Patent number: 11865642Abstract: A method of forming a ferrous metal case-hardened layer using additive manufacturing. The method includes delivering, by a material delivery device, a filler material to a surface of a substrate. The substrate includes a first ferrous metal. The filler material includes a second ferrous metal and a carbon-based material. The method also includes directing, by an energy delivery device, an energy toward a volume of the filler material to join at least some of the filler material to the substrate to form a component.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Rolls-Royce CorporationInventors: Brian Drier, Amanda Dawn Graham, Robert Frederick Proctor, Quinlan Yee Shuck, Jacque Sue Bader
