The overall Science-based Acceleration of the Full Value Stream for Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM): Expedited Powder Development and Additive Manufacturing Deployment (“X-P4AM”) project objective is to drastically reduce the time-to-market barriers for new additive alloys of interest in automotive and aerospace applications, through computational alloy design with rapid screening and down- selection via synthesis of candidate alloys with rapid solidification. The project will also refine the technology in high pressure gas atomization to improve the production of commercial quantities of selected powders with high powder yields and enhanced powder quality. Production of modified nickel-based superalloys and a Ni-containing alloy based on a high entropy composition, enhanced powder production methods, and optimized AM build parameterization provided critical steps in widespread adoption of AM technology for aerospace applications, in this case. The individual backgrounds and capabilities of the Parties are ideally suited to the successful execution of this work. The included work enhanced the Contractors’ AM capabilities, a core competency of the Contractors, and develop a close working relationship with the Participant in the area of nickel-based powder superalloys and custom alloys and their end use.
