  • Publication number: 20220288692
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a component, in particular a turbomachine component, in the form of a plurality of superposed layers of a material includes a step of supplying the material into a feed nozzle and a step of projecting energy towards the feed nozzle to cause the material passing through the latter to melt. The method further includes a step of cooling the feed nozzle with a cooling element during the step of projecting energy.

  • Patent number: 10981247
    Abstract: A device for the additive manufacturing of a turbomachinery part by direct metal deposition onto a substrate comprising: a source of metallic material; a source of energy configured to produce molten metal from the metallic material produced from the source of metallic material; a substrate; a mold arranged on the substrate and equipped with at least one opening, in order to allow a localized deposition of molten metal onto the substrate, the mold comprising a magnetic material; and a substrate support arranged under the substrate, the support being configured to generate an electromagnetic force allowing the mold to be drawn towards the substrate.

  • Patent number: 10697324
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a superalloy part including a first portion including a majority by weight of a first superalloy and a second portion including a majority by weight of a second superalloy, the second portion extending from the first portion, the method including depositing the second portion on the first portion by a direct metal deposition method, deposition of the second portion including depositing a first layer, then depositing a second layer on the first layer, the first layer including the first and second superalloys, the first layer presenting a content by weight of the first superalloy that is strictly greater than that content by weight of the second layer and strictly less than that content by weight of the first portion, the second layer presenting a content by weight of the second superalloy that is strictly greater than that content by weight of the first layer.

  • Patent number: 9150120
    Abstract: A fastening clip (16) for fastening a bracket (20), in particular a metal bracket in a vehicle, which is adapted to be inserted into an opening (14) of a body part (10) and to be fixed therein, includes a housing (22) having an insertion opening (26) and an elongated receiving space (24) for the bracket (20), a latching element (42) being provided in the receiving space (24), which is adapted to be moved resiliently from a holding position in which the latching element (42) holds the bracket (20) in the receiving space (24), to a release position in which the bracket (20) can be inserted into the receiving space (24) or can be pulled out therefrom, and to a fixing position, corresponding holding elements (46, 48) which fix the latching element (42) in the fixing position being provided in the receiving space (24) and on the latching element (42).
