This project aims to develop the parameters for the production of high performance parts using aluminumx000D
A357 powders by directed energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing and to evaluate the optimalx000D
powder size range for the process. Using the high strength A357 powder alloy developed by Equispheres, thex000D
study will consist in developing the DED parameters for the A357 alloy and the evaluation of the propertiesx000D
(mechanical, chemical and microstructural) of the products developed as a function of those parameters.x000D
Furthermore, the effect of the powder size on the optimal build parameters and mechanical properties will bex000D
evaluated within the project to take full advantage of Equispheres proprietary atomizing process, which canx000D
produce very controlled range of powder granulometry.
