摘要:
Method and arrangement for spray forming an article. The method includes spraying a plurality of metal streams upon a low-heat resistant model and thereby forming a spray formed article. Each of the plurality of metal streams is composed of moltenized droplets, and as between the plurality of metal streams, each is composed of different constituent elements. In the spray form process, conditions of the metal streams are controlled, particularly around the time that the droplets land, to prevent adverse affects such as melting or burning the master model. The spray conditions are controlled in such a manner that the individual metal droplets forming the metal streams remain substantially segregate. The segregated state is maintained through out solidification so that the resulting spray formed article is composed at least partially of psuedo-alloy.

摘要:
One method of the present invention relates to a method for spray forming metal deposits. The method is comprised of providing a ceramic substrate having a spraying pattern for receiving sprayed metal particles, spraying metal particles onto the spraying pattern to form a metal deposit on the spraying pattern for at least a first spray period, controlling the spraying step during the first spray period so that the temperature of the deposited metal particles increases at an average rate of less than or equal to about 15° per minute. The first spray period can be defined as lasting until the temperature of the deposited metal particles is at or about a steady state temperature. The steady state temperature is preferably in the range of about 330° C. to about 370° C.

Spray form cell including a two-wavelength imaging pyrometer adapted to provide real-time measurement of the surface temperature distribution of a metal billet thereby formed. The steel billets may be advantageously used as tools in metal forming processes, injection molding, die casting tooling and other processes that require hard tooling, such as in the automotive industry. The steel billet is formed based on a goal of uniform surface temperature distribution thereby minimizing thermal stresses induced within the steel article thereby produced.

A method of making a spray formed article includes the steps of providing a sand pattern and spraying metal material toward the sand pattern to form the desired article. The sand pattern is made from a sand molding composition comprising refractory materials and binder. The refractory material comprises at least about 15 weight percent alumina, based on the total weight of the refractory material.

The present invention relates to a method of providing a spray formed composite article. The method comprises providing a first article. The first article is a spray formed article. A second article is located adjacent the first article. Metallic particles are sprayed onto the articles and allowed to form a metal deposit that extends between and connects the first and second articles.

摘要:
A spray forming pattern of a first metal having a melting point at a first temperature is formed. The spray forming pattern has a surface defining a cavity that has the shape of a master pattern. Steel particles having a carbon content in the range of 0.01-0.9% by weight are sprayed onto the spray forming pattern to form a deposit on the spray forming pattern. The deposit has a thickness of at least 0.5 inches and the temperature of the steel particles increases as the thickness of the steel deposit increases. The spraying conditions are controlled so that the steel particles coming into contact with the spray forming pattern results in a surface temperature of the spray forming pattern of less than about 80.degree. C. The deposit and the spray forming pattern are heated to a second temperature, which is higher than the first temperature, to melt the spray forming pattern from the deposit. The resulting deposit has the general shape of the master pattern.
