A New Science-Based Paradigm Enabling Microstructure-Tailored Additive Manufacturing of Metals

Manyalibo Matthews | 18-SI-003

Executive Summary

We are developing new capabilities in the design and production of additively-manufactured metal parts with tailored microstructures that meet stringent performance requirements for certification. This research has broad applications to industry and directly supports national missions in nuclear weapons life extension.
