Development of ultralight alloys - ULTRALIGERO project

With Google translate - Development of ultralight alloys to be processed with additive manufacturing technologies. - ULTRALIGERO project - January 25, 2018

The introduction:

During the year 2017, the Metalworking, Furniture, Wood, Packaging and Allied Technological Institute, AIDIMME, has been developing the ULTRALIGERO project, whose main objective is the processing of an ultralight magnesium, aluminum or titanium based alloy, compatible with the processing by the high productivity additive manufacturing technology known as Electron Beam Melting (EBM). This project aims to give the industry a path of high productivity of ultralight pieces by additive manufacturing, which is an advantage for multiple sectors.

At this time, already in the second year of this research initiative, we are obtaining, within the third work package, the process parameters that guarantee a high level of densification and without the presence of cracks in the manufactured samples.

The technologies of Additive Manufacturing (FA) allow obtaining products with geometries more complex than those obtained through traditional manufacturing technologies. The main characteristic of FA technologies is that the pieces or products are manufactured by the successive selective addition of material, directly from a digital file with the geometry of the 3D CAD part. One of the limitations of additive metal fabrication technologies are the materials that can be processed, being conditioned by some steels, Co-Cr alloys, nickel base alloys, titanium alloys and some aluminum alloys.
