Additive alloy melting: Speeding up future alloy development

Miguel Cristóbal (IMDEA Materiales & CENIM, CSIC) Members of IMDEA Materials Institute and of the National Center for Metallurgical Research (CENIM-CSIC) are working together on the development of a novel method to accelerate the design of metallic alloys named Additive Alloy Melting, or ADAM. This method allows to limit significantly the time required to fabricate new alloys that meet the increasing demands of the energy, transport or biomedical sectors, which is currently carried out by costly and time consuming trial…
