Freemelt to Test Whether 3D Printing Can Improve Heat-Resistant Metal Parts for Defense

2026-10-16 · Impact score: 40

Swedish metal 3D printing company Freemelt has received a prototype order from a defense company operating in Sweden. The two parties are investigating whether additive manufacturing can enhance the performance of refractory metal components. Freemelt uses electron beam powder bed fusion technology to produce various parts for testing. The research focuses on material properties, manufacturing quality, and reliability. Interest in additive manufacturing within the defense sector is rising. The company recently received an order for tungsten components for fusion research.

Beam Shaping in LPBF of IN718: Top-Surface Morphology and Defect Mechanisms — Doubling Build Rate via Small Hatch Spacing and High Scan Speed Process Window

Robin Prudlik, Jonas Grünewald, Simon Sankaré, and Katrin Wudy from the Laser Additive Manufacturing team at the Technical University of Munich published a paper in Additive Manufacturing (October 2026 issue, DOI: 10.1016/j.addma.2026.105402) systematically investigating the effects of laser power, scan speed, and hatch spacing on the top-surface morphology and defect formation in IN718 processed by laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M), comparing Gaussian and ring beam profiles. The study shows that surface tension-driven melt pool instability is the core factor limiting productivity, particularly at high scan speeds (≳1600 mm/s) and large hatch spacings (≳0.15 mm). Hatch spacing is the primary trigger of surface irregularity, acting through control of inter-track remelting and transverse melt pool confinement; scan speed determines the morphology type and characteristic wavelength. Increasing hatch spacing reduces inter-track overlap, suppresses remelting-induced planarization, and induces unstable surface features; increasing scan speed shrinks the melt pool size, driving the surface from continuous to discontinuous states. Using ISO 25178 areal roughness parameters and a regularized classification framework, process maps were constructed: a planar top surface is achieved only at small hatch spacings, independent of beam shape; however, the combination of small hatch spacing and high scan speed maintains a planar top surface while increasing build rate by more than twofold compared to typical existing processes. Value for powder buyers: This study provides a new process window for IN718 powder under beam-shaping processes that balances surface quality and productivity. The small hatch spacing and high scan speed strategy imposes higher demands on powder batch consistency—sphericity, particle size distribution, and flowability directly affect melt pool stability at high scan speeds. When purchasing, verify the supplier's batch data and quality traceability documentation.

Titomic Awarded $250,000 Contract by Bechtel BPMI: TKF Cold Spray Technology to Evaluate U.S. Navy Submarine Repair Materials

Titomic USA (ASX: TTT) announced on October 16 that it has been awarded a contract by Bechtel Plant Machinery, Inc. (BPMI) to evaluate and develop advanced material solutions supporting the U.S. Navy submarine industrial base, with an initial order valued at $250,000 (approximately AUD 361,000). The collaboration centers on Titomic's proprietary TKF™ (Titomic Kinetic Fusion) cold spray additive manufacturing technology, which uses solid-state metal powder deposition (without melting) to achieve high-performance coatings, repairs, and near-net-shape components with minimal heat-affected zones and preserved material properties. The two parties will jointly explore advanced repair materials and manufacturing processes for future U.S. Navy programs, including submarine repair. Titomic plans to further introduce the TKF cold spray process into broader defense applications such as rapid production, component repair, and advanced material development to enhance readiness and reduce lifecycle costs. The announcement was made from Huntsville, Alabama, USA. CEO Jim Simpson stated that the future belongs to companies that dare to challenge traditional manufacturing methods and co-develop entirely new capabilities. Previously in an exploratory collaboration phase, this contract marks a substantive advancement of the partnership. Value to powder buyers: ① The defense repair demand signal for spherical metal powders (titanium, aluminum, nickel-based, refractory metals, DED/cold spray feed-grade particle sizes) is strengthening; ② if the U.S. submarine industrial base repair material evaluation is successful, it will bring opportunities for supporting powder supply and qualification; ③ Titomic's deeper integration into the U.S. defense supply chain benefits long-term order expectations for its partner powder suppliers.

Rolls-Royce 2026 Innovation Award Goes to MIM Sinter Joining Research: A New Route for Forming Complex Inconel 713LC Parts

On October 16, the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) reported that a metal injection moulding (MIM) sinter joining study by Rolls-Royce Deutschland and Fraunhofer IFAM received the Rolls-Royce 2026 Innovation Award in the publication category. Conducted under the German aviation research programme LuFo KOMPAKT, the paper "A study on a method of sinter joining in the metal injection moulding process" was co-authored by Mikael Luoto, Enrico Daenicke, Ralf Müller and Thomas Hartwig (presented at Euro PM2024). The study validated a new process route: separately formed MIM green parts are solvent (acetone) debound, butted together with a bonding paste, and then integrated through sintering, enabling geometries that cannot be formed by conventional single-shot moulding. The test material was the low-carbon nickel-based superalloy Inconel 713LC, and three pastes were compared—a system-specific polymer paste, a standard polymer paste, and a filler-containing polymer paste. Mechanical testing showed that the tensile strength of joined parts was comparable to that of unjoined parent material (with a slight decrease in elongation), creep (stress-rupture) performance matched the parent material, and fatigue performance was somewhat reduced, with each of the three pastes showing different strengths. The team successfully produced a "shell" demonstrator that cannot be formed by conventional MIM, indicating the method's feasibility for volume production. Value for powder buyers: (1) sinter joining opens up multi-part assembled complex structures for MIM, favouring demand for superalloy MIM feedstocks such as Inconel 713LC (fine powder grades plus binder systems); (2) the adoption of MIM for assemblies such as turbochargers and small aviation parts will expand fine powder procurement scenarios, and suppliers can position ahead of time according to MIM particle size standards; (3) fatigue performance still needs improvement, so track Rolls-Royce's aviation part qualification progress and the pace of process scale-up.
