A method for manufacturing an additively manufactured article, the method comprising subjecting a powder material comprising a first powder containing a precipitation hardening stainless steel and a second powder containing titanium carbide to weaving irradiation with a laser beam to melt and solidify the powder material, thereby laminating at least one hardened clad layer on a base material. In the step for laminating the clad layer, the following requirements are satisfied: 20≤A≤35, 1.1≤B≤1.3, and (40% by mass)≤R2≤(65% by mass). In the formulae, A represents a laser heat input index, B represents a powder feeding rate index, and R2 represents a content ratio of the second powder in the powder material.

A bus bar formed using a metal plate is provided. The metal plate includes one or more holes extending through the metal plate on a bend line. The bus bar includes a folded part formed by bending the metal plate along the bend line through hemming. The folded part includes a first region and a second region. The first region is located between an outer edge of the metal plate and the bend line. The second region overlaps in close contact with the first region. The bus bar also includes a terminal arranged in the first region. The folded part includes one or more welds in which the first region and the second region are welded to each other.

A laser welding method includes a welding step of applying a laser beam to a surface of a workpiece while the laser beam is caused to advance in an X-direction and scanning with the laser beam is simultaneously performed in a Y-direction intersecting the X-direction. The welding step includes a first weaving step of causing the laser beam to weave in the Y-direction with first amplitude (A.sub.1), and a second weaving step of causing the laser beam to weave with a predetermined amplitude smaller than first amplitude (A.sub.1) at both end portions of a weaving trajectory drawn by the laser beam in the first weaving step.

A high melt superalloy powder mixture is provided for use with additive manufacturing or welding metal components or portions thereof. The high melt superalloy powder may include by weight about 7.7% to about 18% chromium, about 10.6% to about 11% cobalt, about 4.5% to about 6.5% aluminum, about 10.6% to about 11% tungsten, about 0.3% to about 0.55% molybdenum, about 0.05% to about 0.08% carbon, and at least 40% nickel.

Described herein are examples of weld training systems that show (e.g., transparent and/or translucent) “ghost” images of a welding tool on a display screen of a welding headgear to indicate target positions and/or target orientations of an actual welding tool. In some examples, the weld training systems may additionally “reset” the target tool image to a position closer to the actual welding tool if the target tool image gets too far away. The ability to “reset” the target tool image to a position closer to the actual welding tool may help in minimizing a risk that an operator 106 will overcompensate to try to catch up with the target tool image, which can be detrimental to the weld. Additionally, resetting the target tool image to a position closer the welding tool may allow an operator to better perceive and/or understand differences in orientation and/or other technique parameters.

Provided is a system for detecting a poor weld in a welded portion of a battery module, the system including a battery module fixation unit fixing the battery module to be inspected, an inspection position movement unit moving the battery module fixation unit to a welding inspection position, a welding inspection unit including a frictional reaction force measurement unit inducing a slight movement of the welded portion of the battery module and measuring a frictional reaction force generated thereby and a vision inspection camera detecting an amount of change in a position of the welded portion of the battery module, and a control unit determining whether the welded portion of the battery module is poorly welded based on the frictional reaction force and the amount of position change, measured by the welding inspection unit.
