Senvol announced that it will commercialize various additive manufacturing (AM) databases of global energy technology company Siemens Energy. Commercialization will start with databases on Ti64, Inconel 625, and Inconel 718.
All three databases were generated by Siemens Energy on its laser powder bed fusion machines. Although the data was initially intended exclusively for internal use, the organization recently decided to make the data commercially available.
Senvol president Annie Wang commented, “This marks an extremely significant point in the additive manufacturing industry. Databases of this pedigree and magnitude are typically considered proprietary information and are not made commercially available to other organizations.”
The databases will be made available via Senvol’s wider Senvol Indexes product line. Senvol Indexes are data sets for AM material characterization. Each Senvol Index data set is sold individually and provides instantaneous access to AM data sets that would otherwise take months to develop. As with all Senvol Indexes, the Siemens Energy databases are being offered at a price that is just a fraction of the cost of development.
The databases are extensive, consisting of hundreds of specimens spread across dozens of tests, such as tensile, low cycle fatigue, high cycle fatigue, and creep. What’s more, most of the tests were conducted at various temperature conditions.
