ADAPT-EBM is about the development of the electron beam melting process with titanium for the manufacture of future aircraft engine components.
The project aims to employ a “Gränsgångare” (from GKN to UW) to improve understanding on fatigue behaviour of additively manufactured material with a long-term view to be able to predict fatigue life of AM parts.
The project contributes to technology maturity of manufacturing method and components for fossil-free propulsion and energy supply through improved and validated predictive ability in modeling L-PBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) of titanium to enable manufacturing of large complex components with high quality.
Hydrogen has been identified as one of the fuels of the future for aviation.GKN Aerospace, together with six partners, is investing in the development of key components for hydrogen-powered aircraft engines. University West will contribute expert knowledge in metallurgy.
This project aims to increase understanding of how, and why, hydrogen embrittlement and its various mechanisms occur.
The overall purpose of this project is to enhance the understanding of the microstructure evolution in the Ni base superalloys Mar-M-247 and Haynes 282, respectively, during additive manufacturing (AM) by powder bed fusion-electron beam (PBF-EB).
Powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of metal (PBF-AM) is an important research area for the manufacturing industry. This form of additive manufacturing makes it possible to manufacture components with complex geometries in a more efficient way. Among other applications of interest are components for gas turbines and aircraft engines.
The research project Replab focus on additive manufacturing technologies (AM) for the field of re-manufacturing and repair to develop an economic, environmental and social long-term sustainable development.
University West has been engaged in research in Additive Manufacturing for more than 15 years, and one of these processes involves a laser beam that melts a metal wire layer-on-layer (called Laser Directed Energy Deposition with wire, L-DEDw), which is the process that this project is focused on.
The aim of the project is to strengthen the regional business community through strategic cooperation in additive manufacturing between the space industry and the University West.
GKN Aerospace, Swerea SWECAST and University West in Sweden will work together with the German titanium casting supplier ARCONIC Bestwig with the target of improving the design of engine structures for improved castability
