New ABD-900AM Material for Metal Additive Manufacturing

Aubert & Duval — a world leader in high-performance steel, superalloy, aluminum or titanium parts and metal powders — and Alloyed (formerly OxMet Technologies) — which delivers next-generation performance for metal components through its unique stack of technologies — will be hosting a Webinar on July 1^st 2020 focussing on ABD®-900AM innovative material for additive manufacturing.

ABD®-900AM is an age-hardenable Ni-based superalloy created specifically for the demands of AM. The alloy was designed to provide an improved combination of high strength, high creep- and oxidation resistance, and excellent manufacturability compared with alloys commonly used for AM. This has been confirmed by performance assessment on ABD-900AM using laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The printability of the alloy using LPBF shows high resistance to cracking and ~99.9% density.

Designed for use at high temperatures up to 900°C / 1650°F, ABD®-900AM has been tailored for AM by Alloyed not just for high mechanical properties, but also for excellent printability. Compared with Ni718, ABD®‑900AM provides a minimum of 30% improvement in yield stress at temperatures >800°C and a creep temperature capability improvement by up to 150^oC – similar to alloy 939 and alloy 738.

Will Dick-Cleland, Additive Manufacturing Engineer at Alloyed, and Adeline Riou, Global Sales Manager at Aubert & Duval will provide an overview of material properties as well as various case studies of interest for space, aircraft engines, gas turbines, and motorsports.
