The present invention relates to a method for producing a component of a γ-TiAl alloy, in which, in a first step, a forging blank made of a γ-TiAl alloy is built up from a powder material by an additive method, and subsequently, in a second step, the forging blank is reshaped into a semi-finished product, wherein the degree of reshaping over the entire forging blank is high enough that, in a third step, the structure is recrystallized during a heat treatment. In addition, the invention relates to a component produced therefrom.

An iron-based alloy powder for powder metallurgy contains 2.0 mass % to 5.0 mass % of Cu, the balance being Fe and incidental impurities. From 1/10 to 8/10 of the Cu is diffusion bonded in powder-form to the surfaces of iron powder that serves as a raw material for the iron-based alloy powder, and the remainder of the Cu is contained in this iron powder as a pre-alloy. The iron-based alloy powder has superior compressibility to conventional Cu pre-alloyed iron-based alloy powders and enables production of a high strength sinter-forged member even when sintered at a lower temperature than conventional iron-based alloy powders containing mixed Cu powder.

The invention relates to a temperature control system for additive manufacturing and method for same. The temperature control system comprises: a cladding device configured to fuse a material and form a cladding layer, the cladding device comprising a first energy source; a micro-forging device coupled to the cladding device for forging the cladding layer; a detecting device; a control module; and an adjusting module coupled to at least one of the first energy source and the micro-forging device.

Aspects are provided for additively manufacturing a component based on direct energy deposition (DED). An apparatus may include a DED system configured to additively manufacture a part. The apparatus may further include a forging tool configured to forge a region of the part during the additive manufacturing. In various embodiments, a solid body is used opposite to the forging tool during the forgery. For example, the solid body may include a mandrel against which the region of the part is forged.
