Mechanical Alloying

Mechanical alloying of nickel particles with dispersed smaller particles. As nickel

particles are flattened between the two balls, the second smaller phase is impresses into the nickel surface and eventually is dispersed throughout the particle due to successive flattening, fracture, and welding events.

  • Basic cooperative research (funded projects)
  • Applied research, with end users (industrial case studies)
  • “Printing” services
  • Dissemination (magazines, exhibitions, social etc.)

Higher profile (long term)

  • Training
  • Funding an (Italian) AM authority
  • Merging with and incorporating similar organizations (Aita, Ciram etc.)
  • Recruiting researchers from contiguous sectors (biomedical, civil, materials science etc.)
  • Recruiting technology providers
