A manufacturing process includes collecting metal chips produced by a subtractive manufacturing processes and sorting the metal chips. The process further includes heating the metal chips to form a melt, removing impurities from the melt, deoxidizing the melt and atomizing the melt to form metal powder. The powder is then used to form a metal part by additive manufacturing or powder metallurgy processes.

A Fe-based amorphous soft magnetic bulk alloy has a three dimensional structure which includes a Fe-based amorphous soft magnetic component consisting of Fe.sub.a Co.sub.b P.sub.c B.sub.d Si.sub.e, wherein a, b, c d and e is the atomic percentage (at %) of each component to meet 76a80, 1b4, 9c11, 3d5 and 5e7.

A golf club head includes a heel portion, a toe portion, a hosel, and a striking face. The striking face includes a plurality of scorelines each having an average depth no less than about 0.10 mm, a plurality of micro-grooves each having an average depth no greater than about 0.010 mm, and a plurality of textured surface treatment regions superimposed on the micro-grooves so as to at least partially intersect the micro-grooves.

Methods, processes, systems, devices and apparatus are provided for additive manufacture resulting in the 3D printing of novel ceramic composites. Additive manufacture or 3D printing of bulk ceramic and ceramic composite components occurs at considerably lower temperatures and shorter manufacturing intervals than the current state of the art. The methods, processes, systems, devices and apparatus and selection of precursor resins produce ceramic and ceramic composite material systems which have not been produced before by 3D printing.

An implement including a first plate and a second plate, each plate having a contact surface which abuts a contact surface of the other plate to establish an interface plane, and a gradient of at least one additive that is more concentrated at the interface plane and less concentrated in decreasing amounts progressing away from the interface plane and the contact surface for each plate, wherein the at least one additive alters at least one property of each plate. Materials with internal gradients and methods of making same.

A metal enclosure has a surface region which is coated with cladding material using a laser cladding process. The metal enclosure can form at least a portion of an electronic device housing. All or part of one or more surfaces of the enclosure can be coated with cladding material. The coating of cladding material can be varied at selective regions of the enclosure to provide different structural properties at these regions. The coating of cladding material can be varied at selective regions to provide contrast in cosmetic appearance.

A method for reconditioning a hot gas path part of a gas turbine to flexibly adapt an operation regime of said gas turbine for subsequent operation intervals. The method includes providing a hot gas path part to be reconditioned; removing a predetermined area of the hot gas path part, resulting in a cutout at the hot gas path part; and manufacturing a coupon for insertion into the cutout to replace the removed area of the hot gas path part. The method further includes inserting the coupon into the cutout; and joining the hot gas path part with the coupon. The coupon is manufactured by a selective laser melting method resulting in a fine grain sized material with significantly improved low cycle fatigue lifetime. The hot gas path part is coated, at least in an area including the inserted coupon, with a metallic overlay with improved thermo-mechanical fatigue and oxidation lifetime.

An iron-based braze filler alloy consists of from 9 wt % to 30 wt % Cr; from 5 wt % to 25 wt % Ni; from 0.5 wt % to 9 wt % Mo; from 1 wt % to 5 wt % Mn; from 0 wt % to 1 wt % N; from 6 wt % to 20 wt % Si; from 0.1 wt % to 15 wt % P; and is balanced with Fe.

A light emitting device includes a package having a recess, a light emitting element disposed in the recess, a light-transmissive member covering an opening of the recess, and a frame member bonded to the package. The light-transmissive member is held by and between the package and the frame member.

Systems and methods for selectively making non-spherical metal nanoparticles from a metal material. The metal target surface is ablated to create an ejecta event or plume containing nanoparticles moving away from the surface. Ablation may be caused by laser or electrostatic discharge. At least one electromagnetic field is placed in front of the solid target surface being ablated. The electromagnetic field manipulates at least a portion of the nanoparticles as they move away from the target surface through the electromagnetic field to create coral-shaped metal nanoparticles. The distance between the electromagnetic field and metal surface can be adjusted to yield metal nanoparticles of a desired size and/or shape.
