| Abstract Scope |
Additive Manufacturing achieves vastly different processing conditions than traditional wrought alloy manufacturing, which in most cases enables different alloy design criteria. Why then do we continue to use traditional alloys, and just ‘make them work’ for additive? This talk will discuss some of the industrial challenges using new materials, especially when combined with new manufacturing processes. We will also highlight some recent advancement in additive-enhanced high-strength titanium alloys such as ATI Titan 23™ and ATI Titan 171™, and ATI’s new powder-only alloy designed for additive manufacturing, ATI 1700™. These examples will highlight future opportunities for accelerated insertion of higher performance materials while moderating risk profiles. |
