- Additive Manufacture in metals has recently gained in importance from an industrial perspective, however challenges remain, with the control of microstructure and hence properties principal amongst them. Much work involves control of solidification structures. Here, we have adopted a different and innovative approach, effectively creating a hybrid processing method which allowed us to combine the advantages of an elongated anisotropic solidification microstructure, e.g., creep resistance, with those of a fine isotropic microstructure more suited to fatigue and impact resistance. This unprecedented technique was the platform for collaboration with Rolls Royce Nuclear who are currently supporting further research for potential applications.
