Improvement of Additive Manufacturing Processability of Alloys and Ceramics (2021–2024)

Abstract:
As the current materials that can be additively processed are still very limited, this project aims to increase the additive manufacturing processability of commercial engineering materials through developing effective and practical grain refinement technology so that more engineering parts can be additively fabricated. The project expects to widen the applications of this advanced manufacturing technology in industry productions. Expected outcomes include commercialisation ready grain refinement technologies and breakthrough fundamental understanding of the physical metallurgy of melt pools. This should enhance Australia¿TM)s capability to establish world-leading additive manufacturing activities serving to various other industry sectors.
