Fraunhofer ILT has launched the 1.5 million euro InnoWaerm project to develop 3D printed titanium aluminide microreactors for onboard hydrogen generation. By using laser powder bed fusion with specialized preheating, researchers are overcoming the brittleness of intermetallic alloys to create lightweight heat exchangers. This allows heavy vehicles to convert ammonia into hydrogen on-demand, solving storage challenges. It marks a systemic shift toward utilizing advanced intermetallics for zero-emission transport. 🌍✈️ #3DPrinting #Hydrogen #Aerospace #Sustainability
