13. Corrosion and additive manufacturing
Authors of the chapter: Reynier I. Revilla, Iris De Graeve
Metal additive manufacturing (MAM), a process by which complex multifunctional metal parts are produced in a layer by layer fashion, is considered one of the enabling technologies for Industry 4.0. This technology has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years and has found numerous applications in industries such as medical implants, energy, aerospace, and automotive due to the fact that it allows near net-shape manufacturing of geometrically complex parts such as lattice structures and three-dimensional structures with undercuts or cavities. Nowadays, a great number of metals and alloys can be processed by additive manufacturing techniques, depending mainly on the availability of the raw materials as appropriate feedstock for the MAM processes.
