New Patent in Aluminum-Cerium Alloy
Congratulations to this innovative team on the newly granted patent titled “Additive Manufacturing Methods Using Aluminum-Rare Earth Alloys and Products Made Using Such Methods.” US 11,491,546 B2.
To summarize, David Weiss, VP R&D at Eck Industries stated, “This patent describes an aluminum alloy containing cerium and an additive process that combine to produce better mechanical properties at elevated temperatures than additively manufactured Al-Si alloys with easy to implement processing parameters and without the need for expensive alloying elements such as scandium. We expect these alloys can replace Al-Si alloys for additive manufacturing in demanding applications where higher performance is required.”
