Composition Design of Additive Manufacturing Materials Based on High Throughput Preparation

As a new manufacturing technology, additive manufacturing has brought about revolutionary changes in the aerospace, transportation, and biomedicine fields. However, since the metal materials used in additive manufacturing are still mainly traditional alloys, some of them are unsuitable for high-energy beam processing, indicating room for performance improvements. Besides, the development of additive manufacturing materials still follows the traditional trial-and-error model, seriously restricting the development of high-performance materials. Therefore, this paper discusses this situation and the existing additive manufacturing technology problems of steel, titanium alloys, and aluminum alloys, after which the application of high-throughput preparation and characterization technologies in material development and design were expounded. Combined with the principle and characteristics of high-throughput additive manufacturing preparations, the prospects and challenges of the high-throughput preparation and characterization technology of additive manufacturing in material development were expounded. Then, futuristic developmental directions of key materials for additive manufacturing development and composition optimization were proposed.
