Abstract Scope |
Utilizing FormAlloy’s own award-winning Alloy Development Feeder (ADF), a patent-pending powder feeder with 16 small hoppers, and computational approaches based on the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHAse Diagrams) method, FormAlloy Technologies, Inc can make functionally graded material (FGM) material systems with high precision transition zones for both surface coatings and components with complex geometries and features, with the potential to scale the process up. The additive manufacturing (AM) process that shall utilize the ADF and CALPHAD approaches will be the versatile Directed Energy Deposition (DED) process. |
