    Abstract: A layer of a powdered material (4) is heated with an energy beam (10) such that at least one gas-generating agent (8) reacts to form at least one gaseous substance (14) to produce a void-containing coating (16) adhered to the surface of a substrate (2). The powdered material may contain a metallic material, a ceramic material, or both, and may also contain at least one of a flux material (32) containing the gas-generating agent and an exothermic agent (64). The heating may occur using a laser beam and may induce a melting or sintering of the powdered material to produce the void-containing coating. A gas turbine engine component exhibiting improved thermal and mechanical properties may be formed to include the void-containing coating, which may take the form of a bond coating, a thermal barrier coating, or both.

    Abstract: A method of forming a metal component having different regions containing different grain sizes and in porosities is by additive manufacturing. The method includes spreading a layer of starting powder on a temperature controlled moveable platform in a heated chamber with atmosphere and temperature control. Selected areas of the powder are melted and solidified with a computer controlled focused energy beam. The cooled platform is then indexed down and the process repeated. The grain size of the melted and solidified region can be controlled by the cooling rate during solidification which, in turn is controlled by the temperature of the chamber and the temperature of the cooled moveable platform.
