  • Patent number: 11618087
    Abstract: A printhead for heating metals with a high melting point comprises a cap with a metal-material inlet and a pressurized-gas inlet. A material manifold holds metal material fed through the metal-material inlet and is surrounded by a material manifold shield. A nozzle is coupled to the material manifold, and a refractory metal receptor tube surrounds the nozzle. An annular filament surrounds the receptor tube and defines an electron beam zone at the receptor tube to melt the metal material in the manifold. As the metal material is fed to the nozzle, it melts and a shield-gas manifold coupled to a shield-gas inlet supplies a shield gas to the material as the melted material exits the nozzle. With the shielding and materials used to construct the various parts of the printhead, metal feedstock with a melting point up to 3,000° C. may be used in additive manufacturing systems and processes.

  • Publication number: 20210115558
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method and system for the localized deposition of a metal layer on a surface. The method involves introducing at least two gaseous reactants to a substrate surface that is locally heated by a laser. The surface is heated to a temperature at which the gaseous reactants undergo a reaction that results in metal crystal growth on the substrate surface. The reaction is maintained for a desired period of time and under desired conditions to produce a localized deposit of a metal layer on the heated zone of the substrate. In some embodiments, the gas outlets and the laser may be moved in a controlled manner so that a metal layer may be deposited in a desired pattern on the substrate surface.
