| Abstract Scope |
GRCop-42 is a dispersion strengthened copper alloy of interest due to its high thermal and electrical conductivity and adaptability when used in powder based, metal AM processing. The Cr-Nb additives are insoluble in the matrix and form strengthening dispersoids during the gas atomization process used to produce the powder. This study looks at the effect of the powder based, metal AM processing parameters on the resulting microstructure and mechanical properties. Builds were obtained from five different vendors, deposited using their best practice, for metallurgical and mechanical property evaluation. By comparing the size, morphology and distribution of the dispersoids with the resulting mechanical properties, the critical processing parameters can be identified. This information is critical for ensuring consistent material properties in metal AM parts of GRCop-42. |
