THE JETTING PERFORMANCE OF MOLTEN METAL ALLOYS BY CONTROLLING THE CONCENTRATION OF KEY ALLOYING ELEMENTS

Abstract:

A method for improving part quality in additive manufacturing involving jetting liquid metal. Limiting the amounts of magnesium and zinc in a meniscus material to below predetermined thresholds improves jetting quality. Further, ensuring an amount of Strontium is above a predetermined threshold further improves jetting of the liquid metal.
