Kick-Off
On July 11, 2023, the partners, IBB and the review team met to get to know each other and get an overview of the Phase II roadmap. Research topics include design for additive manufacturing, life cycle analysis, process and material development, robotic post-processing, FEM simulations, high-energy synchrotron experiments, powder/support structure recycling, and more.

With us:
In the project, BAM is developing new methods for in-situ quality assurance and an understanding of microstructure development and creep behavior. In this way, we are contributing to the safe and reliable use of AM components.

Science, research and education
Following the successful completion of HTA2.0 at the end of 2022, the 2nd phase will start in January 2023 with a duration until June 2025. Here, we welcome new partners within the HTA network and look forward to working together.
What it’s all about
High-temperature applications involve the development and production of components that come into contact with the hot gas jet, which reaches temperatures of well over 1000 degrees Celsius, in high-efficiency gas-fired power plants. To ensure their function and service life, additive manufacturing is used to implement innovative concepts that are not technically feasible using conventional manufacturing processes.
Aims of the research project
Development of new additive manufacturing processes and components for high-temperature components in large gas turbines, taking into account sustainable product development.
Motivation
The focus of the 2nd phase is the extension of the Design for Additive Manufacturing method with further processes (wire-based generation of large components DED-Arc, selective laser beam melting with high-temperature preheating and selective electron beam melting PBF-EB/M in powder bed) and the aspect of life cycle analysis (LCA). In this context, process and material development for the DED-Arc and PBF-EB/M processes will be brought to a higher level of maturity.
Furthermore, the topic of post-processing of additively manufactured components is being given greater attention in order to enable automated and small-series processing. In addition, the recycling of metal powders and support structures will be highlighted, with the aim of achieving greater resource efficiency and thus contributing to the economic presentation of AM components.
