| Abstract: |
Additive manufacturing achieves increasingly more acceptance for industrial applications. Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing (EBAM) supplies a very efficient, high power energy source which easily couples with metals promising one of the highest deposition rates for all metal additive manufacturing technologies. The processing in high vacuum is ideal for reactive alloys. CNC is standard for most of the EBW set-ups allowing easy application of an automated build strategy.
This presentation aims to present an overview of EBAM builds realised at the Nuclear AMRC. A variety of complex shaped components made out of different materials such as steel and titanium and their mechanical properties will be presented. The implication of different deposition strategies will be discussed.
