  • Patent number: 10478921
    Abstract: A method for generating, in layers, an application structure made of high heat resistant super alloys on a substrate is provided. A powdery construction material is melted by an energy beam at a working point, wherein the working point is guided across the substrate along a primary movement direction and thus swings transversely to the primary movement direction. The working point thereby swings from a first edge of a respective layer of the application structure to a second edge of the layer. In this way, a time interval passes between departure from a respective edge and a return to the respective edge directly following the departure, such that a melt bath on the respective edge solidifies into a paste-like zone during the time interval.
