An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for producing a bonded object. The method comprises a step for preparing a laminate in which a first member, a copper bonding paste, and a second member are laminated in order and a step for sintering the copper bonding paste under a pressure of 0.1-1 MPa. The copper bonding paste contains metal particles and a dispersion medium, wherein the content of metal particles is at 50 mass % or more with respect to the total mass of the copper bonding paste, and the metal particles contain 95 mass % or more of submicro copper particles with respect to the total mass of the metal particles.

A metal porous body having a connection portion where end portions in a longitudinal direction X of at least two long sheet-shaped metal porous materials are connected in a manner overlapping with each other, each of the metal porous materials having a frame with a three-dimensional network structure, the metal porous body having a recess with a thickness thinner than a thickness of each of the metal porous materials, in the connection portion, the frames of the at least two metal porous materials being entangled with each other, in the recess.

A component has a matrix phase composed of at least one material selected from the group molybdenum, a molybdenum-based alloy, tungsten, a tungsten-based alloy and a molybdenum-tungsten-based alloy. The component is manufactured using a laser or electron beam in an additive manufacturing process. The molybdenum content, the tungsten content or the total content of molybdenum and tungsten is more than 85 at %, and the component contains particulates having a melting point above the melting point of the matrix phase.

The invention relates to gamma, gamma'-cobalt-based alloys for additive manufacturing methods or soldering, welding, powder and component. By using a cobalt-based alloy based on Co-7W-7 Al-23Ni-2Ti-2Ta-12Cr-0.0IB-0.IC-(0-0.1Si), an alloy that is especially well-suited for additive manufacturing methods or high-temperature soldering is proposed.

A lead-free solder alloy consisting essentially of: 32 mass % or more and 40 mass % or less of Bi; 0.1 mass % or more and 1.0 mass % or less of Sb; 0.1 mass % or more and 1.0 mass % or less of Cu; 0.001 parts by mass or more and 0.1 parts by mass or less of Ni; and a remainder of Sn with unavoidable impurities. The lead-free solder alloy further contains specific elements in amounts in predetermined ranges.

Methods of manufacturing or repairing a turbine blade or vane are described. The airfoil portions of these turbine components are typically manufactured by casting in a ceramic mold, and a surface made up of the cast airfoil and at the least the ceramic core serves as a build surface for a subsequent process of additively manufacturing the tip portions. The build surface is created by removing a top portion of the airfoil and the core, or by placing an ultra-thin shim on top of the airfoil and the core. The overhang projected by the shim is subsequently removed. These methods are not limited to turbine engine applications, but can be applied to any metallic object that can benefit from casting and additive manufacturing processes. The present disclosure also relates to finished and intermediate products prepared by these methods.

The invention is related to a high gamma prim nickel based superalloy, its use and a method of manufacturing of turbine engine components by welding, 3D additive manufacturing, casting and hot forming, and the superalloy comprises 9.0-10.5 wt. % Cr, 20-22 wt. % Co, 1.0-1.4 wt. % Mo, 5.0-5.8 wt. % W, 2.0-6.0 wt. % Ta, 3.0-6.5 wt. % Al, 0.2-0.5 wt. % Hf, 0.01-0.16 wt. % C, 1.5-3.5 wt. % Re, 0-1.0 Ge wt. %, 0-0.2 wt. % Y, 0-1 wt. % Si, 0-0.015 wt. % B and nickel with impurities to balance.

A method for forming a component includes providing a first layer of a mixture of first and second powders. The method includes determining the frequency of an alternating magnetic field to induce eddy currents sufficient to bulk heat only one of the first and second powders. The alternating magnetic field is applied at the determined frequency to a portion of the first layer of the mixture using a flux concentrator. Exposure to the magnetic field changes the phase of at least a portion of the first powder to liquid. The liquid portion couples to at least some of the second powder and subsequently solidifies to provide a composite component.

Methods and systems for providing a cold plate assembly include providing a base and a cover. The cover can be fixedly coupled to the base. Each of the base and the cover can include spaced internal ribs, which can form flow paths when the base and cover are fixedly coupled together. The internal ribs of the base and the cover can have spaced tabs that can be fixedly coupled to the other of the base or the cover. The base and the cover may also include spaced external or outer sacrificial ribs.

A laser welded joint improving the tensile shear strength without causing an increase in the welding time and without using an expensive remote laser head, that is, a laser welded joint obtained by arranging metal sheets overlaid and welding them by a laser beam from the overlaid direction, wherein when a total thickness of the metal sheets welded overlaid is “t” (mm), the width of the weld metal at the joined interface is 0.6t1/3+0.14 (mm) or more.
