Specialized furnaces with integrated presses provide superior control of pressure and temperature to create better diffusion bonds when joining similar or dissimilar metals.
Diffusion bonding has been utilized to join high strength and refractory metals — those that are either difficult or impossible to weld by other means — for many years.
A Southeast Asian aerospace parts manufacturer purchased a dual-purpose electron-beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) and EB welding system. The machine, designed and manufactured by Sciaky Inc., will be customized with special controls to switch from 3D printing to welding.
While additive manufacturing (AM) is a boon for specialized metal aerospace components, medical devices and custom implants, mass production of automotive components using 3D printing, or AM, may still seem a way off. Yet there are areas where the auto industry is already leveraging 3D-printing technology in its design and manufacturing strategies.
This article will review those areas and the role of metal powders and industrial gases in several AM processes that involve laser metal fusion and laser metal deposition. It will also discuss how industrial gas technologies are helping to address the challenges ahead.
Sigma Labs Inc., a developer of inspection systems for metal-based additive manufacturing and other advanced manufacturing technologies, has agreed to form a joint venture company with Cincinnati-based Arete Innovative Solutions LLC.
