Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2021

The process-inherent advantages of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) have been exploited for many different applications nowadays, including the production of highly stressed inserts for the Al die-casting industry. However, similar to conventional production routes, performance and lifetime of AM-produced tools are still significantly determined by the specific material properties. Here,...

Inconel 625 is a solid-solution strengthened alloy of great interest for the aerospace and oil and gas industries, due to its good mechanical and corrosion properties, besides microstructure stability up to 540 °C, providing a great potential for the additive manufacturing segment. In this study, Sandvik Osprey Inconel 625 powder, atomized via vacuum induction melting inert gas atomization...

In the presentation, newly developed high strength aluminium alloys of AM Metals GmbH and its possibilities in automotive applications are shown. Specific loads and requirements are discussed in connection exemplary 3D printed applications. In a sophisticated development process, new aluminium alloys for 3 D printing with unique properties were invented. They combine the strengtz of high...

In contrast to the single-stage process, high deformation degrees can be achieved using multi-stage deep drawing strategies. However, the first forming step already leads to significant changes in the overall sheet metal forming behavior. Temperature changes are caused by friction and plastic deformation in an inhomogeneous manner, which in turn affect the whole subsequent drawing steps and...

The paper presents a part of an integrated experimental chain to manufacture new advanced biodegradable Mg-based implants from powder raw materials by Selective Laser Melting (SLM). The Mechanical Alloying (MA), as a complex solid-state synthesis procedure, was used for obtaining Mg powder alloys with different compositions in the system Mg-xZn-yZr-zCa: Mg-4Zn-0.8Ca-0.5Zr, Mg-6Zn-0.8Ca-0.5Zr...
