PROJECT INFORMATION

DESCRIPTION

NANONTUN3D will take advantage of the possibilities of Additive Manufacturing (AM) together with the development of a specially tailored Ti- based nano-aditived material to achieve dramatic improvements in structural parts of aero, space, mobility, and equipment sectors, reaching expected savings between 40% and 50% of material in critical applications. inherent benefits of AM will be kept (decrease in throughput times, tool-less production, high buy-to-fly-run ratios, etc.).

Impact

Develop a raw material (metal powder) to be processed by additive manufacturing techniques with powder bed fusion -selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM)- based on a nanomodified Ti6Al4V alloy with enhanced structural performance versus standard alloy (tensile properties 30-40% better; hardness, fatigue and wear properties enhanced 20-30%, and high temperature properties enhanced 15-25%, with no weight penalty).
