Development of new titanium alloys for 3D printing

The aim of the project is to explore the development of new titanium alloys with improved properties and better adapted for powder‐bed additive manufacturing.

The research project will focus on the design of new titanium alloys with the aim of improving the performances of as‐fabricated structures using selective laser melting technology. The project will thus focus on the processing of new Ti alloys, on the assessment of the solidification and atomization conditions and on the resulting microstructures and mechanical properties of fabricated structures. Some insights in other metallic systems could be considered.
