With aerospace technologies gaining increased attention due to a continuously growing interest in space, the drive towards innovation in sectors associated with aerospace is now in high gear. Additionally, there is a growing demand in value-added materials for additive manufacturing that promote superior part properties, not achievable by conventional fusion-based routes.
The MA.D.AM project addresses this demand by covering the whole process chain from material development to layer deposition via solid-state processes for the selected use-case of novel Al-Cu-Li alloys. It applies a systematic multidisciplinary strategy, including experimental and numerical approaches and combines them via machine learning. The ERC project is led by Prof. Dr. Benjamin Klusemann (Leuphana Institute of Product and Process Innovation) and hosted by the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon.
