IIW 2023 Welded Art Book

Vladislav Yakubov & Halsey Ostergaard (Australia)

This exhibit is part of a project funded by a Sustainable Development Goals grant at the University of Sydney led by Prof A. Paradowska to develop solid-state additive manufacturing (AM) processes for recycled aluminium alloys in collaboration with University College London (UCL), Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) North West, and Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). Additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) fabricates structures layer-by-layer using a rotating tool piece fed with metal feedstock through a hole in the centre. No melting occurs during processing; instead, pressure and friction fuse metal in its plastic state. AFSD provides energy-efficient, large-scale AM of a variety of alloy systems. Importantly, it can also utilize waste material from other processes, further reducing environmental impact and contributing to closing the recycling loop. This new technology has huge potential for sustainable development of large scale additive manufacturing for future civil, transport, mining and space structures. nContact Infon Email: vladislav.yakubov@sydney.edu.au halsey.ostergaard@sydney.edu.au
