  • Publication number: 20240123498
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing powder includes: a metal powder; and a film provided on a particle surface of the metal powder and containing a compound derived from a coupling agent having a hydrophobic functional group. An average particle diameter is 3.0 ?m or more and 30.0 ?m or less, and a water amount is measured by a Karl Fischer method before and after the additive manufacturing powder is subjected to a heat treatment at 200° C. for 24 hours in an air atmosphere, and when the water amount before the heat treatment is set to 1, the water amount after the heat treatment is 0.85 or more and 1.15 or less in terms of mass ratio.

  • Patent number: 11846020
    Abstract: A particle coating method includes a heating step of heating soft magnetic metal particles containing an amorphous phase within a temperature range of 100° C. or higher and 500° C. or lower for 0.1 hours or more and 300 hours or less, and an insulating film formation step of forming an insulating film at surfaces of the soft magnetic metal particles by a chemical vapor deposition method. The soft magnetic metal particles preferably contain the amorphous phase at 50 vol % or more.

  • Publication number: 20230311409
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a three-dimensional shaped object, the manufacturing method including: a powder layer formation step of disposing powders containing a forming material of the three-dimensional shaped object in a layer shape and forming a powder layer having a predetermined thickness; and a molded body formation step of discharging, to the powder layer, a binder liquid containing a binder for binding the powders to one another, and forming a molded body in which the powders are bound to one another. In the molded body formation step, in a formation region of the molded body in the powder layer, a discharging amount of the binder liquid per unit area to a first formation region that is a contour portion of the formation region and a discharging amount of the binder liquid per unit area to a second formation region other than the contour portion are discharging amounts different from each other.
