New Sustainable Alloys for Additive Manufacturing: Experimental Validation of Alloy Design Tool

Reference number
Coordinator Innomat AB
Funding from Vinnova SEK 150 000
Project duration May 2025 - April 2026
Status Completed
Venture Competence centre

Important results from the project

The project is an SME project within Vinnovas competenscenter CAM2 and studies methods for developing new powder alloys for additive manufacturing. A quick and easy tool for selecting alloy compositions with minimal risk of hot cracking has been developed by Innomat. The objective of the project is to validate this tool experimentally. For this, three different powder compositions have been selected and manufactured, which exceed the target.

Expected long term effects

The project is expected to increase the use of the alloy development tool provided by Innomat. In the long term, new types of Al-Mg-Si alloys can be developed based on the project results.

Approach and implementation

The project is an SME project within CAM2. The design and implementation have been discussed within the center for the best results. The collaboration has worked excellently. The schedule was a bit too optimistic considering that the experimental parts of the project have been difficult to plan.

The project description has been provided by the project members themselves and the text has not been looked at by our editors.
