摘要:
A method for fabricating a component from powder comprises: (a) cold compacting powder to create a pre-form (100); (b) placing the pre-form between smart susceptors of an induction tool assembly (102); (c) flooding a space inside the induction tool assembly with an oxygen-free gas (104); (d) heating the smart susceptors to a leveling temperature by applying a varying low-strength magnetic field having a magnetic flux that passes through surfaces of the smart susceptors (106); (e) applying consolidation pressure to the pre-form at least during a time period subsequent to the temperature of the smart susceptors reaching the leveling temperature (108); and (f) while consolidation pressure is being applied, applying a pulsed high-strength magnetic field having a magnetic flux that passes through a surface of the pre-form (110). The strength of the high-strength magnetic field is greater than a peak strength of the low-strength magnetic field. The strength and pulse rate of the high-strength magnetic field are selected so that the crystallographic phase of the pre-form will rapidly oscillate at a substantially constant temperature. The pulsed high-strength magnetic field is applied sufficiently long that superplasticity of the pre-form is attained during phase oscillation.

摘要:
A method for the manufacture of a multilevel metal part, the method including the steps of: a) compacting agglomerated spherical metal powder to a green multilevel preform such that an open porosity exists, wherein the green multilevel preform fulfills the relation zg=zHVC·a, b) debinding the green preform, c) sintering the green preform in an atmosphere including hydrogen, d) compacting the green preform with high velocity compaction to a density of at least 95% TD, e) subjecting the part to densification to a density of at least 99% TD. There is further provided a multilevel metal part. Advantages of the method include that it is possible to manufacture a multilevel part which is essentially uniform throughout the entire part and which has excellent tolerance, which at the same time has virtually full density and thereby having excellent mechanical properties as well as excellent corrosion properties.
