738 Nickel Alloy Modified for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB)
Description
Optimized for Processing in Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) Systems
MetcoAdd 738, is a high gamma prime nickel based superalloy where composition has been modified to improve the printability of the alloy to minimize cracking known to be present in printing the cast composition. The alloy powder has been proven to demonstrate minimal to crack free print. Printability depends on machine type, optimized parameters and process variables.
Heat treated material properties at room temperature have been shown to be comparable to those of AMS 5410. Printed and heat treated samples of the modified composition have shown favorable hardness and 816°C (1500°F) tensile strength when compared with conventionally cast and heat treated material.
