Metal Additive Manufacturing Conference - MAMC 2022

Users of metal powder based additive manufacturing systems are often afraid of not receiving the right quality. And looking at the bulk of metal powder which shall be put in the machines it is definitely understandable that uncertainties exists:
There are many factors affecting the powder quality and moreover which of them has an influence on the printing result? For many it feels like...

The micro- and nanostructure of additively manufactured alloys designed for certain applications are influenced by atomic-level effects arising from either added or randomly inserted impurities.
While the addition of elements in very low concentrations is required for the tuning towards a specific microstructure, different production routes of the feedstock and the printed parts as well as...

Most of the research on the numerical simulations of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes have focused on the detailed Finite Element (FE) simulations to optimise these manufacturing processes and to calibrate their process parameters. Although, many details of the dynamic and transient multi-physical processes, like AM processes, are required to be simulated to obtain accurate results, the...

Thermophysical property data such as surface tension, density and viscosity of liquid metals and alloys are key input-parameters for various simulations in fundamental as well as in industry related research. The field of additive manufacturing (AM) became a technological trendsetter in the last years and consequently, the interest in thermophysical property data gained more and more momentum...

Many industries desire to replace conventionally manufactured stainless steel (SS) with additively manufactured (AM) SS due to multiple advantages connected to AM. However, questions about the influence of the unique AM microstructures on corrosion resistance and the applicability of standard corrosion tests remain largely unanswered. Furthermore, the influence of post-processing steps on...
