A field emitter scanning electron microscope (FESEM) is requested for materials development in additive manufacturing. The device is to be integrated as a central element in the laboratory for powder-based materials development. An essential first step in the development of new materials for additive manufacturing is the investigation of microstructural properties such as composition-dependent phase formation and transformation of additively manufactured materials. Due to the unique process environments of additive manufacturing processes, it is also possible to create the smallest grain sizes down to glass-like states, as well as highly textured materials. For the development of new materials, which use the characteristic process features of additive manufacturing technologies based on powder nozzle as well as powder bed processes, it is indispensable to be able to investigate the finest microstructural components in detail. One focus of the research of the Chair of Materials Science and Additive Manufacturing is the development of partly highly complex high-temperature alloys based on intermetallic and Ni-based alloy systems. Due to the characteristically high cooling rates of additive manufacturing processes as well as the influence of intrinsic heat treatment caused by the layer-by-layer structure, material states are typically generated in disequilibrium states not represented by phase diagrams. Another focus is on the development of materials using self-synthesized nanoparticles to modify the properties of printed materials, including nanoparticle-polymer composites, in a variety of ways. The ability to systematically study composite and alloy compositions at BUW will provide extensive new scientific insight into composition-property correlations; which is particularly important in light of the goal of being able to develop application-specific material solutions in a targeted manner. By adding a high-performance scanning electron microscope with resolution in the single-digit nanometer range, low-pressure mode and corresponding analytics (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD)), the fundamental research and development of new metallic and polymeric materials using nanoparticulate additives and intrinsically formed precipitates can be significantly extended and a substantial deepening of the understanding of composition-dependent phase formation under the special thermophysical solidification conditions during AM can be achieved. The proposed device thus occupies a key position for the materials science research spectrum of the Chair of Materials Science and Additive Manufacturing and the University of Wuppertal.

增材制造中的材料开发需要场发射扫描电子显微镜 (FESEM)。该设备将作为粉末材料开发实验室的中心元件进行集成。开发增材制造新材料的第一步是研究微结构特性，例如增材制造材料的成分依赖性相形成和转变。由于增材制造工艺的独特工艺环境，还可以制造最小至玻璃态的晶粒尺寸以及高度纹理化的材料。对于利用基于粉末喷嘴和粉末床工艺的增材制造技术的特有工艺特征的新材料的开发来说，能够详细研究最精细的微观结构成分是必不可少的。材料科学和增材制造系主任的研究重点之一是开发基于金属间化合物和镍基合金系统的部分高度复杂的高温合金。由于增材制造工艺具有高冷却速率的特点以及逐层结构引起的本征热处理的影响，材料状态通常以相图无法表示的不平衡状态产生。另一个重点是开发使用自合成纳米粒子以多种方式改变印刷材料性能的材料，包括纳米粒子-聚合物复合材料。 BUW 系统研究复合材料和合金成分的能力将为成分-性能相关性提供广泛的新科学见解；鉴于能够有针对性地开发特定应用材料解决方案的目标，这一点尤为重要。通过添加分辨率为个位数纳米范围的高性能扫描电子显微镜、低压模式和相应的分析（能量色散 X 射线光谱 (EDX) 和电子背散射衍射 (EBSD)），基础研究和开发使用纳米颗粒添加剂和固有形成的沉淀物的新型金属和聚合物材料的研究可以得到显着扩展，并且可以显着加深对增材制造过程中特殊热物理凝固条件下成分依赖性相形成的理解。因此，所提出的装置在材料科学与增材制造系主任和伍珀塔尔大学的材料科学研究领域中占据着关键地位。
