Research on high nickel content alloys processed byadditive manufacturing

Abstract

Additive manufacturing is a frankly expanding manufacturing technique. Like any other productive process, its applicability has certain limitations. However, there are still feasibility gaps that could be overcome like those found in high volume - low profit margin productive fields. This research intends to provide an incremental contribution which would lead to expand its application possibilities. In this sense, two key objectives will be considered, the development of a cost-effective material suitable to be processed by additive manufacturing and the productiveness optimization with respect to the state of the art.
This publication details the outlined activities intended to develop specific process parameters to additive manufacture the alloy NCF 3015 by means of “Selective Laser Melting (SLM)”
