摘要:
A method and apparatus for manufacturing a shaped precision article from molten metal or molten metal alloy wherein a gas atomized stream of molten metal or molten metal alloy is directed at a collecting surface to form a coherent deposit, the stream being cooled in flight by the atomizing gas, which is at ambient, preferably room temperature, sufficient heat being extracted by the relatively cold atomizing gas from the stream of molten metal in flight such that formation of the coherent deposit is independent or substantially independent of the thermal properties and temperature of the collecting surface, provided the temperature of the collecting surface is below the melting point of the metal or metal alloy being sprayed; and the deposit is worked as by a die to form the precision metal or metal alloy article.

An additively manufactured (AM) object may include a body including an opening in an exterior surface thereof, the opening having a shape and a first area at the exterior surface of the body. A mask may be positioned over the opening. The mask has the shape of the opening and a second area that is larger than the first area so as to overhang the exterior surface of the body about the opening. A plurality of support ligaments couple to the mask and the exterior surface of the body at a location adjacent to the opening to support a portion of the mask. A coating can be applied to the object, and the mask removed. The final AM object includes a plurality of ligament elements extending from the exterior surface of the body and through the coating adjacent the opening, each ligament element at least partially surrounded by the coating.

A method for heat treating a powder part preform including a titanium alloy, includes heat treating the preform in a furnace at a predefined temperature, wherein the preform is on a holder during the heat treatment. The holder includes a titanium alloy having a mass titanium content no lower than 45%, or a zirconium alloy having a mass zirconium content no lower than 95%, wherein the material making up the holder has a melting temperature higher than the predefined heat treatment temperature, and an antidiffusion barrier is arranged between the preform and the holder to prevent the preform from becoming welded to the holder.
摘要:
In printing a sinterable part using a 3D printing model material including a binder and a ceramic or metal sintering material, a release layer intervenes between support structures and the part, each of the support structures and the part formed of the model material. The release layer includes a spherized or powdered higher melting temperature material—ceramic or high temperature metal for example, optionally deposited with a similar (primary) matrix or binder component to the model material. After sintering, the release layer may become a loose powder, permitting the supports to be easily removed.

Superabrasive tools and methods for the making thereof are disclosed and described. In one aspect, superabrasive particles are chemically bonded to a matrix support material according to a predetermined pattern by a braze alloy. The brazing alloy may be provided as a powder, thin sheet, or sheet of amorphous alloy. A template having a plurality of apertures arranged in a predetermined pattern may be used to place the superabrasive particles on a given substrate or matrix support material.

High-performance magnets are obtained by: housing metal evaporating materials (v) containing at least one of Dy and Tb and sintered magnets (S) inside a processing box; disposing the processing box inside a vacuum chamber; thereafter, heating the processing box to a predetermined temperature in a vacuum atmosphere to thereby evaporate the metal evaporating materials and cause them to be adhered to the sintered magnets. The metal atoms of the adhered Dy or Tb are diffused into grain boundaries and/or grain boundary phases of the sintered magnets. A method of manufacturing a permanent magnet is provided in which, even if the sintered magnets and the metal evaporating materials are disposed in close proximity to each other, the squareness of demagnetization curve is not impaired and in which high feasibility of mass production can be attained. While the metal evaporating materials are being evaporated, an inert gas is introduced into the processing chamber in which the sintered magnets are disposed.

An improved method for controlling nucleation sites during superabrasive particle synthesis can provide high quality industrial superabrasive particles with high yield and a narrow size distribution. The synthesis method can include forming a raw material layer, forming a particulate catalyst layer adjacent the raw material layer, and placing crystalline seeds in a predetermined pattern at least partially in the catalyst layer or raw material layer to form a growth precursor. Alternatively, the raw material and catalyst material can be mixed to form a particulate crystal growth layer and then placing the crystalline seeds in a predetermined pattern in the growth layer. Preferably, seeds can be substantially surrounded by catalyst material. The growth precursor can be maintained at a temperature and pressure at which the superabrasive crystal is thermodynamically stable for a time sufficient for a desired degree of growth. The crystalline seeds can be placed in a predetermined pattern using a template, a transfer sheet, vacuum chuck or similar techniques. The superabrasive particles grown using the described methods typically have a high yield of high quality industrial particles and a narrow distribution of particle sizes.
