SAE International发布了Norsk Titanium Rapid等离子体沉积的第一条规范

航天additive manufacturing companyNorsk Titaniumand global standards bodySAE Internationalhave released the first technical specifications for direct energy deposition (DED)-made parts. Encompassing Norsk’s Rapid Plasma Deposition (RPD) technology, the specifications will help broaden the company’s customer base, and help third parties maintain appropriate standards.

Michael Canario, President and CEO at Norsk Titanium, comments, “Our engineers have thoroughly enjoyed working with the SAE team to validate our proprietary process with the engineering community,”

“ RPD™对于当前的减法制造业确实是一个破坏性的过程,不仅支持供应商,而且支持最终用户。”

质量保证金属3D打印

Norsk Titanium RPD is the technology used to build波音的第一个结构支持的3D印刷组件- 787 Dreamliner的上翼部分。在Merke IV中,NORSK的第四代添加剂制造系统,RPD的零件构建大小为900mm x 600mm x 300mm,典型的沉积速率在5至10 kg/hr之间。

In the interests of the stringent aerospace industry standards, RPD is also monitored “more than 600 times per second” according to Norsk, to assure part quality.

The new SAE Aerospace Materials Specifications (AMS) developed by Norsk will help support its diligence with international regulatory requirements.

DED的SAE航空航天材料规格

在SAE添加剂制造委员会(SAE AMS-AM)中开发了新的DED规格,详细介绍了航空航天和非AEROSPACE客户RPD制造零件所需的最低基础。这些文件分别为:

– AMS7004 “Titanium Alloy Preforms from Plasma Arc Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing on Substrate Ti-6Al-4V Stress Relieved

and

– AMS7005 “Wire Fed Plasma Arc Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing Process

The both are especially beneficial to the aerospace industry, they are also applicable to blanket DED technologies operating in other verticals.

A “critical emerging technology”

Norsk Titnaium currently operates out of Hønefoss, Norway, and Plattsburgh, New York. Since its establishment, the company’s facility in Plattsburgh has recieved地方政府的重大支持, 包含$125 million in state funding提高其生产。2018年6月,该网站正式添加到波音公司合格的生产者列表。作为波音公司的第一层制造商,Spirit Aerosystems也从该验证中受益,获得了其第一款合格的,RPD制造的部分在今年1月

Concluding the most recent advance from the company David Alexander, Director of Aerospace Standards at SAE International, said, “Given that advanced materials and advanced manufacturing are strategic focus areas for SAE International, we continue to support the aerospace industry’s advances and adoption of additive manufacturing technologies.”

“As well as contributing vital technical expertise, Norsk Titanium played a leadership role as document sponsor in the development of the groundbreaking new specifications and along with the other AMS-AM output, these new material and process specifications help address the regulatory authorities’ request for guidance material for this critical emerging technology.”
