Provided is a fluid composition for three-dimensional shaping used for manufacturing a three-dimensionally shaped object, and contains constituent material particles formed from metal and constituting the three-dimensionally shaped object and nanofiber containing at least one of chitosan nanofiber and cellulose nanofiber. By using such a fluid composition for three-dimensional shaping, the ejectability for manufacturing the three-dimensionally shaped object can be improved, and sediment of the constituent materials can be suppressed.

In the present invention, after a primary coating film is formed by boehmite treatment of the surface of a core particle in a solution comprising Al ions, a secondary coating film is formed by cooling the solution to the supersaturation temperature of the Al ions to cause deposition of a hydroxide of aluminum on the surface of the primary coating film, and an Al oxide film is formed on the surface of the core particle by heat treating the secondary coating film in an oxidizing atmosphere. Consequently, the shell is thickened by the amount of secondary coating film formed, so that the cyclic strength of the capsule can be secured and the composition change of the PCM in the production process is remarkably suppressed.

A thermal spray material feedstock is provided for flash-carbide coatings. Flash carbide coatings are thin, dense, and smooth thermal spray coatings that self-activate the substrate. Flash-carbide coatings form and peen the coating to impart compressive stress for good adhesion and corrosion resistance. To achieve this combination of properties and performance, a powder that includes fine, dense, and angular particles is used; however, this powder alone results in a poor deposition efficiency of typically less than 20%. The present disclosure mitigates the poor deposition efficiency of this powder alone by providing a composition having two or more different particles at a specific ratio to improve deposition efficiency with sufficient optimized stress and corrosion properties and, in some cases, an increase in coating performance.

Embodiments of a method for producing powder mixtures having uniform dispersion of ceramic particles within larger superalloy particles are provided, as are embodiments of superalloy powder mixtures. In one embodiment, the method includes producing an initial powder mixture comprising ceramic particles mixed with superalloy mother particles having an average diameter larger than the average diameter of the ceramic particles. The initial powder mixture is formed into a consumable solid body. At least a portion of the consumable solid body is gradually melted, while the consumable solid body is rotated at a rate of speed sufficient to cast-off a uniformly dispersed powder mixture in which the ceramic particles are embedded within the superalloy mother particles.

Implementations provide gas atomized metal matrix composite (GAMMC)-based feedstock for cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) enabling complex structural repairs. The feedstock is prepared by arranging a metal matrix composite (MMC) material in a gas atomization system, wherein the MMC material includes metal particles and ceramic particles. The feedstock is further prepared by performing gas atomization of the MMC material using the gas atomization system to atomize the MMC material, and producing a feedstock powder comprised of metal particles that are embedded with the ceramic particles from the atomized MMC material. The GAMMC-based feedstock comprises metallic (for binding to the substrate of the damaged part) and ceramic (for reinforcement) particles bonded together such that the ceramic particles bond directly to and within the metallic particles. GAMMC-based feedstock strengthens the repaired part and prevents degradation of the mechanical properties of the repaired part below stock specifications.

A method includes applying a material coating to a surface of a machine component, wherein the material coating is formed from a combination of a hardfacing material, aluminum-containing particles, and a braze material. The method also includes thermally treating the material coating at a temperature to generate an oxide layer comprising aluminum from the aluminum-containing particles, wherein the oxide layer is configured to reduce oxidation of the hardfacing material, and the braze material is configured to facilitate binding between the material coating and the surface of the machine component.

An R-T-B based permanent magnet material, a preparation method therefor and use thereof are provided. The R-T-B permanent magnet material forms M oxides at the grain boundary triple point, such that oxygen is enriched at the grain boundary triple point, thereby accurately controlling the oxygen content in the magnet. The permanent magnet material and the preparation method of the present disclosure can prepare products with strong corrosion resistance under the condition of unchanged magnetic properties, and improve the formability in the pressing process, thereby improving the qualified rate of the products.

The present disclosure relates to an iron-based mixed powder having excellent uniformity, fluidity and moldability by applying polyamide as a binder, and a method for manufacturing the same. The iron-based mixed powder according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is composed of a mixture of a raw material of mixed powder in which iron-based powder and additive powder are mixed, and polyamide as a binder, wherein 0.03 to 1.50 parts by weight of the binder is mixed based on 100 parts by weight of the raw material of the mixed powder.

Articles are manufactured using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reactions. Particulates including reactants can be blended to form a particulate blend. The particulate blend can be preformed. The preform article can be heated to a pre-heat temperature being below an auto-activation temperature and above a minimum compression activated synthesis temperature. Compressive stress can be exerted on the preform article at the pre-heat temperature to initiate the SHS reaction between the reactants and thereby form a product metallic compound. At approximately peak temperature, a flow stress of the product metallic compound can be exceeded to substantially reduce porosity and thereby form a shaped substantially dense article.
