ultrasonic cleaning, rinsing, passivation
− Cleaning solutions, caustics, acids
− Problem becomes effective removal of cleaning liquids

Open Cell Structures Pose Less of a Challenge
Fluids In – Fluids Out

![Page 19: ADDITIVE LAYER MANUFACTURING AS APPLIED TO POROUS … · ADDITIVE LAYER MANUFACTURING AS APPLIED TO POROUS SURFACES ON MEDICAL IMPLANTS CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH CLEANING AND PROCESSING](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011907/5f52f28c7cfd9e463625ca0f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Open Cells
• Closed Cells
• Semi-Closed Cells?
Closed and Complex Cell StructuresAre a Real Challenge

![Page 20: ADDITIVE LAYER MANUFACTURING AS APPLIED TO POROUS … · ADDITIVE LAYER MANUFACTURING AS APPLIED TO POROUS SURFACES ON MEDICAL IMPLANTS CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH CLEANING AND PROCESSING](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011907/5f52f28c7cfd9e463625ca0f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Processing Effects
− Thermal Effects
− Open (interconnected) cells stay open during all stages of processing− General problem that has to be dealt with− Any liquid exposure has to be effectively rinsed and dried
− Closed cells remain closed during all stages of processing− Shouldn’t be a problem
− Semi-closed – open when heated due to thermal expansion, then close upon cooling− Can be a very big issue

Processing Effects – Open Cells
21
− Typical Liquid Exposures
− Cutting fluids and coolants
− Solvents and cleaners used to remove above− May include ultrasonic with heat
− Rinse agents and water used to remove above
− Passivation
− All can be effectively removed with proper practice

Processing Effects – Semi-Closed Cells
− Semi-closed cells open at elevated temperature ( > 40 o C)
− Liquid infuses into now open cells at temperature
− Liquid remains trapped as cells close again upon cooling
− Liquid can be effectively rinsed from all open areas but not from now closed cells
− Subsequent thermal exposure can re-release liquid
− Particular concern during passivation step

Passivation Effects – Semi-Closed Cells
− Semi-closed cells – open when heated then close upon cooling
− Nitric Acid Exposure
− Slowly oozes out over time

Potential Solutions
− Effective dissolution and removal of all liquid agents
− Use of volatile alcohols
− Combined with ultrasonics + temperature to open those semi-open cells
− Followed by effective oven drying

Unfused Powder ParticlesLong Term Problem for all ALM Materials
• Nature of the material – it all starts with fine Ti powder
• Unfused particles are cleaned off of manufactured parts by blast methods using the same media
• Levels of effectiveness – surfaces look good
• Below the surface may be a problem – remember the complex porosity issue

Conclusions
• A variety of particle cleanliness issues need to be addressed for evolving ALM components
• Stick your head in the sand?
• Test, evaluation and material standardizations specific to ALM material are needed
