Metal Additive Manufacturing for Aerospace AWS FABTECH – November 8, 2017 Honorary Symposium for Prof. T. DebRoy and Dr. Stan David Brandon D. Ribic, PhD Trusted to deliver excellence Metal additive manufacturing (AM) comes in 2 different forms Laser Powder Feed Directed Energy Deposition Laser or Electron Beam (LPFDED) Powder Bed Fusion • Heat source and feed stock characteristics impact process definition • Differences in process KPV’s or user controls • Physically there are many similarities AM benefits to the Aerospace Industry 3 • Legacy Products - Sustainment/maintenance • Fleet readiness - Reduced life cycle cost - Limited opportunity for new AM designs • “New” Products ( 5 years in production) - Part consolidation - Weight savings - Improve specific fuel consumption - Reduce emissions - Reduce life cycle costs How does metal AM meet these demands? 4 • Heat source (laser or electron beam) - Rapid cooling may give rise to better than cast mechanical properties - Tailor temperature profile to limit defect formation • Mass addition/feed stock form - Complex geometry restoration/production • Automation - Favorable machine tolerances - Repeatability – process specific Enable production of unique feature designs with sufficient mechanical performance Aerospace metal AM applications 5 Despite the benefits, many challenges 6 persist Design Inspection • Lack of performance data • Probability of detection
