Entering a new age of real low-cost Titanium for Additive Manufacturing with IperionX.
Used for everything from cars, medical implants, jewelry to heat exchangers and more, titanium is appealing for its lightweight, strong, stable properties and ability to withstand corrosion. Its low density and high strength make...
An OpeN-AM experimental platform enables to study the microscopic behavior of additive metal welds as they’re being created
The experimental platform system is called OpeN-AM, with OpeN being short for operando neutrons, a term for using neutrons to study something while it’s operating, and AM for additive manufacturing.
Researchers at the Department of...
GKN Aerospace and Northrop Grumman achieve their largest Titanium 3D Printed Aerostructure Component
Imagine a component that measures 8 feet (2.5 meters) and processed from approximately 100 pounds (45 kg) of titanium. This is exactly the type of additive manufacturing production I would like to see by...
New 3D Printed Nuclear Component is in Operation. Installed by Framatome at Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant
Designer and supplier of nuclear equipment Framatome first appeared on our radar two years ago. It had just 3D printed uranium-molybdenum and uranium-silicon objects. Fast forward to today: the company announces the successful installation...
AM Materials: IperionX produces low-carbon spherical titanium from Tennessee minerals
Materials producer IperionX Limited is on a mission to scaling Titanium production for additive manufacturing with 100% recycled titanium metal as feedstock. For the US-based manufacturer, one way to achieve that is to rely...
Westinghouse achieves another premiere in nuclear AM: the fabrication and installation of a 3D Printed Fuel Debris Filter
The first application of additive manufacturing in the nuclear industry was a 3D printed thimble plugging device fabricated by Westinghouse and installed at Exelon’s Byron Unit 1 nuclear plant. that was two years ago.
