Die Implementierung von Laser Powder Bed Fusion bei Aluminiumoxidkeramiken ist aufgrund einer geringen Temperaturwechselbeständigkeit, Bauteilverdichtung, Pulverfließfähigkeit und Lichtabsorption eine große Herausforderung. In dieser Arbeit wurden diese Prob-leme mit unterschiedlichen Ansätzen adressiert. Sprühgetrocknete Aluminiumoxid Granulate wurde zur Verbesserung der Laserabsorption (über 80 % Verbesserung) mit farbigen Nano-Oxidpartikeln dotiert. Es wurden verschiedene Partikelpackungstheorien und Pulverbehand-lungen getestet, um die Pulverbettdichte und damit die Dichte des endgültigen Bauteils (Dichten bis zu 98,6 %) zu erhöhen. Die Pulverqualität wurde durch Schütt und Rütteldichte, Feuchtigkeitsgehalt, Partikelgrößenverteilung, Hausner-Verhältnis, Lawinenwinkel und Oberflächenfraktal charakterisiert. Des Weiteren wurde der Zusatz geeigneter Stoffe zur Verringerung der Rissbildung durch thermische Spannungen getestet. Die In-situ-Bildung von Phasen mit geringer und negativer Wärmeausdehnung reduzierte die Rissbildung in den lasergefertigten Oxidkeramiken stark.:1 Introduction 1

List of Tables 269 / The implementation of laser powder bed fusion of aluminum oxide ceramics is challenging due to a low thermal shock resistance, part densification, powder flowability and light absorptance. In this work, these challenges have been addressed by different approaches. Spray-dried alumina granules were doped with colored oxide nanoparticles to improve the laser absorption (improvement by over 80%). Different particle packing theories and powder treatments were tested to increase the powder bed density and therefore, the final part density (densities up to 98.6%). The powder quality was characterized by apparent and tapped density, moisture content, particle size distribution, Hausner ratio, avalanche angle and sur-face fractal. Furthermore, the addition of suitable was tested to reduce crack formation caused by thermal stresses. The in-situ formation of low and negative thermal expansion phases strongly reduced the crack formation in the laser manufactured oxide ceramic parts.:1 Introduction 1
