THE NEW AM BUILD: COLLABORATIONS This past spring, I was fortunate to view several talks fromthe AeroMat and ITSC 2021 Virtual Events, including a panel discussion on “Emerging Additive Manufacturing of Materials” moderated by James Cotton, FASM. Speakers from McGill University, QuesTek Innovations LLC, Airbus, and more shared insights on the biggest challenges and latest trends in the thriving additive manufacturing (AM) sector. Some of the key challenges and opportunities include qualification of vendors and parts, proper welding and joining of AM parts, and creation of high entropy alloys. Much research will be required to solve these issues. But several groups are already making headway and “building a better model”—like AM itself—one layer at a time. In the AeroMat “Emerging Materials and Processes” session, I learned from Nicolas Nutal of CRM Group that Belgium has its own consortium for AM. Nutal’s work, aided by the consortium, focuses on the use of advanced aluminum in additively manufactured, high-end spacecraft parts. Consulting with others in the group, they determined that the 2000/7000 aluminum series cannot be used in fusion welding due to poor weldability. So they are now developing new aluminum alloys more compatible with AM. As another example, Ron Aman, principal engineer at EWI, mentioned in his AeroMat keynote that EWI leads an AM consortium. The group serves as a platform for collaboration between industry, government, and academia; works together on precompetitive research opportunities; and partners on government-funded projects. For this issue of AM&P, EWI provided a co-author to help describe another AM collaboration: a workshop developed by NIST, ASM International, and Pilgrim Consulting LLC to address the need for AM data management standards and the acceleration of part certification. With ASM past president William E. Frazier, FASM, as the lead author, the article describes the path forward to a collaborative AM data management system. The plan includes building community acceptance through influential early adopters. Indeed, our views can be influenced by people and organizations we look up to. We can benefit from their experience and wisdom. As Mitchell Dorfman, FASM, TSS-HoF, prepares for retirement from Oerlikon Metco, an attendee at his joint AeroMat/ITSC keynote Q&A session asked what he foundmost rewarding in his career. Part of his answer was “working together and solving problems to get a new material into an application.” More praise for the benefits of collaboration. For additional industry insights, see a summary of his keynote talk in this issue’s iTSSe supplement. Also in iTSSe, we are proud to share the names of members of our TSS community who are on a Stanford University list of the world’s top 2%most-cited researchers. In addition to the TSS-related names on pages 51-52, we were pleased to find other ASM members on the Stanford list including these Fellows: Rodney Boyer, Zi-Kui Liu, Tresa Pollock, Christopher Schuh, and David B. Williams. This is clear evidence that ASM members are recognized as trusted sources of reliable materials information. Our expert members are building up the materials community by authoring highly cited papers, presenting at global events, leading international collaborations, and solving newmaterials challenges in AM and many other sectors. joanne.miller@asminternational.org
