Laser Additive Manufacturing System for Ultra-High Temperature Materials (LAMS-UHTMs)

Abstract

This proposal is to purchase a unique, custom-designed Laser Additive Materials (LAM) system for Ultra High Temperature Materials (UHTMs), which adopts an innovative blue laser technology that allowssubstantially better adsorption of the laser energy than the conventional infrared lasers used in virtually all commercial LAM systems. Moreover, the proposed LAMS-UHTMs instrument is equipped with a high-temperature in-situ thermal imaging system to enable better control of the process and a better understanding of the underlying processing science. Such unique equipment is not currently available elsewhere.
