  • Publication number: 20240149339
    Abstract: A first pre-sintered body composed of a powder made of a first Ni-based alloy is prepared, and a second pre-sintered body composed of a powder made of a second Ni-based alloy is prepared. Subsequently, the first and second pre-sintered bodies are positioned to face each other across a predetermined gap, and a joining material made of a Ni-based alloy having a lower liquidus temperature than the first and second Ni-based alloys is placed in a space that adjoins the first and second pre-sintered bodies and to which the gap opens. After the placing of the joining material, the first and second pre-sintered bodies are heated to melt the joining material, fill the gap with the molten joining material, and subsequently turn the first and second pre-sintered bodies into first and second sintered bodies, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240009736
    Abstract: A shaped article production method includes: fabricating an intermediate article by powder bed fusion using a powder of a gamma prime precipitation strengthening Ni-based alloy; and heat-treating the intermediate article. The Ni-based alloy contains, in percent by mass, 7.0 to 17.0% Cr, 7.0 to 12.0% Co, 5.0 to 8.0% Al+Ti, 2.0 to 12.0% W, 1.5 to 4.4% Nb+Ta, 2.3% or less Mo, 0.3% or less C, 2.0% or less Hf, and 0.2% or less Zr. The fabricating the intermediate article includes applying a laser beam to a layer (3) of the powder along scan lines (4) parallel to one another. In applying the laser beam, a value obtained by dividing a pitch between the scan lines (4) by a laser spot diameter is in the range of 0.6 to 1.1.

  • Patent number: 11292073
    Abstract: A welding torch includes a gas lens of a lattice structure that straightens a shielding gas. The welding torch includes a non-consumable electrode, an electrode holder into which the non-consumable electrode is inserted, and a torch body including a sleeve that holds the electrode holder, a flow path forming portion that forms a shielding gas flow path around the sleeve, and a nozzle that forms a shielding gas guiding space around a distal end of the non-consumable electrode, the distal end extending from the electrode holder, in which the gas lens is provided so as to separate the shielding gas flow path from the shielding gas guiding space.

  • Patent number: 11292070
    Abstract: A welding torch includes a torch body including a flow path forming portion that forms a shielding gas flow path into which an inert gas flows and an outer gas flow path communicating with the shielding gas flow path, a first gas lens that straightens the inert gas in the shielding gas flow path and blows the inert gas out as a shielding gas, and a second gas lens that straightens the inert gas in the outer gas flow path and blows the inert gas out as an outer gas. Provided is an all-position welding device that performs butt welding of tubes, and includes the welding torch and a rotation mechanism for rotating the welding torch around the tube.
