New LPBF Validation Targets Crack-Free Copper-Nickel Alloy Aerospace Parts
Chinese metal additive manufacturing equipment maker Eplus3D has collaborated with Young-Will Aerospace to validate a laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process for copper-nickel (CuNi) alloy aerospace components. The project produced crack-free parts with a tensile strength of 570 MPa, 18% above what conventional forging achieves for the same alloy. The result is worth pausing on,…
