| Abstract: |
Work proposed for this Phase I involves utilizing existing EBDM technology with newly incorporated closed loop process controls to develop optimized parameters for thermal management of the process intended to improve microstructure and mechanical properties over those previously obtained using high deposition rate parameters. |
| Benefits: |
By characterizing the parameters which directly effect microstructure and properties it is anticipated that this will help generate industry acceptance of this process. By combining these parameters with process controls overall repeatability and quality are expected to be maintained in a production environment. |
