    Reducing cohesion of metal powders for additive manufacturing by nanoparticle dry-coating
    Additive manufacturing processes, such as laser powder bed fusion, require steady powder processing but often exhibit poor flowability and low powder bed densities. Reducing the attractive Van-der-Waals force through nanoparticle coating can enhance initially poor flowability. We investigated the effect of dry-coating nanosized SiO2 on gas-atomized CoCrFeNi powders containing different amounts of particles < 20 μm with respect to nanoparticle concentration and mixing time. The dynamic angle of repose of a 0–90 μm powder reduced 50% and bulk powder density increased 30% with nanoparticle concentrations up to 0.153 wt.-%. The granular Bond-number was correlated with the powder flowability and porosity. The effect of mixing time was investigated with mixing two fractions 20–90 μm and 0–90 μm at a constant nominal nanoparticle surface area coverage of 128% for 2 to 1440 min. Short mixing times improved the flowability, while extensive mixing resulted in nanoparticle reagglomeration and deteriorated flow.

    Materials Characterization at High Strain Rates
    The identification of material properties at high strain rates is of considerable technical interest, e.g., in applications for passenger safety-related parts which are expected to absorb energy in case of collisions. To additionally meet the requirements of a rapid and resource-efficient materials characterization, a novel highspeed hardness testing method based on laser-induced shock waves was investigated. The principal applicability of this laser-induced shockwave indentation technique for materials characterization at high strain rates is shown.
