Abstract Scope |
Rocket engine components, such as combustion chambers, are often produced from the GRCopper family of alloys, which offers a unique profile of high temperature properties paired with excellent thermal conductivity. GRCop 42 alloy is a precipitation hardened alloy composed of copper chromium and niobium. Compared to other intensively studied alloys produced through laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), there are relatively limited information on GRCop 42 alloys. Here we examine the influence of volumetric energy density (VED) on LPBF GRCop-42 alloy. VED has prominent impact on the formation of nanoprecipitates. A threshold energy is identified for optimizing mechanical performance and minimizing print defects in this alloy. |
