Tailored Metal AM materials

You want it hard or soft ❓ Tailor the mechanical properties of your material to use full potential of the #MetalAM process ❗ Learn more on #MaterialsMonday

Why just use the LPBF process for the production of complex parts, when you can also realize function-optimized and voxel-based tuning of your material structure and resulting mechanical properties 🤔

With synchronized dual-laser LPBF processing 💥💥 you can modify the thermal gradients and thus the resulting properties.

✔️ An adjustable increase in as-printed microhardness of up to 15% from 411 HV up to 471 HV
✔️ A consistent melt pool structure due to elaborated exposure strategy
✔️ New possibilities to produce functionally graded material structures by dual-laser LPBF processing
