Current Scope of Work:

Develop a set of quality guidelines for AM OFE copper and its feedstock materials.  This includes, Thermal, Electrical, Mechanical characterization (quasi-static, fatigue, creep, high strain rate, etc.) as a function of melt parameters, bed temperature, powder size, grain size, oxygen content, orientation, geometry.

Mission:

“Establish the critical to quality characteristics additively manufactured copper and copper alloys necessary to enable batch size one processing of critical devices”
