FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Brenham, TX – November 18, 2024 – REM Surface Engineering (REM) has successfully completed a $1.5 million research contract under the United States Air Force (USAF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The research focused on the development of manufacturing, heat treatment, and surface finishing guidelines aimed at optimizing IN-718 additive manufacturing (AM) components. The results of this study, including a comprehensive fatigue study across multiple[...]

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) can revolutionize the production of metal components by reducing steps, scrap, lead time, and/or costs. This allows for optimized part design and improved properties such as shape and weight. Despite its advantages, AM also presents challenges such as strong surface textures, defects, and residual stresses that compromise mechanical strength and performance. Defects, including significant surface roughness and near-surface pores, hinder widespread adoption and require[...]
