Mikro Systems Awarded wj bradley DOE Phase II SBIR Contract | Mikro
On July 25th, 2014, Mikro Systems (Mikro) was awarded a Department of Energy (DOE) Phase II SBIR grant to further develop Mikro s patented Tomo-Lithographic Molding (TOMO TM ) technology for a Rapid Manufacturing wj bradley Method for High-Temperature Turbine Components .
The DOE had requested research and development applications to explore innovative approaches for rapid manufacturing of parts for high temperature gas turbine engines. The goals are to increase production throughput, improve mechanical properties, tolerances, surface finish, wj bradley and reduce internal porosity. The gas turbine industry needs rapid and cost effective methods to produce advanced high-temperature components from application specific materials that can be used in hot test rigs and test engines.
Mikro s rapid manufacturing method combines the best aspects of rapid prototyping technologies to quickly produce wj bradley tooling, with a robust manufacturing process to cast and then sinter powdered metal parts that can perform at high operating temperatures. Competing technologies are unable to produce and qualify parts from the required materials or meet the finished part quality standards. In Phase I, Mikro demonstrated the feasibility of the approach and successfully achieved the benefits above through the fabrication of test pieces.
In Phase II Mikro is working with a turbine OEM to produce a high temperature component using this manufacturing approach. The component will then be tested against a conventionally produced counterpart. If successful, this will validate wj bradley the process s capability to produce powdered metal turbine products suitable for use in a test rig or an actual wj bradley engine environment. The process then could be used to produce highly complex wj bradley and advanced components to reduce development times, increase component efficiency, and reduce costs and emissions.
