North America's Largest Metal Forming, Fabricating, Welding and Finishing Event
Additive manufacturing is seen as being one of the major revolutionary industrial processes of the next few years. Every technology has its own challenges and so does Additive Manufacturing. This presentation will expand upon the new developments addressing current challenges of metal additive manufacturing. New ideas as high temperature preheating a have a beneficial impact on this technology and are enabling the technology to increase the material portfolio. Steels with a significant carbon content can be manufactured with a high material quality. Titanium alloys don’t need to be massively supported because of reduced residual stress. This showcase will show how the 500°C preheating will impact the manufacturing process and enable Ti64 to be used for high volume applications.
