| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing (AM) is garnering interest for the production of functional parts in the Canadian Energy Industry, specifically in the mining sector. However, the current available laser based and electron beam technologies are unable to meet the size and productivity requirements for this industry. Several approaches in AM are being explored and will be discussed: Plasma-Transfer Arc (PTA-AM) and Fused Filament Fabrication. For both techniques 60wt%WC-Ni alloy metal matrix composite is used and 17-4PH is used in PTA-AM. This talk will present on-line sensing that is used for each of the AM techniques as well as some simple geometries produced and their characterization. The role of powder quality will also be addressed and a comparison with weld overlay coatings will be presented. |
