Abstract
This presentation summarises the research activities of the Advanced Materials & Processing Lab (AMPLab) in the field of Additive Manufacturing (AM), using laser powder bed and blow powder technologies. TThe activities cover the following themes: defect formation and mitigation, post-processing of AM structures, tooling development using AM, micro and macro modelling, multi-functional AM, microstructural control, and process optimisation. The talk demonstrates some case studies in the aerospace, medical, defence, and space sectors. The talk also summarises the key metallurgical challenges that face the development and deployment of AM technologies.
Bio
Prof. Moataz Attallah holds a chair in advanced materials processing at the School of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Birmingham. His research focuses on studying a number of advanced manufacturing technologies including additive manufacturing (blown powder and selective laser melting), friction-welding (friction stir, linear and rotary friction welding), and powder metallurgy of aerospace metallic materials, using electron microscopy and neutron/synchrotron X-ray diffraction. He is the director of the 35-member strong advanced materials and processing laboratory (AMPLab), with a total grant portfolio of ~ £ 8 M from UK, EU, and industrial collaborations. Prof. Attallah is also the academic leader for netshape manufacturing theme at the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC).
