Learn what it takes to develop a new cold spray powder—and how guest blogger

Boyertown, PA – September 24, 2024 – Global Advanced Metals (GAM), a leading global producer of metallurgical products, is pleased to announce a new partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to re-establish defense-critical niobium oxide production. The project, supported by a $26.4 million award from the Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization directorate, leverages GAM’s existing tantalum production in Boyertown, Pennsylvania.

The authors of this report include the following individuals from the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office: Alaa Elwany, Christopher Hovanec, Nick Lalena.

In this webinar, SPEE3D's CTO Steven Camilleri, will provide an overview of the material development of SPEE3D's Nickel Aluminium Bronze using a cold spray additive manufacturing process comparing the performance of the alloy with and without hot isostatic pressing.

Additive Manufacturing, specifically Laser Powder Bed Fusion, is being explored by academic, industrial, and regulatory entities for technical feasibility, cost effectiveness, and safety of fabricating components for nuclear power plant applications. Laser Powder Bed Fusion is capable of fabricating highly complex geometries, and in some applications can reduce assemblies of 10s of parts to a single as- fabricated component. In conventional manufacturing the material properti
