This presentation highlights the importance of innovation and technology in manufacturing bespoke, high-integrity, critical components such as large forgings and castings.
In order to fabricate such products more quickly and cheaply, several vital ingredients need to be brought together; these include investment in equipment and people, increased adoption of advanced technologies and any relevant elements of “Industry 4.0”.
In addition, the use of innovative technologies enables greater flexibility in defining the characteristics of each component and helps to tailor the manufacturing process to suit. This approach also facilitates undertaking more demanding technical challenges and looking at entirely new ways of creating components, which allow for greater manufacturing efficiency and stronger, lighter, more complex end products.
Powder atomisation is a cost-effective processing method that has the ability to produce complex shapes which are impractical, or even impossible, for conventional processes whilst minimising machining by producing parts…
