| Abstract Scope |
MELD Manufacturing has developed and implemented a solid-state additive manufacturing technology that can print large scale and near-net shape parts with wrought properties. The marine industry demands high-performance alloys that can withstand harsh environments and exhibit superior mechanical properties. Traditional manufacturing methods often face challenges in terms of complex geometries, material waste, and performance all of which has led to very long lead times and expensive tooling requirements which the AFSD process can address even for low volume parts. In addition, repairing damaged components in situ can be costly, time-consuming and in some cases not feasible with conventional methods. This talk will discuss the potential of additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) for fabrication of parts and repair applications. This work will present material performance and characterization of selected naval alloys such as titanium, aluminum, and steel. |
