Abstract:
This invention relates to the synthesis of Al/SiC based functionally gradient materials using a new technique termed here as gradient slurry disintegration and deposition. Gradients of SiC were successfully established using this technique for the starting weight percentages up to 20%. The results were confirmed using microstructural characterization techniques and microhardness measurements. Functionally gradient materials synthesized using this method holds the promise where differential tribological characteristics and the strength/toughness combinations may be required from the opposite surfaces.

Abstract:
A process produces the pre-alloyed superalloy powders having the constituents homogeneously dispersed throughout and of high purity by placing a shaped article of preselected metallic content in an induction furnace, melting the article by induction heating in a relatively short period of time, forming droplets of molten metal, subjecting the molten metal to a centrifugal force by a rotating disk, cooling the droplets into superalloy particles, collecting the metal particles and providing an inert gas having less than 1 ppm of oxygen, water and nitrogen throughout the foregoing steps.

Abstract:
An additive manufacturing machine includes a plurality of subsystems, such as a condensate evacuation subsystem for removing byproducts of the additive manufacturing products near a powder bed, a closed loop subsystem for cleaning contaminants from sensitive machine components, and/or an electronics cooling subsystem for cooling an electronics compartment. Each subsystem may include a dedicated gas circulation loop that is operably coupled to a gas circulation device for urging a clean flow of gas to each of the subsystems to perform a particular function.
