Summary (Newest Update)

Background NASA/NSSC has a requirement for Powder Bed Fusion Development of Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Alloys. The contract is intended to be awarded as a sole source to NORTH AMERICAN MANUFACTURING PROS LLC, located at 29176 Al Highway 53 Ardmore, Alabama 35739, as they are determined to be the sole provider for this specialized service. The goal of the contract is to develop advanced process parameters for laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of specialty alloys that enhance mechanical performance in extreme environments. Work Details The work involves advanced process development and parameter optimization for L-PBF of oxide dispersion strengthened and burn-resistant nickel-based alloys, including NASA-developed alloys such as ORCAlloy-14-TiN, GRX-810, Alloy N ODS, and others. Specific tasks include: 1. Providing access to an EOS M280 laser powder bed fusion system dedicated to advanced dispersion strengthened alloys. 2. Developing target alloys including ORCAlloy-14 (coated and uncoated), GRX-810, Alloy N ODS, Alloy Z ODS, and additional experimental alloys. 3. Ensuring a minimum operational window of 432 hours/month with a 60% print utilization rate over three months. 4. Implementing proprietary parameter sets yielding ≥99.9% relative density validated through microstructural analysis and mechanical testing. 5. Documenting any anomalies or build errors in real time and managing powder removal and build log tracking. 6. Supplying a minimum of 250 kg of GRX-810 powder and 80 lbs of Alloy Z for developmental builds, ensuring compliance with NASA specifications. Period of Performance Three (3) months from authority to proceed (ATP). Place of Performance NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC), Cleveland, OH.
