Additive Manufacturing & Powder Metallurgy - An R&D excursion at Air Liquide

Fabian van Rossum - ALTEC Manager South West Europe - Air Liquide

Quentin Mandou - R&D Engineer - Air Liquide

Industrial gases have a very important role in many Powder Metallurgy and Additive Manufacturing processes. In this session, Air Liquide will highlight some R&D projects and excursions in these domains and contribution to the powder production and Additive Manufacturing ecosystem. It has the ambition to develop innovative gas applications and solutions which improve productivity, efficiency, product quality and sustainability. This exposition will illustrate three specific examples of R&D projects at Air Liquide: PBF-L gas shield homogeneity & part quality as a matter of gas flow characterization, WAAM productivity with inter pass waiting time reduction by cryogenic gas cooling and metal powder atomization by Arc-Spray Process.
