A tailored welded blank produced from at least two blank parts, where at least one is a press-hardenable manganese-boron steel and at least one has a coating of aluminum or an aluminum-based alloy. The parts are welded by laser-beam welding or hybrid laser/gas-metal-arc welding, while retaining the coating, using shielding gas and a filler wire having in % by weight: C: 0.41 to 0.9; Si: 0.4 to 4; Mn: 0.4 to 3; optionally Cr: 0 to 10; and with optional alloying of one or more of: Mo: 0.01 to 1.0; B: 0.0008 to 0.0040; Ti: 2.5B<=Ti<=5B; V: 0.01 to 0.4; Nb: 0.01 to 0.2; W: 0.01 to 0.2; the remainder Fe and unavoidable impurities. The high proportion of C and Cr or additionally or alternatively of Mo, V, Nb and/or W enables hardening by carbide formation in a weld-seam region after welding.

The disclosure describes assemblies, systems, and techniques for reinforcing complex geometries of pressure vessels using a pre-sintered preform (PSP) braze material that includes a low-melt powder and a high-melt powder. An example component includes a substrate comprising at least a portion of a pressure vessel. The substrate defines a contoured exterior surface of the pressure vessel. The component includes a pre-sintered preform (PSP) reinforcement formed on the surface of the substrate by brazing, wherein the PSP reinforcement comprises a low-melt powder and a high-melt powder.

A method is disclosed for producing a friction brake body, in particular a brake disc, which has a main part with a frictional contact region. A wear protection layer is produced on the frictional contact region by way of laser cladding using a laser beam oriented towards the frictional contact region. The wear protection layer is produced by at least one pulverulent additive during the laser cladding. At least two pulverulent additives are added simultaneously such that the dwell time thereof in the laser beam differs.

The present invention provides dissimilar material solid phase bonding with which a robust bonded portion of metal materials having different compositions can be formed efficiently. The present invention also provides a dissimilar material solid phase bonded structure having a dissimilar material solid phase bonded portion in which metal materials having different compositions have been bonded together robustly. In the dissimilar material solid phase bonding method according to the present invention, one member is brought into contact with another member to form an interface to be bonded, and newly formed surfaces of the one member and the other member are formed at the interface to be bonded, by means of the application of a bonding load, characterized in that: the one member and the other member have different compositions; the temperature at which the one member and the other member have substantially the same strength is defined as a bonding temperature; and the bonding load at which strength is applied substantially perpendicular to the interface to be bonded is set.

An additive manufacturing apparatus is provided and may include at least one build unit; a build platform; and at least one collector positioned on the apparatus such that the at least one collector contacts an outer surface of a build wall as the build wall is formed during a build. Methods are also provided for manufacturing at least one object.

Discussed is a welding quality inspection apparatus that can include a measurement unit including a first resistance measurement member to measure a first resistance value by directly contacting a first measurement point and a second resistance measurement member to measure a second resistance value by directly contacting a second measurement point; and a control unit to judge that a welding defect occurs and sorts a defective item when the first resistance value or the second resistance value obtained from the measurement unit exceeds a threshold resistance value.
