Reference number : GC-2017-Q2-04362, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Ojo, Olanrewaju (University of Manitoba)|Ojo, Olanrewaju (Université du Manitoba), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Manitoba, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for Universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Precision ADM is a Canadian company that helps their customer companies to take advantage of advanced_x000D_
digital manufacturing technologies, including additive manufacturing (AM), to produce innovative parts that_x000D_
are stronger and lighter and at higher production rate and lower costs without undue burden to the environment._x000D_
One of the key sectors that the company serves is the aerospace industry. Canadian aerospace industry is a_x000D_
strategically important contributor to the Canadian economy in terms of employment, innovation, productivity_x000D_
and trade. AM technology has shown potential to complement or replace some conventional manufacturing_x000D_
processes due to some of its many attractive benefits. It can be used to produce parts with complicated shapes_x000D_
that are almost impractical to create by other manufacturing processes. It can also be used to produce_x000D_
monolithic components, thereby eliminating the need for assembling and joining, which also enables the ease_x000D_
and rapid introduction of new designs and customization. Moreover, for aerospace products, which often suffer_x000D_
from extremely low fly-to-buy ratio, the AM process can reduce costs in terms of improved time and material_x000D_
utilization._x000D_
This research project aims at understanding the underlying cause of porosity that forms during AM of an_x000D_
aerospace Co-Cr alloy by direct laser metal deposition method. The ultimate goal is the find an effective_x000D_
procedure to minimize or completely eliminate the porosity, which is known to significantly degrade_x000D_
mechanical properties and performance of AM products. A detailed microstructural study, through the use of a_x000D_
suite of microscopy and spectroscopy equipment at the University of Manitoba will be performed to analyze_x000D_
and understand the cause(s) of the porosity. This will enable the development of an effective procedure for_x000D_
eradicating the problem, which will lead to effective AM process that lowers cost and enhance safety in_x000D_
aircrafts. Ultimately the project will aid Canada's competitiveness in advanced manufacturing technology., program purpose french : Precision ADM is a Canadian company that helps their customer companies to take advantage of advanced_x000D_
