Abstract:
A method of forming a hollow structure in an additively manufactured object involves creating a pattern on a surface of a base material of the object with a sacrificial metal filler having a melting point of 350° C. or less, the pattern defining a shape of the hollow structure on the base material. A metal layering material is cold sprayed over the sacrificial metal filler and at least a portion of the base material. The sacrificial metal filler is removed from the pattern by melting the sacrificial metal filler without melting or deforming the base material or the metal layering material to leave the hollow structure in the object formed from the pattern. Non-standard cold spray conditions are used with the metal layering material to prevent damage and or displacement of the filler while still forming a coating of the metal layering material on the filler and base material.
