BLT unveils high-strength aluminum and Ti65 powders for additive manufacturing
In a significant advancement for the aerospace and industrial sectors, Bright Laser Technologies (BLT) has recently unveiled its latest innovations in metal powder tailored for additive manufacturing. Leveraging its extensive research and development capabilities, BLT is launching new high-strength aluminum for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and BLT-Ti65 for Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes, providing comprehensive turnkey solutions that cater to the complex demands of modern manufacturing. BLT-AlAM500 High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Boosts Industrial Manufacturing Quality High-strength aluminum alloys are renowned for their exceptional strength, thermal stability, and superior processing performance. These materials are prominently used in the aerospace sector for aircraft structural components, and engine parts. Beyond aerospace, high-strength aluminum alloys are also essential in high-speed trains, lightweight automotive parts, and premium sports equipment. However, producing these alloys using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology often presents challenges such as cracking and poor component density. BLT has optimised the process parameters for high-strength aluminum alloys, overcoming the difficulties of manufacturing complex, large-sized components with integrated structures and achieving high yield rates. In May this year, leveraging its extensive manufacturing experience with high-strength aluminum alloy components, BLT launched the new high-strength aluminum alloy BLT-AlAM500, specifically designed for aerospace applications. At TCT Asia 2024, BLT showcased parts like the bent tube, ventilation duct, and connecting pipe made from this material. The bent tube, ventilation duct, and connecting pipe printed in BLT-AlAM500. These components, characterised by thin-walled, irregularly shaped tubular structures with internal cavities, demand high precision and quality. Traditional manufacturing methods are complex, challenging, and costly. BLT optimised the design of these parts, using the high-strength aluminum alloy BLT-AlAM500 and the our Metal LPBF printing machine BLT-S400 for integrated manufacturing. Each part takes approximately 30 hours to form, achieving an average weight reduction of around 20%. The parts exhibit […]
