Additive Manufacturing of Metallic Functional Alloys: The Opportunities and the Challenges
Wed, 25/10/2023 - 13:00 to 14:30
Location:
Speaker:
Professor Moataz Attallah
Affiliation:
University of Birmingham
Synopsis:
Additive manufacturing (AM) of metallic materials has evolved in the recent years from the standard structural materials into the functional materials and other metamaterials due to the realised potential of that interesting combination. This talk explores the challenges and opportunities raised by the usage of AM in printing several functional materials, including shape memory alloys, soft magnets, magnetocaloric, superconductors, and magnetic shape memory alloys. Printing of these advanced functional materials provide the opportunity for the development of new products that cannot be materialised using conventional processing.
Biography:
Professor Moataz Attallah holds a chair in advanced materials processing at the School of Metallurgy and Materials University of Birmingham. His research focuses on developing a metallurgical understanding of the material-process interaction in additive manufacturing of metallic materials focusing on the process impact on the microstructure and structural integrity development. His research is conducted through research partnerships with various companies in the aerospace, defence, medical, space, and nuclear energy sectors. He co-authored over 200 journal and conference papers, 3 book chapters, and is a co-inventor on 5 patents.
