Abstract Scope |
With recent advances in additive manufacturing (AM) typically concentrated on the techniques and instruments, this research topic focuses on improving the powder feedstock for metal AM. Besides the chemical composition, there are several other factors and alteration methods which affect the materials and mechanical properties of the printed material, and recyclability, handling, spreadability, efficiency, and additional powder properties. This research highlights these non-chemical alterations to the feedstock powder to improve overall printing efficiency and properties. Characterization techniques include nanoindentation, powder rheology, micro-plastometry, microcompression analysis, moisture content analysis, electron microscopy, and more. Examples will be shared using several metallic feedstock powders printed with various metal AM techniques. |
