A sintered part has at least one base with a first end face which faces in a first axial direction and a second end face which faces in a second axial direction. The end faces are produced in a press for producing a green body (which is subsequently sintered to form the sintered part) by applying at least one punch which can be moved along the axial directions. The sintered part has an elevation extending from the first end face towards one end at least in the axial direction over a first height, and the elevation has a first width extending transversely to the axial direction in a radial direction and at least some portions of which are smaller than 0.8 millimeters, wherein at least some portions of the sintered part have a first density along the first width, said density equaling at least 87% of the full material density.

Methods and apparatuses for additive manufacturing are described. A method for additive manufacturing may include exposing a layer of material on a build surface to one or more projections of laser energy including at least one line laser having a substantially linear shape. The intensity of the line laser may be modulated so as to cause fusion of the layer of material according to a desired pattern as the one or more projections of laser energy are scanned across the build surface.

The invention relates to the nuclear industry and can be used for producing fuel pellets from uranium-molybdenum metal powders enriched to 7% uranium 235 for nuclear reactor fuel elements. The pellets are sintered in an inert atmosphere of argon at a temperature ranging from 1100° C. to 1155° C., and the initial powder is a uranium-molybdenum powder having a fraction size of 160 .Math.m and a molybdenum con¬tent of 9.0 to 10.5 wt%. The powder is pre-heated at a temperature of 500° C. for 10-20 hours (in an atmosphere of argon) and is subsequently cold pressed into pellets in a die under a force of up to 950 MPa. In an alternative emb¬odiment for producing uranium-molybdenum pellets with a binder (plasticizer), the step of sintering is preceded by heating the pellets in an atmosphere of argon at 300° C. to 450° C. for 2-4 hours to remove the binder. The invention makes it possible to increase the uranium intensity of the fuel, reduce the amount of heat buildup in a reactor core, and lower the amount of energy released in the event of abnormalities in the operation of a nuclear reactor, thus providing increased reactor safety and resilience to accidents.
