Additive manufacturing wear-resistant products for erosive environments

用于腐蚀环境的增材制造耐磨产品。该项目旨在开发制造大规模耐磨部件的技术，涉及新材料，计算机辅助设计和直接混合制造，包括激光添加剂和加工工艺。该技术可以使用新型铁基粉末、设计的中尺度梯度结构和适当形貌和尺寸的微尺度增强相，生产出更耐磨的部件。拟议的方法有望降低采矿产品的制造成本，使其性能更好，对环境的影响更小，并使澳大利亚的采矿制造业务更具竞争力。

Additive manufacturing wear-resistant products for erosive environments. This project aims to develop technology to manufacture large scale, wear resistant components, involving new materials, computer-aided-design and direct hybrid manufacturing comprising laser additive and machining processes. The technology could produce more wear resistant components, using new iron-based powders, designed mesoscale graded structures and microscale reinforcing phases of appropriate morphology and size. The proposed approach is expected to lead to lower cost manufacturing mining products which perform better and have a lower environmental footprint, and more competitive Australian mining manufacturing operations.
