    Abstract: Removal of the support structure from the workpiece is in an easily automated way. A method for removing support structure includes: suspending abrasive into a process liquid; cutting a support structure along a cutting surface from an additively manufactured workpiece having a support surface, the support surface including the support structure for fixing the workpiece to a build platform; installing the workpiece with the support structure remaining on the support surface in the process liquid with suspended abrasive; immersing a nozzle for ejecting a cavitation jet of the process liquid into the process liquid; and ejecting the cavitation jet onto the workpiece from the nozzle immersed in the process liquid such that an angle between an ejection axis of the cavitation jet ejected from the nozzle and the support surface is between 0 to 20 degrees to remove the remaining support structure adhered to the workpiece.

    Abstract: A diffusion-bonded powder having an iron powder having 1-5%, preferably 1.5-4% and most preferably 1.5-3.5% by weight of copper particles diffusion bonded to the surfaces of the iron powder particles. The diffusion bonded powder is suitable for producing components having high sintered density and minimum variation in copper content. The iron powder may be produced by providing an atomized iron powder with an oxygen content of 0.3-1.2% by weight and with a carbon content of 0.1-0.5% by weight, and subjecting the atomized iron powder and a copper containing powder to a reduction annealing process in a reducing atmosphere to obtain the iron based powder.
