Solid-state additive manufacturing processes for joining dissimilar materials and parts are described. Processes include feeding a first material through a hollow tool of a solid-state additive manufacturing machine to contact a second material, generating deformation of the materials by applying normal, shear and/or frictional forces using a rotating shoulder of the tool such that the materials are in a malleable and/or visco-elastic state in an interface region, and mixing and joining the materials in that region. The joining can include interlocks of various shapes in the interface region. One or multiple taggants can be included in deposited material and/or layers, which taggants respond when triggered by specific external stimulus, such as becoming visible upon subjecting to light of a particular wavelength, heating, electric field, and so on. Some taggants are capable of multiple levels of security effects which can be seen by the naked eye or by using special detectors/readers.

A method of forming a porous coating layer on a surface of an implant for implantation into the living body is provided. The method includes a first step of providing an implant base body, which is made of a material including a metal component, and a second step of sintering metal powder on a surface of the implant base body using rapid prototyping. In the second step, a laser beam irradiation tool necessary for the rapid prototyping repeatedly moves along a predetermined movement path to sinter the metal powder, which is sprayed along the predetermined movement path, on the surface of the implant base body, and an inflection point is present between semicircular curved section paths in the predetermined movement path.

A method for selectively adhering braze powders to a surface comprises applying a binder material to a surface, depositing a braze powder on the binder material, and then directing a laser beam onto the braze powder while the laser beam moves along a predetermined path relative to the surface. The laser beam selectively heats the braze powder and the binder material along the predetermined path such that the binder material is removed and the braze powder is sintered and bonded to the surface. Thus, a braze deposit is formed at one or more predetermined locations on the surface. After forming the braze deposit, excess braze powder and binder material, that is, the braze powder and binder material not selectively heated by the laser, are removed from the surface.

The disclosure describes an example technique that includes cold spraying first particles and second particles of a metal alloy on at least a portion of a surface of a substrate to form a deposit on the surface of the substrate. The first and second particles have been subjected to different heat treatments prior to cold spraying. Cold spraying involves accelerating the first particles and the second particles toward the surface of the substrate without melting or creating other thermally induced changes to a microstructure of the first and second particles. As a result, the first particles form a first, heat-treated component and the second particles form a second non-heat-treated or differently-heat-treated component, and the particles and substrate are not subject to a heat treatment during the cold spray process that may further modify their thermomechanical properties.
