Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for manufacturing a mechanical component by additive manufacturing which includes at least one layering sequence of depositing a powder material and locally melting and resolidifying the powder material. In each layering sequence, a solid layer of solidified material is formed, wherein the solid layers jointly form a solid body. An annealing sequence subsequent to at least one layering sequence includes, locally heating at least a region of the solid body in effecting a local heat input to the immediately beforehand manufactured solid layer which was formed by the immediately precedent layering sequence, with temperature being is maintained below a melting temperature of the material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a mechanical component, the method comprising: additively manufacturing at least one layering sequence of depositing a powder material and locally melting and resolidifying the powder material, wherein in each layering sequence a solid layer of solidified material is formed, wherein plural solid layers jointly form a solid body; executing an annealing sequence subsequent to at least one layering sequence, the annealing sequ…
