Researchers at HRL Laboratories LLC have designed a new method that enables high-strength aluminum alloys, as well as high-strength steels and nickel-based superalloys, to be used in 3D printing. Their research, including how they overcame hot cracking during the manufacturing process, was published in Nature.
More than 125 presentations of original, unpublished work will be delivered when the ASM Heat Treating Society convenes for its 29th conference and exhibition in Columbus, Ohio, October 24-26. The information exchanged in these sessions – as researchers and practitioners share their latest discoveries, theories, and advancements – will have a significant impact on design and manufacturing innovation as well as the fortunes of industry.
