Optimization of RTMP steel powder use for powder-bed selective laser melting, prototype part manufacturing demonstration and cost analysis
FY 2016-17
Summary
The project is focused on the evaluation of the suitability of the Rio Tinto Metallic Powders (RTMP)water-atomized low-carbon steel powders as a feedstock for selective laser melting (SLM) additivemanufacturing technology. In the framework of this project, SLM processing of RTMP powders will beoptimized, a prototype part will be produced from these powders and the economic competitiveness of theRTMP product will be assessed. It is anticipated that a combination of low-energy-cost RTMP powders withthe buy-to-fly ratio reduction capacity of AM technologies would benefit both the industry and theenvironment.
