The main objective of the MBN’s test case was to produce via HEBM, novel pre alloyed powders based on aluminum and titanium matrices reinforced with nano-SiC and TiC for use in IRIS PL (Borealis/DED) and in INOP PL (SPS-KOBO extrusion).

Moreover, Al-based masterbatches have been developed for use in casting technologies in GSC and LPDC as well as HPDC PLs.
