A method for marking a component by applying a marking into a surface of the component includes the following steps: providing a powder; producing a green compact from the powder by filling the powder into a mold and pressing the filled-in powder; applying a multi-dimensional code into/onto the surface of the green compact as a marking; sintering the green compact; optionally hardening the sintered green compact; wherein the multi-dimensional code is generated on a pressing surface of the green compact in one single step.

A method of fabricating an airfoil preform for a turbine engine by selective melting on a bed of powder, the preform including an airfoil and a removable support secured to the airfoil, the airfoil being fabricated layer by layer from a first edge to a second edge of the airfoil, the method including fabricating the removable support and the airfoil, the removable support being for securing to a fabrication platform and to a portion of a face of the airfoil situated near the first edge and facing the fabrication platform. The face of the airfoil facing the fabrication platform includes a flat extending away from the face, the flat being present over a portion of the face that is situated outside the first edge, the support being secured to the flat or both to the flat and to the portion of the face that is situated outside the first edge.

By melting a shaping material in which a metal powder and a binder are mixed and by carrying out injection molding (primary shaping) in an injection mold, an injection molded body, or an intermediate shaped body are produced. The injection molded body or the intermediate shaped body is placed by a transfer mold and is subjected to a gravity shaping (secondary shaping) with a transformation. A sintered body is manufactured by carrying out debindering and sintering to the injection molded body.

The present disclosure relates to a method of forming a component and at least one support structure joined to the component by additive layer manufacturing, wherein the support structure has a reduced density and/or increased porosity relative to the component. The method then comprises a subsequent heat treatment step at increased pressure on the component and support structure to separate the component and at least one support structure.

The method also includes positioning a plurality of fibers on the formation surface of the tool. The method also includes depositing a layer of material on the plurality of fibers using a cold-spray technique. The method also includes removing the layer of material with the plurality of fibers from the tool to create the reinforced metallic structure.

A method of additively manufacturing includes generating a thermal model driven scan map that identifies an equiaxed cap region, a single crystal (SX) region, and a columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) region; and forming an active melt pool with respect to the thermal model driven scan map such that a depth of the active melt pool is greater than a thickness of the equiaxed transition (CET) region.
