18. Expressions of Interest Expressions of interest in the results of the other projects M1-US-QuesTek ER2Commercial availability of one of QuesTek Innovations’ new Ti 6-4 Mod alloys that has greater strength and toughness vs traditional Ti-6-4 used in AM, with a stretch goal of meeting or exceeding the properties of wrought Ti-6-4. ER3Design of a new Co, Ni or other alloy tailored specifically for AM that can be applied to a range of industries such as medical, aerospace and heavy industry. It is readily agreed upon that the use of existing “off-the-shelf” alloys for additive manufacturing poses a number of manufacturing and material performance issues, and new materials designed to the unique processing of AM need to be invented.
