Metal 3D printing as a disruptive technology for superalloys
Chinnapat Panwisawas, Yuanbo T. Tang, Roger C. Reed
Abstract
3D printing can allow for the efficient manufacturing of elaborate structures difficult to realise conventionally without waste, such as the hollow geometries of nickel-based superalloy aeronautic components. To fully exploit this method, we must move towards new alloys and processes.
