Quasicrystalline Enhancements To Complex Metal Alloys For AM
The breadth of materials for additive manufacturing (AM) continues to be a nascent primary preventative obstacle for the permutations of application of the processes. That breadth continues to grow year on year, with increases in applicable material properties among that range, and decreases in production cost relative to advances in hardware production methodologies. Some materials are confined to specific modulations of AM technologies via technological hardware restrictions, others are limited by propitiatory dynamics whereby internal R&D and external research collaborations are yet to be, will not be, or cannot be, established. There has been a growth in the use of advanced materials in AM, which has been a key variable in the proportional increase of production application of AM for end-use products.
