HRL 3D prints high-strength aluminum solving ages-old welding problem using nanoparticles

HRL has developed a 3D printing technique for high-strength aluminum alloys. The additive manufacturing method can used with variants of Al7075 and Al6061. The work opens the door to additive manufacturing of engineering-relevant alloys. Essentially, the researchers have taken a non-weldable metal, and made it weldable. This is important because while 3D printing has many […]
