The present invention provides a method (1) of additively manufacturing an article comprising an oxide dispersion strengthened alloy, the method comprising: (5) providing a first powder comprising particles of one or more platinum group metals or an alloy thereof: (10) providing a second powder comprising particles of one or more non-platinum-group metals or metalloids, or one or more alloys thereof: (15) providing a third powder by mixing the first powder and the second powder, the third powder comprising from 0.01 to 1 wt. % of the second powder, based on the total weight of the third powder; and (20) forming an article by a powder bed fusion method using the third powder in an atmosphere comprising from greater than 0 to 2 mol. % oxygen.

The present one embodiment provides a method for manufacturing a bushing utilizing Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) discs. The initial fabrication of the CBN discs involves selecting a suitable grain size of CBN powder, compacting the powder into a preliminary bushing shape, and sintering it at a sufficient temperature to bond the grains securely. Post-sintering, the CBN form is machined into the final bushing shape with precise tolerances. This method further includes forming holes in the CBN disc, assembling the discs into an array with the desired number of fibers, and creating a carrier to hold this array.

A spinner for use in manufacturing glass fibers includes a body having an upper wall with an opening therethrough, a lower wall, and a side wall extending between the upper wall and the lower wall. The side wall comprises a plurality of orifices, and the body comprises a metal alloy material and is formed using a localized welding method, such as a directed energy deposition (DED) method.
