JBK-75 is an iron-nickel derivative alloy of A-286 that has been of interest to NASA’s propulsion community for use in fuel injectors and other components that are used in hot, corrosive environments. To enable the rapid production of these components in JBK-75, Marshall Space Flight Center has developed parameters for manufacturing fully dense JBK-75 components using powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (PBFAM). These parameters were developed in a two-step development. First, the depth of laser penetration in the powdered material was measured across a spectrum of laser powers to determine the optimal power necessary for generating the desired meltpool depth. The parameter set’s vector-to-vector spacing was then then tailored to guarantee the full densification of the desired area. The results of this development was a readily implementable parameter that produced 99.6% dense material when using a 147W power running at 600mm/s with a 85μm(32%) vector-to-vector spacing.
