CT inspection of a rocket combustion chamber made of Inconel

Eine 3D-gedruckte Brennkammer eines Raketen-Triebwerks wurde nach dem Einsatz auf Schäden geprüft. The goal was to determine whether another operation is feasible.

Material

Inconel

Manufacturing Processes

PBF (3D-Druck)

Test task

Prüfung der Kühlkanäle auf Verstopfungen

Prüfung der Wandintegrität nach dem Einsatz

01 Initial Situation

A 3D-printed combustion chamber of a rocket engine was ignited or used and had to be inspected for damage upon return.

02 Goal

The goal was to determine whether another operation is feasible.

03 Execution

For this purpose, the integrity of the wall as well as the cooling channels were examined. The cooling channels also had to be checked for possible blockages.

04 Result

The combustion chamber showed no damage to the wall and all cooling channels were clear.

3D-Rekonstruktion der Brennkammer — Die hochauflösende 3D-Reconstruction bildet die Grundlage für die Analysis der additiv gefertigten Brennkammer und ermöglicht eine zerstörungsfreie Bewertung komplexer Geometrien.

Wall Thickness Analysis — Die farbcodierte Auswertung visualisiert die Wandstärken der additiv gefertigten Brennkammer. Kritische Bereiche und Materialverteilungen lassen sich auf einen Blick erkennen.
