Development of A357 DED parameters and the effect of powder size on mechanical properties
FY 2017-18
Summary
This project aims to develop the parameters for the production of high performance parts using aluminumA357 powders by directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing and to evaluate the optimalpowder size range for the process. Using the high strength A357 powder alloy developed by Equispheres, thestudy will consist in developing the DED parameters for the A357 alloy and the evaluation of the properties(mechanical, chemical and microstructural) of the products developed as a function of those parameters.Furthermore, the effect of the powder size on the optimal build parameters and mechanical properties will beevaluated within the project to take full advantage of Equispheres proprietary atomizing process, which canproduce very controlled range of powder granulometry.
