  • Patent number: 11969793
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing device comprises a lower nozzle that blows out inert gas into a chamber in a horizontal direction through a lower opening portion formed in a lower part of a first side wall constituting the chamber, and an upper nozzle that blows out the inert gas into the chamber through an upper opening portion formed in an upper part of the first side wall, wherein the upper nozzle includes a window nozzle that blows out the inert gas along an inner surface of a window portion of a top board constituting the chamber, and an oblique nozzle that blows out the inert gas obliquely downward from the upper portion of the first side wall.

  • Patent number: 11845226
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing nozzles includes a header (41) extending in a width direction of the chamber and which is configured to be supplied with inert gas from the outside, and a nozzle body (43) connecting with the header (41) in the width direction and is configured to horizontally blow out the inert gas, which is supplied from the header, to a molding area. The nozzle body has a honeycomb part (52) which defines an inside of the nozzle body into flow channels through which the inert gas flows, a blowout part (55) disposed downstream of the honeycomb part and which is connected with the honeycomb part in the width direction. The inert gas passed through the plurality of flow channels is led from the honeycomb part to the blowout part, and a porous part (54), which has openings, is disposed between the honeycomb part and the blowout part.

  • Patent number: 11325189
    Abstract: There is provided an additive manufactured (AM) article formed of a Co based alloy having a composition comprising: in mass %, 0.08-0.25% C; 0.1% or less B; 10-30% Cr; 30% or less in total of Fe and Ni, the Fe being 5% or less; 5-12% in total of W and/or Mo; 0.5-2% in total of Ti, Zr, Nb and Ta; 0.5% or less Si; 0.5% or less Mn; 0.003-0.04% N; and the balance being Co and impurities. The AM article comprises crystal grains with an average size of 10-100 ?m. In the crystal grains, segregation cells with an average size of 0.15-1.5 ?m are formed, in which components constituting an MC type carbide phase comprising the Ti, Zr, Nb and/or Ta are segregated in boundary regions of the cells, and/or grains of the MC type carbide phase are precipitated at an average intergrain distance of 0.15-1.5 ?m.
