Mike Bond, Director of Advanced Material Technology at Aeromet, said: “We are very pleased to have been awarded NATEP funding for this exciting project. By working with our partners, we hope to further develop our powder technology and create a new option for high strength additive manufactured parts.

Aeromet International provides major OEMs including Airbus, Boeing, BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce with parts ranging from engine and fuel system components to winglets and doors. The company has developed and patented A20X, the world’s strongest commercially available aluminium casting alloy.

As part of the High Strength Aluminium Powder for Additive Manufacture (HighSAP) project Aeromet, along with partners Renishaw, Rolls-Royce and PSI, are set to further optimise the A20X alloy for use in additive manufacturing and produce a set of demonstrator parts.

Dr Martin McMahon, Business Development Manager of Global Solutions Centres at Renishaw commented: “Renishaw is very pleased to be a part of this project and for the innovative new A20X aluminium powder to be further developed using Renishaw’s additive manufacturing systems and network of Solutions Centres”.

Paul Murray, Principal Materials Engineer at Rolls-Royce, commented: “Rolls-Royce are excited to participate in this project and contribute to the development of this very promising new aluminium alloy. NATEP is a proven programme with a strong track record of supporting innovation in the UK aerospace supply chain”.
