Result description
The hard C powder composition has been developed, water atomized and analyzed by GKN. Furthermore, the tensile and fatigue specimens manufactured by L-PBF system showed sufficient static and dynamic mechanical properties for the automotive end-user application. KPIs regarding energy & material consumption, production rate and CO2 emission during the water atomization process have been estimated, analyzed and compared with baseline gas atomization process.
