Improvement of Additive Manufacturing Processability of Alloys and Ceramics

由于目前可增材加工的材料仍然非常有限，本项目旨在通过开发有效实用的晶粒细化技术，提高商用工程材料的增材制造可加工性，使更多的工程部件可以增材制造。该项目预计将扩大这项先进制造技术在工业生产中的应用。预期的结果包括商业化的晶粒细化技术和对熔池物理冶金的基本理解的突破。这将增强澳大利亚建立世界领先的增材制造活动的能力，为其他各个行业服务。

As the current materials that can be additively processed are still very limited, this project aims to increase the additive manufacturing processability of commercial engineering materials through developing effective and practical grain refinement technology so that more engineering parts can be additively fabricated. The project expects to widen the applications of this advanced manufacturing technology in industry productions. Expected outcomes include commercialisation ready grain refinement technologies and breakthrough fundamental understanding of the physical metallurgy of melt pools. This should enhance Australia’s capability to establish world-leading additive manufacturing activities serving to various other industry sectors.
