Description
Summary:The Air Force Research Laboratory has been exploring the possibility of using metal additive manufacturing processes for depositing superalloy materials in engine component applications. Through the Metals Affordability Initiative, managed by the Metals Branch in the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, the Additive Manufacturing of Superalloys project has demonstrated the deposition of nickel superalloy features on substrates using two different process. The goals of the project are to determine the quality and mechanical property capabilities of these processes while developing a cost model to measure economic feasibility. Submitted for online publication for Materials Technology.
