The invention relates to a method for additive manufacture of a workpiece under protective gas, wherein a workpiece is assembled from a sequence of workpiece contours, each of which is manufactured by selective sintering or melting of a powdery or wire-like material by applying an energy beam thereto, wherein a workpiece contour is manufactured under the effect of a protective gas consisting of carbon dioxide and an inert gas. According to the invention, the chemical composition of each workpiece contour is modified according to a specified program by variation of the composition of the protective gas. Heat treatment occurring after manufacture of the workpiece contour provides for defined mechanical and technological quality values of the workpiece contour. A workpiece having zones with defined mechanical and technological quality values is produced in this manner.

A method for producing an additively manufactured, graded composite transition joint (AM-GCTJ) includes preparing a grating or lattice pattern from a first alloy A; the grating or lattice pattern includes pores in the grating or lattice patterns. The grating pattern is built from a first end to a second end being denser on the first end than on second end, and gradually reduces density by increasing the pore size and/or reducing density of the grating or lattice pattern; adding a second alloy B powder to the second end of grating or lattice pattern. The second alloy B powder is filled towards the first end. A composite is formed of first alloy A and second alloy B powder in the AM-GCTJ. The composite is subjected to hot isotropic pressing (HIP) to densify the composite. The second alloy B is graduated from the first end to the second end O of AM-GCTJ.
