Abstract
The Densification of Additive manufactured products produced through Metal Binder jetting is one of the major challenge that face this manufacturing technique, the presence of multiple internal pores in the material structure threaten the material integrity and may cause product failure. Multiple researchers are working tirelessly to enhance the densification percentage through optimizing the processes parameters, Yet the challenge is that the parameters need to developed for every material as they have different behavior based on their chemical composition.
Another Aspect that are investigated in this thesis is the material final microstructure, the significance of this aspect is it can predict the product behavior through the material... (More)

Multiple researchers are working tirelessly to enhance the densification percentage through optimizing the processes parameters, Yet the challenge is that the parameters need to developed for every material as they have different behavior based on their chemical composition.
Another Aspect that are investigated in this thesis is the material final microstructure, the significance of this aspect is it can predict the product behavior through the material characterization. The microstructure optimization can be used to enhance the material properties.
It can define how the material is behaving under different loads and can provide insights for unlocking the material potential for optimum performance.
In this thesis 440C steel is being investigated to explore how to enhance the material densification and microstructure of this high carbon chromium material by exploring previous literature review for factors that affect the metal binder jetting process in general and the optimum parameters that can be used to enhance of the additively manufactured 440C products.
