Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference 2018

An increasing availability of capable additive manufacturing processing technologies is in parallel needing high-performance metallic materials in order to create efficient, light weight design parts. The consortium of the M-Era.net project HiPA²l has set goals to develop innovative Aluminium alloys designed for usage in wire-based arc welding AM processes. The alloying and processing research in project proposal HiPA²l will take advantage of recent developments in analytical as well as numerical simulation of new alloy compositions, allowing an enhanced understanding of the expectable material behaviour both in the development of alloys as well as in the industrial phase of producing complex shaped parts.
