CoorsTek presents at ASPE Annual Meeting on ceramics for precision engineering

🔍 What happens when additive manufacturing meets CFD simulation? We put a gyroid lattice under the microscope - and the results were fascinating. From meshing challenges to flow insights, this study reveals how advanced geometry impacts real-world performance. How uniform is the flow? What happens to pressure drop as velocity climbs? Can gyroids really redefine heat exchanger design?

🌍 We continue to strengthen our global collaborations and project partnerships. In the field of additive manufacturing, particularly within cold spray technology, the demand for high-strength and lightweight materials used in aerospace applications — including component production, repair, and coating — is rapidly increasing. In this context, we are focusing on the development of next-generation 7xxx series aluminum alloys. Following the alloy design and validation studies, ultrasonic atomization will be employed through our international partners for powder production. Subsequently, cold spray nozzle design, process monitoring, and optimization studies will be carried out, leading to the final field testing phase. The growing interest from leading players in the civil aviation industry further strengthens our project and motivates our team toward excellence. 🤝 I would like to thank all our team members and project partners for their valuable contributions. Looking forward to achieving many more successful projects together. #AdditiveManufacturing #ColdSpray #AerospaceMaterials #AdvancedAlloys #UltrasonicAtomization #HighStrengthAluminum #7xxxSeries #MaterialsScience #Innovation #ResearchAndDevelopment #Collaboration #AerospaceEngineering #SustainableManufacturing #PowderMetallurgy #Teamwork

Formnext - Where ideas take shape is just around the corner, and we are excited to present a small, but powerful upgrade to the 225 kV X-ray tube available for the FF35 CT and FF85 CT, the new High Density Power (HDP) Target. The new HDP Target unlocks even more resolution at stunning speed, as you can see in the example of a wire arc additively manufactured part provided to our application center from the ISF - Welding and Joining Institute at RWTH Aachen University. With the same form factor and water-cooled stability of the regular high-power target, this new HDP target improves the power density available by a factor of 2. This enables a considerable increase in the usable X-ray dose at smaller focal spot sizes, ultimately leading to faster inspection without sacrificing resolution. The below comparison is a perfect example of the improvement possible. At a constant power of 200W, the increased power density of the HDP target enabled a significantly smaller focal spot size, doubling the resolution of the scan and enabling smaller defects to be inspected even more accurately with no loss in imaging speed.   Want to see this new HDP target in action? Then join us at booth #11 – C31 in Frankfurt and make sure to bring a test-part to demo! Our team will be happy to welcome you Can’t make it to Frankfurt? No problem, our team will gladly take you through the benefits of the FF35 CT with it’s new HDP Target. Contact us today!

The ASTM International Conference on Advanced Manufacturing (ICAM 2025) was a massive success, gathering 1,100+ experts to push the boundaries of AM. A standout presentation came REM Surface Engineering's very own Dr. Agustin Diaz, who presented vital research for high-performance components, especially in aerospace and space applications. Dr. Diaz's presentation, "Post-Processing Effects on Surface Roughness and Mechanical Properties of Metal-Based Powder Bed Fusion Components..." focused on solving the inherent issues of Additive Manufacturing (AM) surfaces: - Problem: Surface-Related Defects (SRDs) and high roughness lead to early fatigue failure and reduced corrosion resistance in PBF parts. Near-surface porosity, particularly in alloys like F357, is a critical issue. - Solution: The research investigates how a combined approach of Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP), heat treatment, and chemical-based surface finishing can uniformly remove material and defects. - Impact: By characterizing microstructural evolution and testing mechanical properties across a wide range of alloys (including Ti-6Al-4V, 316L, and Haynes 282), this work is essential for developing optimized post-processing strategies that ensure AM components meet stringent industry standards. Kudos to Dr. Diaz and the REM team for advancing the reliability and performance of AM technology. #ICAM2025 #AdditiveManufacturing #SurfaceFinishing
