Collaborative R&D Project 2025

Reduction of surface roughness & manufacture of complex demonstrator features from advanced AM alloys

Can complex components be additively manufactured from advanced AM alloys?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Conventional Ni- and Co-based alloys with higher strength are difficult to process via AM.
  • Powder suppliers are developing high temperature superalloys designed for AM with superior properties
  • In Project 3.6 (2023 & 2024) parameter sets for LPBF and LMD manufacturing of ABD900-AM and AD730 were developed.

Objective

  • In this follow-up project the parameter sets shall be extended and used to manufacture rotary components from ABD900-AM and AD730
