The EPMA has made available a course covering the use of nickel as feedstock for producing AM parts.
The organization has published videos and pdfs online covering:
- nickel processability with AM
- the main causes of cracking and how to avoid them
- the types and goals of heat treatment techniques
- interpreting the processability with AM for each alloy with different AM processes and feedstock
- the applications, recommending processing parameters and shielding gases to achieve quality requirements for a specific part
- recommended methods to avoid cracking phenomena and solid-state micro fissures, providing alternatives where necessary.
