Widely employed in aero and energy industry, superalloys have relatively poor machinability, which is not surprising because of their excellent mechanical properties even in demanding environment. Additive manufacturing (AM) provides a near-net shaping solution with excellent precision by depositing materials layer-by-layer. This project focus on the microstructure and mechanical properties of high strength superalloys produced by AM-methods and on process optimisation of the materials manufacturing methods.
