Abstract

The combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing processes is especially useful for repairing complex geometries and high-added-value components. The best solution for combining both processes is to integrate them in a single machine. Nevertheless, this combination entails a series of challenges, such as the impact that the use of cutting fluids in the subtractive operation may have on the subsequent additive process. In view of this situation, the present work aims to evaluate the effects of the deposition of AISI H13 hot work tool steel on a substrate impregnated with cutting fluid. For this purpose, different oil concentrations have been considered, and the attained results have been compared with the reference tests, performed on a clean substrate. In addition to morphological variations, it has been observed that when high oil concentrations are used, the deposited material is cracked, invalidating the parts manufactured through this approach. Therefore, in the case of AISI H13 tool steel, it has been determined that a cleaning stage is highly necessary in order to remove any cutting fluid that may be on the surface of the substrate before the additive operation is performed.
