Methods of manufacturing a manufactured component, additive manufacturing systems that perform the methods, and storage media that directs additive manufacturing systems to perform the methods. The methods include supplying a feedstock material along a scan path. The methods also include delivering, to an addition location along the scan path, an amount of energy sufficient to form a melt pool of the feedstock material at the addition location. The methods further include moving the addition location along the scan path to move the melt pool along the scan path and define a consolidated material track from the feedstock material. The delivering the amount of energy includes selectively varying the amount of energy as a function of position along the scan path to increase a uniformity of the consolidated material track and/or to increase a uniformity of a consolidated material layer that is partially defined by the consolidated material track.

This application concerns a magnet having a magnet body as well as a method for manufacturing such a magnet. The magnet body has a first region with first magnetic properties and a second region with second magnetic properties that are different to the first properties. Owing to the manufacturing process of the magnet body, the relative location of the first region and the second region within the magnet body is freely predeterminable.

A cemented carbide body includes WC in a metallic binder phase. The cemented carbide body has a bulk portion and a surface portion. The grain size of the WC in the surface portion is smaller than the grain size in the bulk portion of the body and this gives an increased surface hardness and an increased wear resistance. The median grain thickness, tg, of WC in the surface portion is 20-300 nm and the average grain size in the bulk portion is 0.5-8 m. A method of surface hardening a cemented carbide body is also provided.

Devices, systems, and methods are directed to binder jetting for forming three-dimensional parts having controlled, macroscopically inhomogeneous material composition. In general, a binder may be delivered to each layer of a plurality of layers of a powder of inorganic particles. An active component may be introduced, in a spatially controlled distribution, to at least one of the plurality of layers such that the binder, the powder of inorganic particles, and the active component, in combination, form an object. The object may be thermally processed into a three-dimensional part having a gradient of one or more physicochemical properties of a material at least partially formed from thermally processing the inorganic particles and the active component of the object.

Cutting elements for earth-boring tools may include a superhard, polycrystalline material and a substrate adjacent to and secured to the superhard, polycrystalline material at an interface. The substrate may include a first region exhibiting a first coefficient of thermal expansion and a second region exhibiting a second, different coefficient of thermal expansion. The first region may be spaced from the superhard, polycrystalline material. The second region may extend from laterally adjacent to at least a portion of the first region to longitudinally between the first region and the superhard, polycrystalline material.

A method for producing a machining segment for a machining tool, where the machining segment is connectable to a basic body of the machining tool by an underside of the machining segment, includes producing a green body by placing first hard material particles in a matrix material in a defined particle pattern, where the first hard material particles are placed in the matrix material with a respective projection with respect to the matrix material. The green body is compacted by pressure between a first press punch, which forms the underside, and a second press punch, which forms an upper side of the machining segment, to form a compact body, where the upper side is opposite from the underside. The compact body is processed by temperature or by infiltration to produce the machining segment.

Flaky magnetic metal particles of embodiments each have a flat surface and a magnetic metal phase containing iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and silicon (Si). An amount of Co is from 0.001 at % to 80 at % with respect to the total amount of Fe and Co. An amount of Si is from 0.001 at % to 30 at % with respect to the total amount of the magnetic metal phase. The flaky magnetic metal particles have an average thickness of from 10 nm to 100 ?m. An average value of the ratio of the average length in the flat surface with respect to a thickness in each of the flaky magnetic metal particles is from 5 to 10,000. The flaky magnetic metal particles have the difference in coercivity on the basis of direction within the flat surface.
