approaches
These two approaches, in
tandem with intelligent and fast
material adoption strategies,
have proven to be a winner. The
Barnes Global Advisors (TBGA),
Metal Powder Works (MPW), and
the Multi-Scale Additive
Manufacturing Lab (MSAM) have
partnered up to do just that.
The collaborative efforts dove
right into printing high-strength
aluminum alloys for the aviation
sector, as part of the Air Force
Advanced Manufacturing
Olympics a couple of years back.
The aviation sector drives
demand for advances in
aluminum materials and additive
manufacturing processes to
produce high-strength
sustainment parts. The challenge
is that conventional highstrength
aluminum alloys are
susceptible to cracks in laser
powder bed fusion additive
manufacturing. The MSAM/TBGA
group went from no prior
experience in printing Al-Sc

alloys to technically sound parts with superior
mechanical properties and surface quality in less than
two weeks, earning a Silver Medal on the
Manufacturing Olympics podium (Figure 1). All this
was achieved thanks to advances in modeling theory,
in tandem with laser beam modulation and beam
focus control, and most importantly, competent AM
expertise of the groups.
What started as a fun, yet challenging experience is
now maturing into formal material adoption
campaigns for 7xxx, 6xxx, and 4xxx series Al-alloys
and various Cu-alloys produced using a mechanical
micro-milling process through the Metal Powder
