Abstract: A component is produced in layers by laser melting. A molten pool is created in a bed of powder by a working laser beam. Further auxiliary laser beams are set to a power density that merely slows down the cooling of the material in one zone, but do not cause any renewed melting. In this way, the cooling rate of the microstructure can be set so that an advantageous structural formation develops. This allows for example the mechanical properties of the component produced to be advantageously improved without downstream heat treatments.

Abstract: Various embodiments include a cooling apparatus comprising: a thermal interface for a heat source to be cooled; a thermal pipe with a first phase change medium; and a latent heat store with a second phase change medium. The first phase change medium and the second phase change medium are contained in respective volumes separated from one another. Heat of the heat source, at the thermal interface, transfers into a heat absorption zone of the thermal pipe. A melting temperature of the second phase change medium is greater than an evaporation temperature of the first phase change medium.

Abstract: A method uses a powder bed-based additive production of components such as laser melting. The interior wall of a hollow cylinder is used as a construction platform. Progressive production of the component is possible by rotating the hollow cylinder step-by-step in direction. This allows production of components without set-up times as the components can emerge from the powder bed as rotation continues and can be separated from the hollow cylinder by a separating device. The space requirement for the hollow cylinder in this arrangement is relatively small.

The steam strainer has a skeleton-like tube body, in which, to construct a shell surface, at least two shell-type individual elements are provided for mounting, wherein the skeleton-like tube body has two end surfaces which are kept at a defined spacing by at least one longitudinal strut connecting the two end surfaces, and wherein the at least two shell-type individual elements have a plurality of screen openings, and wherein the at least two shell-type individual elements and the longitudinal strut are independently exchangeable. In addition, a method for producing such a steam strainer is provided.

Abstract: A method for creating a blade (11) for a turbo-engine and such a blade are disclosed. Components (19) of the blade are produced by an additive production method such as selective laser melting or fusion, while a main body (18) is produced by casting, for example. The blade components (19) may consist of a different material than the basic body (18). The components or body may carry functions such as serving as drainage slots (24). Expense related to the use of additive production methods occurs only for the components (19) in which a complicated geometry, for example, must be implemented. The remaining components in the form of the main body (18), comprising the blade (27), the blade foot (28) and the blade head (29), can be cost-effectively implemented as a cast part or a sheet metal part.

The supporting pillar has a conical shape, and wherein a first end of the supporting pillar is wider than a second end of the supporting pillar.

Abstract: A component is manufactured by selective laser melting by a laser having an intensity profile set largely constant by a diffractive optical element, so that the treatment surface which has occurred as a result of this profile is melted uniformly on the surface of the component. Thermal load peaks, such as occur due to an intensity maximum of an unshaped laser, can therefore be advantageously avoided. Moreover, the treatment surface may, for example, have a square shape, so that, in the case of rectangular components, it becomes simpler to produce the corners of the cross section to be manufactured. Overall, as a result, components having improved surface quality can be produced. The system is equipped with suitable optics for generating the intensity profile described.
