Abstract: A method of making a pre-sintered preform, including forming a pre-sintered preform by a binder jet additive manufacturing technique. The binder jet additive manufacturing technique includes depositing a first powder layer including a first powder and a second powder followed by depositing a first binder at a pre-determined location of the first powder layer. The binder jet additive manufacturing technique also includes depositing a second powder layer over at least a portion of the first powder layer followed by depositing a second binder at a pre-determined location of the second powder layer. At least a portion of the first binder and at least a portion of the second binder is cured forming a green part. The green part is then densified to form a pre-sintered preform near net shape component.

Abstract: A process includes forming a printed article having an external surface and at least one microfeature with an internal surface by additive manufacture, coating the external surface and the internal surface of the printed article with a metallic microlayer to form a coated article, and densifying the coated article to form a component. After formation, the printed article has a porosity such that the printed article is not at full density. A densified component includes a printed article having an external surface and at least one microfeature with an internal surface and a metallic microlayer coating the external surface and the internal surface of the printed article. The printed article is formed by additive manufacture.
