Assessment of advanced AM alloys for repair/ AM via LMD and LPBF

What are geometrical limitations of ABD900-AM and AD730 parts manufactured by LPBF & LMD?

Challenge and Motivation

  • Conventional Ni- and Co-based alloys with higher strength are difficult to process via AM.
  • Powder suppliers are developing high temperature superalloys designed for AM with superior properties.

Objective

  • In Project 3.6 (2023) parameter sets for LPBF and LMD manufacturing of ABD900-AM and AD730 were developed.
  • In this follow-up project the geometrical limitations of ABD900-AM and AD730 parts are investigated.
