Abstract:
One embodiment includes a method for enhancing bond strength between a powder deposit and a substrate. Powder is deposited on the substrate. Powder is shot peened with peening media that is harder than both the powder and the substrate to produce bond strength between the powder and the substrate that is at least twice bond strength between the powder and the substrate without shot peening.
Abstract:
A system is provided for additively manufacturing a part. This additive manufacturing system includes a base, a solidification device and a detection device. The base is adapted to support material; e.g., powder material. The solidification device is adapted to solidify at least a portion of the supported material to form at least a portion of the part. The detection device is adapted to detect emissions produced by the solidification of at least a portion of the material.
