The first wall and blanket of a fusion energy reactor must maintain structural integrity and performance over long operational periods under neutron irradiation and minimize long-lived radioactive waste.
Complex protective casings and housings are necessary for many applications, including combustion chambers of gas turbines used in aerospace engines. Manufacturing these components from forging and/or casting as a whole is challenging, costly, and time-consuming.
Compliance in a part, work holding, or base plate is beneficial for certain processes, but detrimental for machining and material removal.
In additive manufacturing large stresses are induced in the build plate and part interface. A result of theses stresses are deformations in the build plate and final component.
In wire-arc additive manufacturing and hot-wire laser additive manufacturing, wire is fed into a melt pool and melted through the arc or laser process.
In manufacturing parts for industry using traditional molds and dies, about 70 percent to 80 percent of the time it takes to create a part is a result of a relatively slow cooling process.
This technology aims to provide and integrated and oxidation resistant cladding or coating onto carbon-based composites in seconds.
