    摘要: This invention presents the process of direct laser casting of copper alloys: Cu—X (where X=Ni, Fe, W;) and their composites Cu—Y and Cu—X—Y (Y=WC, TiC, Ti+C) from powders prepared using mechanical mixing and ball milling processes. Since the metallic powder is combined with a low melting point Cu metal, which has good thermal and electrical conductivity, the combination allows the powder mixture to be melted by CO2 laser and re-solidified into a part with good mechanical properties and conductivity. The laser casting process for the Cu-based in-situ formation and the material systems formed using the said method have been developed. The process can be used to fabricate complex three-dimensional objects by multi-layer overlapping and the material systems can be used to build rapid tooling due to the properties of good thermal conductivity and low wear rate.

    摘要: A succession of superposed digitized sections of an object are produced from a three-dimensional representation of the object. A powder or a mixture of powders is spread in the form of a fine layer and heated to a temperature close to solid phase sintering temperature of the powder or the mixture of powders. The layer is brought to the sintering temperature by scanning with a laser beam the layer such that a selected part of the powder, corresponding to one of the digitized sections of the object to be produced, is sintered in solid phase by the additional energy supplied by the laser. Additional layers of the powder or the mixture of powders are spread, heated and scanned with the laser beam until all the digitized superposed sections of the object to be produced are obtained.

    摘要: The present invention is a method which customizes the penetration depth of a heat-fusible powder used in solid freeform fabrication process such as laser sintering. The penetration depth of the heat-fusible powder is customized by combining opaque and transparent powders at a ratio which ensures that the beam contacts a portion of powder beneath its surface, thereby promoting complete layer sintering as well as adherence to previously sintered layers.
