| Abstract Scope |
For companies seeking to adopt additive manufacturing, there is the simultaneous desire to rapidly qualify new AM processes for existing alloys as well as the recognition that, perhaps, new alloys with an improved balance of properties might be possible. In both, it is necessary to rapidly relate the most important aspects of the process to a material state that is predictable and well-behaved. A prototypical ICME approach might be suitable to understand process-property relationships, but is insufficient for new alloy design. Such insufficiency is due to: (i) a lack of understanding on which details of the process are most important (it depends?) and (ii) the wide composition space that exists for future alloys. We give examples of tools that have been used in AM-ICME frameworks, while discussing important technical gaps, simultaneously arguing for new tools and data that are required to conduct alloy design effectively and efficiently. |
