A method for manufacturing a hollow part made of ceramic matrix or metal matrix composite, includes preparing a raw material including short fibers and a ceramic matrix precursor charge, positioning a sacrificial core in a molding cavity of injection-molding equipment, shaping the raw material by injection molding the raw material into the free space between the sacrificial core and an internal wall of the cavity to obtain a green part including the sacrificial core and the shaped raw material, extracting the green part from the equipment, densifying the raw material by flash sintering of the green part to transform the charge into a ceramic matrix, removing the sacrificial core to obtain a hollow part made of ceramic matrix or metal matrix composite, wherein the sacrificial core is coated with a flexible graphite sheet, with a graphite layer deposited by spraying or with a boron nitride paint layer before the injecting.

A process of producing an article and an article made are provided. The process includes producing a near-net shape component. The process includes forming a consolidation shell by additive manufacturing. The consolidation shell defines an interior space having a geometry corresponding to a component. A metallic powder is provided to the interior space. Gas is removed from the interior space. The metallic powder is consolidated in the consolidation shell under sufficient heat and pressure to form the near-net shape component.

The molding die of the invention includes: a first die having a through-hole; a second die inserted into the through-hole and capable of moving relative to the first die; and a first punch and a second punch each insertable into the through-hole. A cavity surrounded by the second die, the first punch, and the second punch to compression-mold a molding object is formed in the through-hole. An undercut molding part is formed in the surface of the second die facing the cavity. The second die is formed so as to be splittable into two or more split bodies.

A method for producing a metallic green compact 61 relates to a method for producing the green compact 61 having at least one recess 62, including a step of subjecting a raw material powder filled in a resin mold 1 to cold isostatic pressing while placing a resin core material 11 having a shape corresponding to the recess 62 at a position corresponding to the recess 62 in the resin mold 1.

A method for producing a three-dimensional model via additive manufacturing includes building a green block in a layerwise manner with a powder material and a solidifiable non-powder material. The green block includes a green usable model. The solidified non-powder material is removed from the green block to extract the green usable model from the green block and the density of the green usable model is increased by applying Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP). The green usable model is then sintered to produce a three-dimensional model.

A cylinder for a molding machine comprising a HIP-sintered lining layer on an inner surface of a cylindrical steel body, the lining layer comprising 38-70% by volume of tungsten carbide particles having a median diameter d.sub.50 of 1-7 μm and a matrix composed of an Ni-based alloy, and the maximum length of the matrix in an arbitrary cross section being 12 μm or less.

A method for making a component comprising a high entropy alloy (HEA) includes combining a reaction component with a powdered HEA precursor, igniting the combination of the reaction component and the powdered HEA precursor to induce a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction and to form a solid HEA feedstock, converting the solid HEA feedstock into a powder HEA feedstock, and additively manufacturing at least a portion of the powder feedstock into a HEA component or HEA preformed shape approximating a desired shape of the component.

Aspects of the embodiments set forth a sacrificial plug system including a component having a surface and at least one cooling hole in the surface; a sacrificial plug integrally formed with the component and integrally formed in the at least one cooling hole, where the sacrificial plug includes a top portion; a cover portion; and a bottom portion, the bottom portion integrally formed, engaged to, and connected to at least one cooling hole. The sacrificial plug system also includes at least one connective member integrally formed with the bottom portion of the sacrificial plug and integral with an inner wall of each respective at least one cooling hole; each at least one connective member being severable from the respective inner wall when a force is applied to the top portion, thus permitting the sacrificial plug to be removed from the at least one respective cooling hole.

A method of manufacturing a shroud segment for gas turbine engine includes providing an insert having a plurality of pins that extend into a platform cavity portion of a mold cavity. A powder injection molding feedstock is injected. When the green part is disengaged from the mold, each elongated feature is slid out of the green part to define a respective elongated cooling passage in the platform. The method may include, after debinding and sintering, projecting a coating material while defining an obstruction between source of coating material and the open end of each elongated feature with a shoulder of the element to prevent the coating material from reaching the open end, followed by machining to remove at least a part of the shoulder.

The present invention discloses a preparation method for a hollow radiator and a hollow radiator. The preparation method comprises the following steps: 1) providing a feed and an insert raw material; 2) molding the insert raw material into an insert; 3) placing the insert in a cavity of a mold, and filling the cavity with the feed by injection molding in such a manner that the insert is surrounded by the feed, thereby obtaining a green body with the insert; 4) performing debinding treatment on the green body with the insert to remove the insert, thereby obtaining the green body of a hollow structure; and 5) sintering the green body to obtain the hollow radiator. By the preparation method for a hollow radiator according to the present invention, a radiator of a complex hollow structure can be fabricated, and the heat dissipation effect of the radiator can be improved. Moreover, the airtightness and leakproofness of the radiator can be guaranteed for a long time.
