Wire vs. Powder in LMD
What are the properties of wire and powder based LMD deposited IN718 samples?
Challenge and Motivation
- Currently, there are few direct comparisons of wire and powder based deposited samples available.
- Both the required process parameters and resulting properties are important for a valid comparison.
Objective
- Determination of properties (defects, tensile strength) of wire based deposited IN718 samples.
- Comparison of resulting properties of (new) wire and (former – 2016 P7) powder based deposited samples.
