Today, electron beam melting remains the only commercial additive manufacturing method able to support TiAl production requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Initially, the Arcam EBM Spectra H will support both TiAl and Alloy 718; additional nickel-base superalloys will be supported from 2019 onward. GE Additive\u2018s materials science team is currently exploring future opportunities for a wider range of high heat materials, including; nickel superalloys, tungsten, CoCr, stainless steel, and metal matrix composites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Arcam EBM Spectra H incorporates a range of new features and enhancements to drive down cost by increasing the productivity of the system. A 6kW HV-unit means that all pre- and post-heating steps take half the time compared with current EBM machines, increasing build speed by 50%. Build volume is increased by 39%, from 200x200x380mm, &nbsp;to \u00d8250x430mm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Reducing dependency on operators and incorporating automation technologies to improve accuracy has been in focus during the development of the Arcam EBM Spectra H. Closed<u> <\/u>powder<u> <\/u>handling maintains batch integrity and reduces the risk of contamination. The system includes an automated, self-dosing sieve and hopper filling station process. Powder weight is controlled in the PRS and inside the hopper filling station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ge.com\/additive\">www.ge.com\/additive<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GE Additive, Cincinnati, announces that it has purchased an Arcam EBM Spectra H metal additive manufacturing system, which is designed to handle materials susceptible to high heat and cracking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":63103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[444,440,441,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aerospace-and-defense","category-news","category-news-articles","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
