America Makes awarded $1.3M for the CATACS project to accelerate metal additive manufacturing corrosion research.

Originally reported by Metal AM

America Makes awarded $1.3M for the CATACS project to accelerate metal additive manufacturing corrosion research. RTX and Colorado School of Mines will lead teams to solve a critical bottleneck: the lack of standardized testing for AM parts in harsh environments. Unique AM microstructures mean traditional corrosion data is insufficient for military certification. This component-scale validation is essential for the rapid deployment of critical defense systems. 🛡️ #AdditiveManufacturing #DefenseTech #Corrosion #3DPrinting
