Abstract

A material powder for additive modeling including a nitride, and a eutectic oxide, the nitride having an average density lower than an average density of the eutectic oxide, is used to produce a structure using an additive modeling method.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A material powder for additive modeling, comprising:
a eutectic oxide; and
a nitride having an average density lower than an average density of the eutectic oxide,
wherein a weight ratio of eutectic oxide:nitride is from 10:1 to 3:10, and
wherein the eutectic oxide contains aluminum oxide, and a compound of a rare earth oxide and aluminum oxide.

2. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 1 , wherein the nitride is at least one selected from the group consisting of aluminum nitride, silicon nitride, and boron nitride.

3. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 1 , wherein the eutectic oxide has a melting point of less than or equal to a decomposition temperature of the nitride.

4. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 1 , further comprising terbium oxide containing tetravalent terbium.

5. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 1 , wherein the nitride alone constitutes a particle.

6. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 1 , wherein the eutectic oxide is included as a particle of the eutectic oxide.

7. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 4 , wherein the terbium oxide containing tetravalent terbium is included as a particle of the terbium oxide containing tetravalent terbium.

8. A method of producing a structure, the method comprising:
preparing a powder containing a nitride particle and a particle containing a eutectic oxide containing aluminum oxide, and a compound of a rare earth oxide and aluminum oxide;
constituting a powder layer including the powder; and
irradiating the powder layer with an energy beam according to shape data of a three-dimensional model,
the powder layer being irradiated with the energy beam so that a temperature of an irradiation portion of the energy beam is less than or equal to a decomposition temperature of the nitride particle, wherein the nitride particle has an average density lower than an average density of the eutectic oxide particle and the weight ratio of the eutectic oxide particle:nitride particle is from 10:1 to 3:10.

9. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of the rare earth oxide and aluminum oxide is included with a composition range of ±10% from a eutectic point.

10. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 1 , wherein the eutectic oxide is an Al 2 O 3 —Gd 2 O 3 eutectic system and the nitride contains aluminum nitride.

11. The material powder for additive modeling according to claim 10 , further comprising terbium oxide containing tetravalent terbium.
