With the rapid acceleration of additive manufacturing (AM) throughout industry, there is a need for high-quality, affordable metal powders. Material requirements can vary depending on the process and system used, and frequently custom process parameters for new powder must be developed. Whether you are a powder developer looking to certify your product or a manufacturer...

While the VDA tight bend radius test is the standard in industry, it does not measure strain fracture limits. EWI has created a new bendability testing method that combines the VDA test with digital image correlation (DIC) to produce much more accurate results. The experiments conducted to validate this new approach tested seven different advanced...

The ASTM has designated two process categories for metal additive manufacturing (AM), directed energy deposition (DED) and powder bed fusion. DED processes build shapes bead by bead, layer by layer, using robotic or CNC systems via computer-aided modeling (CAM) software with either wire, powder, or some combination of these consumables. There are multiple processes used...
