Industrialising Haynes® 282®: Laser Powder Directed Energy Deposition for high-temperature performance
Although Haynes® 282® offers an excellent balance of weldability, creep strength and high-temperature stability, processing via metal Additive Manufacturing presents challenges. Steep thermal gradients during deposition can promote hot cracking and porosity, narrowing the process window. In this article, Spain’s Etxetar explores what is required to industrialise laser and powder-based Directed Energy Deposition (DED) of this alloy. It shows how adoption depends on aligning feedstock quality, deposition strategy and hardware configuration, using IG-series heads to demonstrate how nozzle design, monitoring and toolpaths are tailored to application requirements. ...
