摘要:
A method, product, apparatus, and article of manufacture for the application of the Composite Based Additive Manufacturing (CBAM) method to produce objects in metal, and in metal fiber hybrids or composites. The approach has many advantages, including the ability to produce more complex geometries than conventional methods such as milling and casting, improved material properties, higher production rates and the elimination of complex fixturing, complex tool paths and tool changes and, for casting, the need for patterns and tools. The approach works by slicing a 3D model, selectively printing a fluid onto a sheet of substrate material for each layer based on the model, flooding onto the substrate a powdered metal to which the fluid adheres in printed areas, clamping and aligning a stack of coated sheets, heating the stacked sheets to melt the powdered metal and fuse the layers of substrate, and removing excess powder and unfused substrate.

A three-dimensional (3D) printing method includes applying a build material, including: a plurality of first reactive particles; a plurality of second reactive particles, the first and second reactive particles to react with each other upon contact there with; and a coating on i) the plurality of first reactive particles; or ii) the plurality of second reactive particles; or iii) both i) and ii). The coating is to isolate the plurality of first reactive from the plurality of second reactive particles. A fluid is selectively applied on a portion of the build material, the fluid disrupting the coating on the portion of the build material to render the first and second reactive particles in the portion of the build material in contact with each other. The contact initiates mutual reacting and fusing between the first and second reactive particles.

The invention relates to a manufacturing system and method for manufacturing a part. A negative powder forms a holder suitable to hold particles of a positive powder in proximity to one another. A connection scheme such as heating, the use of pressure and/or a binder, when employed, connects the particles to one another to form the part.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing nanoparticles by using laser and more particularly, a method for preparing nanoparticles by irradiating a laser beam to the mixture of a source material gas and a hexafluoride (SF6) catalyst gas, thereby improving the production yield of nanoparticles with energy saved. More particularly, the present invention provides the method for preparing the nanoparticles by using the laser wherein the laser beam of wavelength having the excellent energy absorption by the mixture gas of source material gas and catalyst gas is irradiated to the mixture gas so as to increase the reactivity of the source material gas with energy saved, which brings the effects of solving the problems of damaging environment due to the unreacted toxic source material gas incurred by the low production yield of the conventional nanoparticle preparation method and of making system complicated with the high cost when the discarded source gas is recovered and reused.

A metal microparticle coated with metal hydride nanoparticles is disclosed. Some variations provide a material comprising a plurality of microparticles (1 micron to 1 millimeter) containing a metal or metal alloy and coated with a plurality of nanoparticles (less than 1 micron) containing a metal hydride or metal alloy hydride. The invention eliminates non-uniform distribution of sintering aids by attaching them directly to the surface of the microparticles. No method is previously known to exist which can assemble nanoparticle metal hydrides onto the surface of a metal microparticle. Some variations provide a solid article comprising a material with a metal or metal alloy microparticles coated with metal hydride or metal alloy hydride nanoparticles, wherein the nanoparticles form continuous or periodic inclusions at or near grain boundaries within the microparticles.

A method of forming an article includes forming a layer of a mixture of at least two distinct metal powders selected such that when combined they are chemically in the proportions of a superalloy containing a gamma prime phase, and fusing the powders locally without diffusion to define the shape of a part of the article such that the materials of the distinct metal powders remain substantially chemically segregated forming regions of different chemical composition. The method further includes repeating the forming and fusing until the derived article is formed, and heat treating the finished article such that at least one of the distinct separate materials diffuses to form a gamma prime phase containing superalloy with the other.
摘要:
A powder for a sintered valve sheet made of an iron-based alloy is provided, which has excellent compactibility and abrasion resistance and from which a carbide that may abrade a counterpart is not precipitated. A powder is provided, wherein a molten steel, in which carbon is controlled to be less than 0.1% by mass to avoid precipitation of a carbide, 0.5 to 8.5% by mass of Si, 10 to 25% by mass of Ni, 5 to 20% by mass of Mo, and 5 to 20% by mass of Co are contained, and a remainder includes Fe and incidental impurities, is rapidly cooled by a conventional technique such as a gas atomization method, a water atomization method, or a centrifugal force atomization method, so that a supersaturated solid solution of the alloy elements consisting mainly of austenite, which is effective in softening the powder, is formed. Since the powder has low hardness, the compactibility is excellent at the time of compression molding. On the other hand, since the powder is hardened after sintering, a valve sheet as a final product has excellent abrasion resistance. In addition, since no carbide is precipitated, the counterpart may not be abraded.
摘要:
In a process for producing organic substrate particles bonded to switchable ferromagnetic nanoparticles with a mean particle diameter in the range from 10 to 1000 nm, the ferromagnetic nanoparticles used are those nanoparticles which are nonferromagnetic at first, but become ferromagnetic when the temperature is lowered, these at first nonferromagnetic nanoparticles in dispersed form are bonded to the organic substance particles, and then the nanoparticles bonded to the substrate particles are made ferromagnetic as a result of the temperature being lowered.
