(June 18th, 2020) Material developments are vital as industry moves to use metal additive manufacturing (AM) in an array of demanding and often safety critical applications.

Aubert & Duval — a world leader in high-performance steel, superalloy, aluminium or titanium parts and metal powders — and Alloyed (formerly OxMet Technologies) — which delivers next generation performance for metal components through its unique stack of technologies — will be hosting a Webinar on July 1st 2020 focussing on ABD®-900AM innovative material for additive manufacturing.

ABD®-900AM is an age-hardenable Ni-based superalloy created specifically for the demands of AM. The alloy was designed to provide an improved combination of high strength, high creep- and oxidation-resistance, and excellent manufacturability compared with alloys commonly used for AM. This has been confirmed by performance assessment on ABD-900AM using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The printability of the alloy using LPBF shows a high resistance to cracking and ~99.9% density.

Designed for use at high temperatures up to 900°C / 1650°F, ABD®-900AM has been tailored for AM by Alloyed not just for high mechanical properties, but also for excellent printability. Compared with Ni718, ABD®‑900AM provides a minimum of 30% improvement in yield stress at temperatures >800°C and a creep temperature capability improvement by up to 150oC - similar to alloy 939 and alloy 738.

Will Dick-Cleland, Additive Manufacturing Engineer at Alloyed, and Adeline Riou, Global Sales Manager at Aubert & Duval will provide an overview of material properties as well as various case studies of interest for space, aircraft engines, gas turbines, and motorsports.



The Webinar will last 30 minutes, and is free to attend. It will begin Wednesday July 1st 2020 at 17.00 Central Europe Time (UTC+2).
