Tools for Alloy Development
The tools provide a easy to use and rapid data analysis. The underlying data is based on computational thermodynamics.
Al-Mg-Si Alloys for Additive Manufacturing by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)
This is a tool for selecting alloy compositions in the Al-Mg-Si system for additive manufacturing by laser powder bed fusion.
Aluminium Alloys for Additive Manufacturing by Laser Powder Bed Fusion
This is a tool for selecting alloying of Al-alloys for additive manufacturing by laser powder bed fusion.
The following composition ranges are treated: Al (base), 0-6wt%Mn, 0-2wt%Mg, 0-4wt%Cr, 0-1wt%Zr, 0-1wt%Sc, 0-1.4wt%Fe, 0-1.4wt%Si.
Martensitic Steel for Additive Manufacturing
This is a tool to select alloy compositions in a Fe-base alloy with Cr, Cr, Mo and Ni for additive manufacturing by laser powder bed fusion. Algorithms provide information on specific material properties. This enables optimisation of alloy compositions for specified properties.
Hardmetals, also called cemented carbides, are composite materials made of refractory metal carbides (such as tungsten carbide WC, titanium carbide TiC, etc.) and bonding metals (such as cobalt Co, nickel Ni, etc.). They are produced through powder metallurgy.
Tools to study the phase composition in Co-W-C and Co-Ti-W-C are available. The tools can be used to quickly and easily find the C-window in hardmetals, and the melting temperatures, for different compositions.
