1/29 “METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING A PIECE”
Field of Technique [001] The achievements of technology generally refer to methods of manufacture and, in particular, to a method of manufacturing a three-dimensional object using powdered products.
Background of the Invention [002] For the production of complex and high-performance articles, metallurgical powder processing has been used and often provides significant advantages over other forge and smelting processing routes. Multiple techniques have been developed to process powder or particulate materials into essential and completely dense bulky articles that include pressing and sintering, deformation and densification, and additive manufacturing. In each of these techniques, the complexity and cost of producing the processing need to be considered when defining effective routes for the production of articles. The cost of the raw material and the amount of forming or machining processing after densification can also significantly affect the selection of optimized processing routes. The processing route can also affect the physical, microstructural and mechanical properties resulting from the article and, therefore, the performance level of the article can also be considered in defining the process route. In order to produce complex and high-performance articles, several typical techniques are known in the art.
[003] For articles with complex formats, additive manufacturing processes have been used because they have the ability to produce network or quasi-network formats directly. Electron beam fusion (EBM) and direct metal laser fusion (DMLM) are examples of types of additive manufacturing for three-dimensional articles, especially for metallic objects.

They are often classified as rapid manufacturing methods, due to the fact that they also have the advantage of being able to produce part of an electronic definition without the need to produce specialized tooling that can often lead to long waiting times for the production of articles by other processing routes. Many of the additive processing technologies that include EBM and DMLM technologies manufacture three-dimensional objects by melting powder layer by layer with a laser beam or an electron beam in a high vacuum layer in the case of EBM, and in a chamber, typically under inert gas for DMLM. For example, an EBM or DMLM machine reads the data from a three-dimensional model and places the successive layers of powder material according to the three-dimensional model. These layers of powdered material are fused together using a computer-controlled laser or electron beam. In this way, the three-dimensional object to be manufactured is constructed. The process takes place under vacuum for EBM, while DMLM can be carried out under vacuum or inert gas, such as argon, which makes it suitable to manufacture three-dimensional objects from reactive materials with a high affinity for oxygen, for example, titanium. These techniques are particularly well suited for producing limited numbers of parts of intermediate or low volumes due to the typical deposition rates used. However, when the number of three-dimensional objects to be manufactured is relatively large, the total manufacturing process can take much longer. This will require that more EBM and / or DMLM machines be used to service production that will increase investment.
[004] For larger and simpler articles, canning and powder densification processing is also used. With these powder metallurgical processes, materials are typically placed in a can that isolates materials from the surrounding environment and provides a means
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 10/55
3/29 transfer for additional processes, such as hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and pneumatic isostatic forging (PIF). Cans are typically made from sheet materials and welded in the format of interest to produce an article. The cans are oversized compared to the shape and size of the desired final product so that the shrinkage that occurs during densification is considered. The cans can be filled with loose powder or can be used to encapsulate pressed or semi-porous powder preforms. Cans provide a way in which powder materials can be mechanically pressed into a semi-porous or porous object, which is suitable for handling, transferring and consolidating or densifying on a target object. However, the use of the can requires several extra steps and results in the greatest loss of yield (due, in part, to the interaction between the materials and the can material), thereby reducing efficiency and increasing cost. The cost and complexity of the can can contribute significantly to the total cost and time required to produce articles or objects of dust.
[005] Being processed through additive manufacturing processes or by canning loose compacted products partially densified, the materials are frequently subjected to densification processes that use high temperature and pressure, or both, in order to completely densify the structure. Some examples of such processing include sintering, hot pressing and isostatic hot pressing (HIP). Additionally, US Patent No. 5,816,090 discloses a process for consolidating powder to objects pneumatic isostatic forging use (PIF). Rather than applying heat and pressure simultaneously over a long period of time, as in the typical HIP process, the '090 patent depends on high temperatures and higher pressures over a short period of time in a pneumatic isostatic forging process. The '090 patent describes the seal
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 11/55
4/29 only partially from the external surface of the workpiece or from coating the workpiece with a potentially reactive material, before the “pre-sintering” step revealed in it. Therefore, the ‘090 patent reveals solutions that apply only to the process described therein and depends on extra steps not used in typical HIP processes.
[006] Sintering and pressing processes are also used by which the powders are placed in a matrix and pressed into a shape, released from the matrix and then sintered at high temperatures in order to densify by diffusion. In this processing route, larger part volumes may be viable, but the resulting articles are typically limited in geometry and in the final density level and may be less than other metallurgical powder processing routes.
[007] Often, metallurgical powder processing is used to produce high-performance materials with properties that are difficult or impossible to achieve using standard forging and casting methods. Processing routes that involve solid state processing (pressing and sintering or canning and densification, for example) can be advantageous in foundry-based additive processing routes insofar as fine-scale microstructural resources can be maintained through processing and none of the solidification-type structures can be produced during processing. Such restrictions can also hamper optimal processing for complex, high-performance materials.
[008] For these and other reasons, there is a need for increased efficiency and cost savings in the field of rapid manufacturing and, in particular, in densification processes that involve powder metallurgy processing and subsequent densification through processes such as HIP and / or PIF.

Description of the Invention [009] One or more aspects are summarized in the present invention to facilitate a basic understanding of the present invention, in which an induction of the present invention does not extend the overview and is also not intended to identify certain elements of the present invention, nor is it intended to leave that range. On the contrary, the main purpose of induction is to present some concepts of the present invention in a simplified way before more detailed descriptions are presented below.
[010] One aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for making a three-dimensional part. The method includes: performing partial densification processing on the loose machining powder, to form a sealed, dense casing, in which there is still loose machining powder accommodated within the casing; and perform the general densification processing in the housing and the machining powder inside the housing, so as to implant the metallurgical adhesion between the machining powder inside the housing and the housing during densification, thereby forming a part three-dimensional target.
[011] Another aspect of the present invention is to provide another method for making a three-dimensional part. The method includes: performing partial densification processing on the loose machining powder using EBM technology, to form a sealed and densified vacuum housing, in which there is still loose machining powder accommodated inside the housing; repeat the previous step until a predetermined number of shells accommodating the loose machining powder are machined; and perform general densification processing simultaneously on the predetermined number of shells that accommodate the loose machining powder, in order to implant the metallurgical adhesion between the machining powder inside the various shells and a corresponding sheath during densification,
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 13/55
6/29 thereby simultaneously forming the predetermined number of target three-dimensional pieces.
[012] Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide another method for making a three-dimensional part. The method includes: performing partial densification processing on the loose machining powder through the use of additive manufacturing technology, to form a dense envelope with an air passage tube, in which there is still loose machining powder accommodated in the interior of the enclosure; connect the air passage tube to an air extraction device for discharging gas from the enclosure; performing seal processing in the enclosure after a vacuum degree inside the enclosure reaches a predetermined value; repeat the previous step until a predetermined number of vacuum sealed shells that accommodate the loose machining powder are machined; and perform the general densification processing simultaneously in the predetermined number of shells that accommodate the loose machining powder, in order to implant the metallurgical adhesion between the machining powder inside the various shells and a corresponding sheath during densification, thus forming , simultaneously the predetermined number of target three-dimensional pieces.
[013] Yet another aspect of the present invention is to provide another method for making a three-dimensional part. The method includes: performing the first densification processing on the loose machining powder, to form a permeable porous half-finished piece that has a first density level; performing the second densification processing on an outer surface area of the half-finished part, to form the outer surface area in a sealed enclosure that has a second density level; and perform general densification processing on the outer surface area that has the second density level and an inner area that has the first density level, to form a three-dimensional part

7/29 target.
[014] In comparison with the state of the art, in the present invention, a three-dimensional part is manufactured and machined in stages. First, selective casing machining is performed on loose machining powder using, for example, an additive manufacturing technology. In this way, in a situation where a large number of target parts must be machined, efficiency is significantly improved and energy consumption is significantly reduced due to the fact that only one housing section, which occupies a very small portion of the part is machined in the step. In this way, in a subsequent stage of a HIP or PIF technology, the general densification processing is carried out simultaneously in the numerous previous casings which are finished by machining and accommodate the machining powder, in order to machine numerous target three-dimensional parts in one turn. Due to the fact that the half-finished parts are machined simultaneously at once in the step, efficiency is also improved and energy consumption is also reduced. In addition, the metallurgical adhesion between the casing and the machining powder inside the casing is implanted in the step without applying a conventional can to aid machining. In this way, a manufacturing technique is significantly simplified.

In addition, the terms “coupled” and “connected” are not intended to distinguish between an indirect or direct connection / coupling between two components. Preferably, such components can be directly or indirectly coupled / connected unless otherwise indicated.
[018] With reference to Figure 1, an exemplary EBM machine 10 for making three-dimensional objects is shown. For ease of explanation, only certain parts of the EBM 10 machine are shown in Figure 1. As an example, the EBM 10 machine includes an electron beam gun 11, a vacuum chamber 12, a construction table 13, a dust container 14 and a controller 15. In other embodiments, the EBM machine 10 may have other different configurations. In addition, instead of using an EBM machine, alternative designs can use any possible way to emit energy or heat, including, but not limited to, direct metal laser fusion, laser and infrared sintering.
[019] The electron beam gun 11 is used to generate an electron beam 112 to melt the powder 142 located on the construction table 13 layer by layer according to a three-dimensional model stored in the controller 15, to build a target object three-dimensional model that has the same shape as the three-dimensional model. The powder container 14 is used to contain the powder 142 and distribute the powder 142 on the construction table 13 layer by layer according to the control signals of the controller 15. The controller 15 controls the electron beam gun 11, the chamber vacuum 12, the construction table 13 and the powder container 14 according to predetermined control programs, and the complete manufacturing process is under vacuum environment in the vacuum chamber 12. It is understood that the EBM 10 machine can include other parts of
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 18/55
11/29 additive, such as power supplies, communication interfaces, etc.
[020] With reference to Figures 1, 2 and 3 together, some manufacturing situations other than a frame 24 containing the powder 142 of a target object 20 manufactured by the EBM machine 10 are shown. For ease of explanation, a target object 20 shown in Figure 5 is a solid column element. In other embodiments, the shape of the target object 20 may vary according to different requirements. The target object 20 shown in Figures 2 and 3 is an unfinished target object 20. In Figures 2 and 3, the housing 24 of the target object 20 is not exactly in column form since the housing 24 needs to be compensated in that EBM manufacturing process prior to the subsequent HIP manufacturing process. After hot isostatic pressing of the housing 24 containing the powder 142 manufactured by the EBM machine 10, the target object 20 can be manufactured to the expected column shape, which will be described in the following paragraphs.
[021] In the initial situation (A) of Figure 2, a first layer of powder 142 is distributed on a construction platform 132 of construction table 13, for example, through the use of laminator operator 134 to push without difficulty the powder 142 on the construction platform 132. After the first layer of powder 142 is uniformly arranged on the construction platform 132, a lower surface 21 of the housing 24 is manufactured by using the electron beam 112 to melt the corresponding part of the first layer of powder 142 according to the three-dimensional model, as shown in situation (B) of Figure 2, and also shown in situation (A) of Figure 3.
[022] After the bottom surface 21 of the housing 24 is finished, a side surface 22 of the housing 24 is manufactured by using an electron beam 112 to melt the corresponding part of the subsequent powder 142 layer by layer according to the three-dimensional model . As shown in
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 19/55
12/29 situation (B) of Figure 3, a second layer of powder 142 is placed on the construction platform 132 and a first layer of the side surface 22 is manufactured using the electron beam 112 to fuse the corresponding part of the second powder layer 142 according to the three-dimensional model as shown in situation (C) of Figure 3. The remaining layers of the side surface 22 are formed by the same manufacturing method as the first layer and are not described in any further details. Both situation (C) in Figure 2 and situation (D) in Figure 3 show an intermediate situation that is to manufacture a side surface layer 22.
[023] After the side surface 22 is finished, an upper surface 23 of the housing 24 is manufactured by using the electron beam 112 to fuse the corresponding part of the last layer of powder 142 according to the three-dimensional model. As shown in situation (D) of Figure 2 and situation (E) of Figure 3, the last layer of powder 142 is disposed on the construction platform 132 and, then, the upper surface 23 is manufactured using the beam of electron 112 to fuse the corresponding part of the last layer of powder 142 according to the three-dimensional model. Finally, a complete housing 24 is finalized and it also contains the loose powder 142 or a mixture of the loose powder and supported patterns quickly sintered within, as described in greater detail below. In other words, after making EBM, the target object 20 which includes the housing 24 and the powder 142 inside the housing 24 as shown in situation (F) of Figure 3 is finalized. Loose powder 142 can also be sintered using a fast scan speed below a predetermined density, for example 80%. The housing 24 is then formed as a three-dimensional vacuum sealed housing that has a predetermined internal porosity.
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 20/55
13/29 [024] Compared to target object 20, a housing 24 is not yet finished and has at least one unfinished part containing the loose powder 142 or a mixture of loose powder and rapidly sintered support patterns that will be manufactured by an additional manufacturing method. In the present document, the target object 20 is additionally manufactured by means of isostatic vacuum pressing as described below. However, in other embodiments, the treatment and densification process may differ from HIP. For example, PIF or another densification process can be used.
[025] With reference to Figure 4, the housing 24 is placed in a high pressure confinement vessel 42 of a HIP 40 machine. The HIP 40 machine can additionally include a controller 44 used to control the temperature and pressure inside from canister 42, which can provide a HIP force to the powder-filled housing 24 and any support patterns that may be present. It is understood that the HIP 40 machine can include other additive parts, such as power supplies, communication interfaces, etc.
[026] In an initial situation shown in Figure 4, the shape of the frame 24 still maintains the compensated shape, which is larger than the expected shape of the target object 20. According to the predetermined program, controller 44 will control the temperature and pressure in vessel 42 to provide HIP treatment to housing 24. During the HIP treatment process, housing 24 will press the loose powder 142 and any support patterns present to make it solid and metallurgically bonded with carcass 24. After finishing the HIP treatment, a solid target object 20 is manufactured as shown in Figure 5. In Figure 5, powder 142 became the same or almost identical in density as that of carcass 24, which means that frame 24 and loose powder 142 and any
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 21/55
14/29 support patterns have become a target object 20 to be manufactured and the shape of target object 20 has become the expected column shape as an example.
[027] With reference to Figure 6, a flow chart of a method 60 for manufacturing the three-dimensional target object 20, according to one embodiment, is shown. Method 60 starts at step 61, an original three-dimensional model is emitted / stored preferably in the controller of an EBM machine. The original three-dimensional model is the same as the target object 20. For example, Figure 7 shows an original three-dimensional model X1 that is in a column format. In some embodiments, the three-dimensional model is a design model with the aid of a three-dimensional computer (CAD).
[028] In step 62, the original three-dimensional model X1 is analyzed to determine that the shrinkage / distortion change 29 would be after frame 28, which contains loose powder that has the same shape as the original three-dimensional model X1, is treated by the process of HIP. It is understood that the analysis of the shrinkage alteration of the powder containing carcass can be simulated and analyzed based on the appropriate algorithms, such as through the use of a finite element method (FEM) tool from the ANSYS software. The detailed review process is not disclosed in this document.
[029] In step 63, according to the result of the analysis of the shrinkage change above, a compensated three-dimensional model is calculated based on the appropriate algorithms, as well as through the use of ANSYS software. For example, Figure 7 shows an X2 compensated three-dimensional model that is larger than the original X1 column-shaped three-dimensional model.
[030] In step 64, the compensated three-dimensional model X2 is analyzed to determine whether a powder-containing housing that has the same shape as the compensated three-dimensional model X2 will be changed to the same
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 22/55
15/29 format like the original three-dimensional model X1 after being treated by the HIP process. If so, the process proceeds to the next step 65. Otherwise, the process returns to the previous step 63. It is also understood that this analysis can be simulated based on the appropriate algorithms, such as, through the use of the FEM tool of the ANSYS software, which are not described in this document. It is also understood that, in this and other embodiments, powder size distribution is a key factor affecting the packing density and subsequent shrinkage. Preferably, the analyzes in steps 61 to 64 are incorporated into the EBM machine controller. Alternatively, the analysis in steps 61 to 64 can be performed in a separate system, then the output is transferred to the controller for subsequent steps 65 onwards.
[031] In step 65, a housing 24 filled with loose powder 142 and any additional support patterns are manufactured using the EBM method based on the compensated three-dimensional model X2, which was described above.
[032] In step 66, the carcass 24 containing the loose powder 142 and any supporting patterns are formed on the three-dimensional target object 20 using the HIP method, which has also been described above.
[033] According to method 60 above, a target object 20 (for example shown in Figure 5) is manufactured by combining the EBM method and the HIP process. As only the housing 24 is manufactured by the EBM process, and not the entire target object 20, the powder used by the electron beam 112 is reduced and time can also be saved. If several target objects 20 need to be manufactured, those corresponding housings 24 with loose powder 142 and any support patterns can be treated with HIP in canister 42 at the same time, which can increase efficiency. In addition, frame 24 will become a part of target object 20
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 23/55
16/29 through metallurgical adhesion with powder 142 after HIP treatment, which can further simplify the manufacturing process.
[034] In other embodiments, instead of using the EBM method, the housing 24 together with the loose powder 142 and any support patterns can be manufactured using other rapid manufacturing methods, such as selective laser fusion methods (SLM) and direct metal laser fusion (DMLM) under non-vacuum conditions, which are performed respectively on an SLM machine and a DMLM machine. Notably, however, both SLM and DMLM can also be run under vacuum.
[035] With reference to Figures 8 and 9, two schematic views to show different manufacturing situations of the housing 24 manufactured by the SLM Method are shown. In comparison to the EBM method shown in Figure 2, the SLM method in Figure 8 can be performed in a non-vacuum condition. In addition, the SLM method can additionally manufacture a duct 25 that can extend from the top surface 23. In other embodiments, the duct 25 can extend from the side surface 22.
[036] Referring to Figure 9, after frame 24 that includes duct 25 and contains loose powder 142 and any support patterns are finalized, an air pump (not shown) is used to pump air and / or inert gas remaining from the housing 24 through a pipe 90 communicated with the duct 25, which causes the internal space of the housing 24 to be empty (see situation (e1) of Figure 9). In some embodiments, duct 25 is somewhat long or pipe 90 is somewhat long along the vertical direction, thus, loose powder 142 cannot be removed outside housing 24. In some embodiments, housing 24 may be removed. placed in a large canister that has an outlet (not shown), so the air pump is used to pump air from the large canister through the outlet, thus the air inside the housing 24 is pumped out indirectly without remove loose dust 142. The
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 24/55
17/29 air inside the housing 24 can also be pumped out according to other modes.
[037] When a vacuum level of the internal space of the housing 24 is filled according to a predetermined value, for example, when a vacuum level is less than about 0.01 Pascal, the extended duct 25 is sealed by methods appropriate, such as by an appropriate welding method (see situation (f1) in Figure 9). In particular, the internal space of the housing 24 is sealed by a weld part 29. In this way, the weld part 29 is cut using appropriate cutting methods (see situation (g1) in Figure 9), which causes the housing 24 is empty, similar to housing 24 shown in Figure 4. Note that the pipe can be heated locally and crimped so that it is closed, thus ensuring that the vacuum is maintained inside the housing 24. The pipe can be cut above the fold line.
[038] With reference to Figure 10, the sealed housing 24 filled with loose powder 142 and any supporting patterns are treated by the HIP 40 machine to form the target object 20. The manufacturing process is similar to that shown in Figure 4 and therefore, the process is not described again.
[039] With reference to Figure 11, after the HIP process, a solid target object 20 is formed, but a part of duct 26, due to duct 25, is an additional part in target object 20. The duct part 26 can be cut using appropriate cutting methods, for example, a hydraulic cutting method, etc. After cutting duct part 26, target object 20 is finished. Similar to the EBM method that combines the HIP method, the SLM method that combines the HIP method can also reach a target object 20 that metallurgically links the housing 24 and the powder 142. For clarity, deposition processes such as DMLM, SLM and EBM can be practiced with or without the pipeline within the scope of this invention.

18/29 [040] In the achievements mentioned above, only the external housing 24 is completed during the EBM or SLM process. However, in other embodiments, some of the powder 142 inside the housing 24 can also be melted or sintered at different levels of density. In that context, with reference to Figure 12, the housing 24 of a target object 20 containing loose powder or partially consolidated powder 142, according to another embodiment, is shown. In comparison to the housing 24 shown in Figure 4, the housing 24 of Figure 12 is not a uniform solid housing, but includes at least two layers of different density level. As an exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 12, the illustrated housing 24 includes three layers of different density level 241, 242 and 243 from outside to inside. The density level of layer 241 to 243 is gradually reduced. For example, the density level of the first layer 241 is about 100%, the density level of the target object of the second layer 242 is about 90% and the density level of the third layer 243 is about 80%. In other embodiments, the number of the density level layers, the density level of each layer and the thickness of each layer can be adjusted based on the appropriate algorithms, such as using the FEM tool of the ANSYS software, that are not described in this document.
[041] With reference to Figure 13, a flow chart of a method 70 for making a three-dimensional object, according to another embodiment, is shown. In comparison to method 60, steps 71 to 73 of method 70 are steps 61 to 63 of method 60. Thus, steps 71 to 73 are not described in this document.
[042] In step 74, based on the compensated three-dimensional model, frame 24 is calculated to determine the number of layers of density level (similar to layers 241, 242, 243) of frame 24, the
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 26/55
19/29 level of density of each layer and the thickness of each layer. As mentioned above, those parameters can be calculated based on the appropriate algorithms, such as, using the FEM tool of the ANSYS software, which are not described in this document.
[043] In step 75, the compensated three-dimensional model is analyzed to determine whether a powder-containing housing and any support patterns that have the same shape as the compensated three-dimensional model will be changed to the same shape as the original three-dimensional model after being treated by the process of HIP. If so, the process proceeds to the next step 76. Otherwise, the process returns to the previous step 73. This step 75 is similar to step 64 mentioned above.
[044] In step 76, the housing 24 containing loose powder 142 and any support patterns is manufactured using the EBM method. As the housing 24 includes at least two layers of different density level, the electron beam 112 will fuse the layers of different density level through the use of different levels of electron beam powder according to the calculated parameters above frame 24. Although frame 24 shown in Figure 12 is thicker than frame 24 shown in Figure 4, the powder used by electron beam 112 is still reduced and can save time compared to conventional EBM methods.
[045] In step 77, the carcass 24 containing loose powder 142 and any supporting patterns is manufactured using the HIP method. After the HIP process, a target solid object 20 (similar to object 20 shown in Figure 5) is finalized. Since frame 24 is manufactured for several layers of different density level during the EBM process, the HIP process can more effectively and easily reach the target solid object 20 compared to method 60.
[046] In other embodiments, the shape of object 20 may not be
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 27/55
20/29 regular, just like a teardrop shape. Figure 14 shows a target object 20 as an example. In the EBM process, object 20 of Figure 14 can be manufactured from a housing similar to the housing 24 shown in Figure 4, that is, from a single density housing. It should be noted that the target object 20 of Figure 14 can also be manufactured from a carcass that has several layers of different density level, such as 241,242, 243 and 244 shown in Figure 14. The detailed parameters can be calculated based on the appropriate algorithms, such as, through the use of the FEM tool of the ANSYS software, which are not described in this document.
[047] In other embodiments, when housing 24 is designed to include several layers of different density level, each layer can also include different parts of density level based on the material of the housing 24, the HIP process and other parameters related. Figure 15 shows an exemplary realization of a target object 20 manufactured by the EBM process. The housing 24 of target object 20 of Figure 15 includes three layers 241, 242 and 243. The density level of the first layer 241 is about 100%. The second layer 242 includes two parts of density level 2421 and 2422, the first part 2421 is in the middle of each side of the second layer 242. As an example, the density level of the first part 2421 is about 100%; the density level of the second part 2422 is about 90%. That is, the density level of the first part 2421 is greater than the second part 2422. Similarly, the third layer 243 can include a first part 2431 with about 90% density level and a second part 2432 with about 80% density level. The disposition of the above parameter is calculated in step 74 of method 70 as mentioned above.
[048] In other realizations, compared to realization
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 28/55
21/29 shown in Figure 16, the housing 24 can additionally include some support fins 27 extended from the inside of the surfaces to the opposite interior of the surfaces of the housing 24. These support fins 27 can also be manufactured using the beam electron 112 to melt the corresponding part of powder 142 according to a three-dimensional model that has support fins. In other embodiments, the housing 24 containing powder 142 can be designed in different types according to the related parameters, but without limitation as in the embodiments described above.
[049] In relation to Figure 17, in another embodiment, the method for making a target object includes forming a porous object 300 from a loose powder to have a first density level, which can be at least approximately 30% and it can be more than approximately 50% in other achievements. In the shown embodiment, the density level of the porous object 300 is approximately 70%. In order to form the pores or the “pre-compacted” object 300, a quantity of loose powder can be directed in a constriction matrix (not shown) and densified to the first density level. The loose powder can be an elementary, mixed elementary that can contain the alloy or parent alloy powder metallurgical product. In a preferred embodiment, an outer surface region 302 of the porous object has a surface porosity that has finely distributed pores. The pores can have sizes between approximately 10 micrometers and approximately 100 micrometers, which, as understood in the art, depends on the size of the metallurgical powder products and the level of density of the object. In order to increase the density level of a portion of the object, porous object 300 is treated to thereby define a treated region 304 that has a second density level. More specifically, an outer surface region 302 is treated to have the second density level. As described in this document, the “outer surface region” is
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 29/55
22/29 intended to describe a region of the object that begins on the external surface and crosses the interior of the object's body towards an imaginary axis of the same. In addition, when referring to the “outer surface region” in this document, such term covers the entire outer surface region 302 as disclosed above or, alternatively, only a portion thereof. Therefore, in one embodiment, the treated region 304 can cover all or part of the outer surface region 302. Alternatively, the treated region 304 can be located in other parts of object 300.
[050] In at least one embodiment, once the outer surface region 302 is treated, the density level of the treated region 304 or the second density level, is at least about 95% so that the pores that existed before treatment are eliminated substantially. With a density level of at least about 95% and a thickness between approximately 0.025 mm and approximately 1 mm, the treated region 304 essentially acts as an airtight seal for the inner portion 306, which still has the first density level. The thickness of the treated region 304 is sufficient so that the seal can be formed and that sufficient strength is present to maintain the seal through additional transport, treatment and processing, such as by HIP or PIF, or any other treatment processes or methods through which an object can be densified or consolidated. Once the porous object 300 is treated, the object 300 is densified or consolidated to form the target object 308 which is at least about 95% of the density level and preferably about 100% of the density. In particular, the shrinkage of the target object 308 after the HIP or PIF process will be considered in the same or similar way as described above in relation to the other realization. It will be verified that the difference in size and format that the target object 308 can have in relation to the object
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 30/55
Porous 23/29 300 after HIP or PIF treatment, but before shrinkage occurs, it is not shown. It will also be seen that although the internal untreated region 306 may include the first density level and the treated region 304 may include the second density level, there may not be an exact boundary between the first and second densities. Instead, there may be a gradual or gradient change in density from the second density level to the first density level.
[051] Such an approach of essentially sealing the porous object 300 prevents contaminant and environmental sources from penetrating the porous object 300 prior to consolidation or densification of the object 300 to a target object size or shape. In addition, the approach, as disclosed in this document, allows the use of lower packing density materials. It will be seen that the treated region 304 is essentially an in situ can that probably does not require the use of a can described in this document, as it is normal practice in the art. Finally, as long as no can is required, machining of the target object 308 after densification to remove excess material (caused by the interaction between the object and the can) is unnecessary, thereby saving time and reducing loss of yield . In addition, cost savings are realized when it is considered that, instead of replacing well-known processes with new processes to create densified target objects, the invention in this document teaches an approach that is complementary to existing powder metallurgy processes such as HIP or PIF.
[052] In one embodiment, treating the porous object 300 includes using a material casting process. In order to carry out the treatment of the outer surface region 302, a penetration of the casting process is limited to a certain depth so that only the outer surface region 302 is treated. Such material casting processes
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 31/55
24/29 may include, but are not limited to, microwave, laser fusion, electron beam (EB) fusion, TIG fusion, infrared heating and other welding-like processes that involve a screened scan of the surface they produce overlapping casting zones and a high quality surface layer. The local smelting layer can also be formed by means of processes that include, but are not limited to, transient liquid phase sintering and induction melting.
[053] In another embodiment, the treatment of the porous object 300 involves the processing of solid state through sintering and diffusion in the outer surface region 302. Such processes include, but are not limited to, microwave sintering, induction sintering and controlled laser sintering. In yet another embodiment, the treatment of the porous object 300 includes the formation of a local casting layer in the outer surface region 302.
[054] In yet another embodiment, the treatment of the porous object 300 includes deforming plastic, mechanically and selectively the outer surface region 302. Deformation can be performed through processes that include, but are not limited to, hammering, polishing, extruding a cold, hot extrusion or other deformation processes through which the outer surface portion 302 is deformed so that their density level is at least about 95%.
[055] In yet another embodiment, treatment of the porous object 300 includes coating the outer surface region 302 with a coating layer. Preferably, the coating layer is non-reactive with the materials from which the porous object 300 is produced. Such non-reactive material can include glass or aluminum. Alternatively, a material that reacts with the surface to form a stable coating layer that is capable of transferring a charge at temperatures of approximately
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 32/55
25/29
1/2 of the melting temperature of the material from which the porous object is produced or greater when it diffuses into or with the base material, can be used. The coating layer can coat the entire outer surface region 302 or, alternatively, only a portion thereof.
[056] In yet another embodiment, the treatment of the porous object 300 includes coating-like processes. Such coating processes include, but are not limited to, laser coating, TIG coating, brazing sheet coating, cold spraying, metal painting, etc. Optionally, once the coating process takes place, the outer surface region 302 can be optionally heat treated to diffuse the powder metallurgy product with the coated type materials in a controlled model to form a layer of alternative coating. In another embodiment, with reference to Figure 18, the treatment of a porous object 400 and, specifically, the treatment of a surface region 401 includes encapsulating the porous object 400 in a bag 402, made of rubber, silicone, elastomer or other material similar. The porous object 400 and the bag 402 are evacuated through which they are subjected to a vacuum process. The porous object 400 and the bag 402 are then heated to an elevated temperature for a period of time so that the bag 402 and the outer surface region 401 of the porous object 400 reach the high temperature, but the inner portion 403 of the object porous 400 is at a temperature below the elevated temperature (that is, at room temperature). In one embodiment, the elevated temperature is between approximately 315.56 ° C (600 ° F) and approximately 371.11 ° C (700 ° F). Since the porous object 400 is heated only as described, the heated porous object 400 is subjected to a PIF process. Because the flow voltage of the heated surface region 401 is less than the flow voltage of the portion
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 33/55
26/29 cooler internal, the PIF process only results in the densification of the surface region 401. Similar to the other embodiments, after the outer surface region 401 is treated, a carcass 404 is formed. The density of housing 404 is at least approximately 95% so that housing 404 provides an airtight seal for the internal untreated region 406, which has a density of at least approximately 30%. As before, there may be a density gradient between the treated region (case 404) and the untreated inner region 406. Once the outer surface region 401 is treated, so that case 404 is formed, which essentially forms a can in situ, object 400 can be densified according to processes such as HIP, PIF or other processes. For example, in a PIF process, object 400 can be heated to an elevated temperature which is a function of the melting point of the material (s) of which the object is composed. Object 400 is then removed from the heat source and subjected to pressure between approximately 34.4 MPa (5,000 psi) and 413.6 MPa (60,000 psi) to densify porous object 400 to a density of at least approximately 95% and, preferably, 100% density, so that a target object 408 is formed.
[057] In any of the embodiments described in this document, HIP processing can be performed at pressures in the range of up to about 310.2 MPa (45 ksi) and at temperatures above about one half of the melting temperature, further below the solidus of the material that is submitted to HIP. Other specific material considerations may also further limit the HIP temperature range used and, therefore, HIP processing is not limited to the pressures and temperatures described in this document. PIF conditions can be in the range of about 68.9 MPa (10 ksi) to about 413.6 MPa (60 ksi) and preheated temperatures above about half the melting temperature, but
Petition 870170102033, of 12/26/2017, p. 34/55
27/29 below the solidus of the material that is submitted to the PIF process. Similar specific material considerations may also further limit the temperature range of PIF used and, therefore, the preheated pressures and temperatures, described in this document, in relation to PIF are not intended to be limiting.
[058] The invention described herein can be used in combination with other processing techniques include those disclosed in US Patent No. 21 6,737,017, 7,329,381 and 7,897,103, incorporated herein in its entirety by way of reference. The invention, as described in this document, is particularly useful for the consolidation of high quality titanium alloy materials, but it is also applicable to other material systems including Al, Fe, Ni, Co, Mg and other combinations of materials. The process, as disclosed in this document, essentially creates a seal in the outer surface region 302 of a porous object 300 (also referred to in this document as a “pre-compacted shape”) of the loose powder material (elementary, mixed elementary that may contain parent alloy or alloy) which maintains its own shape on all sides without using a container such as a can. The pre-compacted shape can be any shape that includes a cylinder, rectangular prism, hexagonal cylinder or other three-dimensional shape that is suitable for downstream consolidation and use. The process can be applied to milling products (bars, billets, plate, sheet, tube, pipe, etc.) that can be further processed into components or directly to the network components or roughly shaped network. The components of interest include turbine engine parts such as discs, rings, blisters, shafts, blades, blades, covers, tubes and other components; where automotive components include body and engine parts; industrial components; biomedical articles; sports goods and other applications.

However, these embodiments of the invention are not limited to specific applications.
[059] In each embodiment, the substrate can be selected to be thin or thick, to have an abrupt interface with the material internal to the substrate or to have a graduated density interface, it can be made of the same material of the powder that is consolidated or made of a differentiated material, the housing can be kept in the final industrial part or it can be removed through conventional machining or other dissolving or etching processes. In addition, the carcass may contain an entire duct that can be used to evacuate the internal cavity of the initial object and then sealed before densification processing to allow the removal of unwanted gaseous species from the internal portions of the bulk material before densification. In addition, densified articles produced by this method may be mesh format, approximate mesh format or may require significant additional processing through forging, machining and / or other processing routes before use. Preferably, the article is formed of a metallic material and, more preferably, of a metallic alloy material, but the scope of this invention is not so limited.
