Correlative study towards experimental validation of the high throughput methodology (S02)

• Subject Area: Metallurgical, Thermal and Thermomechanical Treatment of Materials
• Term: from 2016 to 2020
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 276397488

In this subproject, sampling points will be generated, i.e. various alloys will be cast and mechanically tested. Furthermore, A new microdescriptor ‘processability’ will be established. This allows determining in a high-throughput methodology whether a material is suitable for processing by Laser Powder Bed Melting (LBM) and which process parameters are optimal. The methodology is applied to the development of new Al-base alloys as alternatives to established alloys with high hot cracking susceptibility and low recyclability. The mechanical properties of the alloys are tested and their microstructure is analysed by high-resolution microscopy (APT).
