NSERC Industrial Research Chair for Colleges in Development of metal powders for advanced**manufacturing processes and applications

随着3D打印技术的到来，技术进步成为可能，通过参与各种财团和研究小组，该中心在加拿大脱颖而出。该中心通过增加三种3D打印技术，在增材制造方面的合作工作已成为加拿大公认的领导者。不可能获得具有定制化学成分的金属粉末是CMQ及其合作伙伴近年来遇到的主要问题。这个问题阻碍了新的工业应用的发展。为了弥补创新链上的不足，CMQ及其合作伙伴希望组建一个NSERC工业研究主席。该提案将使定制金属粉末（铝，工具钢，钛，镍，铝化物等）的开发适合于增材制造技术和热喷涂。加拿大没有这样的倡议。IRCC将使整个行业都能获得创新，包括一些从未冒过风险或没有物质和财务手段从这些技术进步中受益的公司。CMQ现有的半工业规模的基础设施将加快新开发应用程序的上市速度，并帮助加拿大公司在全球经济中更具竞争力

With the technological advances made possible by the arrival of 3D printing, the Centre de métallurgie du Québec has stand out in Canada through its involvement in various consortiums and research groups. The Centre has become a recognized leader across Canada for its collaborative work on additive manufacturing through the addition of three 3D printing technologies. The impossibility of obtaining metal powders with custom chemical composition is the main problem that the CMQ and its partners has encountered in recent years. That problem had inhibited the development of new industrial applications. To compensate for this lack in the chain of innovation, CMQ and its partners desire to put together an NSERC Industrial Research Chair. This proposal will enable the development of custom metallic powders (aluminium, tool steel, titanium, nickel, aluminides, etc.) suitable, among others, to additive manufacturing technologies and thermal spraying. No such initiative exists in Canada. The IRCC will make innovation accessible to an entire industry, including several companies that would never have taken the risk or had the physical and financial means to benefit from these technological advances. The semi-industrial scale of the infrastructure present at CMQ will enhance the speed-to-market of newly developed applications and help Canadian companies to be more competitive in the global economy.**
