Abstract Scope |
An economic drawback of powder based additive manufacturing methods is the high cost of powder compared to cast materials. However, if the material loss in the production of machined complex geometries is taken into account, the cost-loss can be compensated. The use of recycled materials that do not originate from the primary powder production cycle offers further potential for cost reduction. In the present contribution, the use of Ti-6Al-4V powder generated via a recycling route is combined with FDM processing. The starting chip material for powder production comes from aviation production leftovers. The chips were cleaned and formed into cylindrical electrodes. Spherical powder was then produced using the Electron Induction Guided Atomization process. The tensile strength of the FDM parts was validated against parts processed by MIM, both made out of the same recycled Ti-6Al-4V powder feedstock. |
