Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00390, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Brailovski, Vladimir (École de technologie supérieure), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Collaborative Research and Development Grants - Project, program name french : Subventions de recherche et développement coopérative - projet, program purpose english : This project aims at evaluating the suitability of the advanced rheology-based measurement techniques for the improvement of flowability of water-atomized metallic powders and powder mixtures. These powders and powder mixtures serve as a feedstock for rapidly developing advanced manufacturing processes, such as the high processing speed compaction (PM), additive manufacturing via the laser powder-bed fusion and the binder-jetting techniques (AM), and the metal injection molding (MIM). The improvement of flow properties of these powders and powder mixture will allow fabrication of high performance products for transport and energy._x000D_
_x000D_
Furthermore, the realization of this project will position our industrial partner as one of the largest suppliers of cost-effective steel powders to Canadian companies which turn towards PM, AM and MIM technologies with the objective to augment their overall competitiveness._x000D_
_x000D_
A combination of cost-effective water-atomized powders with an improved buy-to-fly ratio and high in-process powder recycling rate of PM/AM/MIM manufacturing technologies would benefit both the industry and the environment._x000D_
_x000D_
Finally, this research project will contribute to form highly qualified technical personnel trained in the fields of materials science and advanced manufacturing to satisfy the ever-growing demand from Canadian manufacturing industry._x000D_, program purpose french : This project aims at evaluating the suitability of the advanced rheology-based measurement techniques for the improvement of flowability of water-atomized metallic powders and powder mixtures.
