Auburn University's NCAME is partnering with Amaero and Austal USA to slash metal additive manufacturing testing cycles from months to just weeks. This collaboration rapidly qualifies high-cost refractory alloys like Nb-C103 ($4,000/kg) by integrating the full fabrication-to-data value chain. By establishing statistical material allowables, the project targets a reduction in the 1-2 year lead times currently required for maritime castings. This end-to-end model is a crucial step toward securing domestic defense supply chains through accelerated material validation. 🚢 #AdditiveManufacturing #3DPrinting #Aerospace #Defense #MaterialsScience
