| Abstract Scope |
Refractory alloys have extraordinary resistance to heat, wear, and with superior durability, often the desired material for extreme environment applications for space craft, missiles, and hypersonic vehicles. Their high cost of manufacturing into complex shapes have impeded their application in the most demanding environment. Additive manufacturing has demonstrated superior shape producing capability that could not be possibly produced with conventional manufacturing processes. The AM also thrust the refractory alloys into much higher performance materials comparing to its wrought equivalent. With integrated engineering functions such as heat pipes for effective thermal management, catalyst beds for efficient thrust control, the integrated AM enabled 3D printed refractory structures have permitted spacecraft higher performance in the extreme application environments. In this presentation, progress in achieving high quality and high performance refractory components by additive manufacturing are reported. Case studies of performance gain in sophisticated engineering hardware will also be presented. |
