AMAZEMET actively contributes to automotive material research, supporting innovations in lightweight structures, heat-resistant alloys, and powder-based manufacturing:
01
High-Performance High Entropy alloys for heat resistant applications
This paper explores the innovative technology of ultrasonic atomization by employing metal powder-cored wire as a filament to fabricate spherical powders. The method demonstrates a novel approach to generate uniform size distributions of spherical-shaped powders in the range of 30–60 μm, characterized by a homogeneous high-entropy composition. This technique’s significance lies in its ability to efficiently produce High Entropy Alloy (HEA) powder, marking a substantial stride toward energy-efficient routes in material fabrication. The implications extend across multiple industrial sectors, promising new way for advanced materials synthesis and manufacturing processes.
02
Magnesium-based composites
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys offer promise for aerospace, railway, and 3D technology applications, yet their inherent limitations, including inadequate strength, pose challenges. Magnesium matrix composites, particularly with metallic reinforcements like titanium (Ti) and its alloys, present a viable solution. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of Ti6Al4V reinforcement on AZ31 magnesium alloy composites produced using pulse plasma sintering (PPS). Results show enhanced microhardness of the materials due to improved densification and microstructural refinement. However, Ti6Al4V addition decreased corrosion resistance, leading to strong microgalvanic corrosion and substrate dissolution. Understanding these effects is crucial for designing Mg-based materials for industries like petrochemicals, where degradation-resistant materials are vital for high-pressure environments. This research provides valuable insights into developing Mg-Ti6Al4V composites with tailored properties for diverse industrial applications, highlighting the importance of considering corrosion behavior in material design. Further investigation is warranted to establish predictive correlations between Ti6Al4V content and corrosion rate for optimizing composite performance.
03
Aluminum-based metal matrix composites
This research presents a comprehensive study on the production of aluminum-matrix composite (AMC) powders using ultrasonic atomization for additive manufacturing (AM). The impact of different heat sources—plasma, arc, and induction melting—was evaluated on the processability and resultant properties of the AMC powders, including morphology, size, and composite structure. Additionally, induction melting was considered in terms of process parameters such as pressure difference, nozzle size, and frequency. The analysis of AMC powder processability revealed that the efficiency of the ultrasonic process depended on the selected heat source. The highest efficiency, nearly 50%, was attained with the induction system. All produced AMC powders exhibited high sphericity, with average sizes ranging from 88.2 to 120 µm. However, the desired composite structure was not achieved under tested conditions due to the decrease in SiC particle content from 20% in the feed material to approximately 3.5% in the final AMC powder. Based on these results, the research highlights the potential and limitations of ultrasonic atomization in AMC powder production, emphasizing the need for further optimization to improve powder quality and process efficiency for broader industrial application in AM.
