Abstract


Metal additive manufacturing creates opportunities for producing both monolithic volumes and spatial structures of complex geometries, directly from metal powders. Therefore, the technology is recognized as a promise to solve problems in many industrial sectors: automotive, aerospace and medicine. However, the problem is the availability of a wide range of materials, so that, engineers can select materials with desired properties. Many years of AM experience at CAMT-FPC resulted in proven methodology of materials development for metal additive manufacturing. The methodology allows expanding the use of metal AM in a range of industries. The following steps of materials development will be discussed: Determination of material requirements (definition of materials working conditions); selection of a group/groups of materials that match the requirements (not necessarily from the same alloy group as in conventional use); literature studies of specific materials’ properties (influence of different processing techniques on materials’ microstructures); powder material characteristics (quality control in terms of technology requirements); development of processing parameters (several-step experimental research using experiment design methods); microscopic observations, mechanical testing, special properties investigation (detailed definition of phenomena affecting material properties); post-process development (processes aimed at removing possible defects of the material or parts resulting from the nature of the AM process) and; construction and testing of the demonstrator part(s).
