Project Description
The thrust chambers for ESA’s Ariane 6 launch system involve complex assembly of liner and jacket parts. Multi-material additive manufacture (MMAM) in which different materials are incorporated in a single build with properties tailored to locations. This has the potential to greatly simplify the production, and generate efficiency gains, in this and other space applications. 44 This collaboration with ESA aims to characterise MMAM microstructures and mechanical properties on the micro-scale. Graded transitions as well as bonding on interfaces will be investigated in materials such as In718/In625, Cu alloys or NiCrAlY. The aim is to understand the properties on the microscale in order to steer the process parameters and processing conditions in the AM process
