Laser directed energy deposition of functionally graded materials on porous metals (B01)

• Subject Area: Joining and Separation Technology
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 511263698

Graded material layers on porous metals will lead to new, previously unavailable material systems with locally defined adjusted material properties. Such FGMs offer significant potential for saving weight, reducing inertia and optimising the functionality of components. In this project, it will be researched how layers with different compositional material gradations can be deposited on porous metals using powder-based L-DED. Therefore, suitable manufacturing strategies developed. These form the basis for the manufacturing of HyPo-components using L-DED.
