Abstract

The invention relates to a generative production method for producing a component by selectively melting and/or sintering a powder several times consecutively by introducing an amount of heat by means of beam energy, such that the powder particles melt and/or sinter in layers, wherein the powder particles (1) are made of a first material (2) and the powder particles are surrounded by a second material (3) partially or over the entire surface thereof, wherein the second material has a lower melting point than the first material and/or lowers the melting point of the first material when mixed with the first material. The invention further relates to a corresponding powder and to a prototype produced from said powder.

Abstract

A method and device for producing a hole in an object is disclosed. The method includes the generation of a beam for removing material such that a bottom of a borehole is placed in a focus position of the beam, and a removal of material by impingement of the beam on the bottom of the borehole. A repeated placing of the bottom of the borehole in a focus position of the beam in order to compensate for the increased depth of the hole as a result of the removal of material is combined with a step of changing a radiation characteristic of the beam when the bottom of the borehole is repeatedly placed in a focus position.

Abstract

The invention relates to a heat-resistant TiAl alloy (and the production thereof), which in addition to unavoidable impurities comprises titanium, al, niobium, molybdenum, and carbon as alloying elements. The composition is selected in such a way that the carbon is dissolved into the mixed crystals of the alloy so as to substantially avoid carbide precipitations and the alloy is solidified from the melt exclusively by means of the β-phase and/or ϒ-phase.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the destruction-free and contactless inspection of components (3), in which ultrasound waves (6) are transmitted in a non-vertical, pre-specifiable incidence angle (9) onto the surface of the component (3) using an ultrasound transmission transducer (1) arranged at a distance from the surface of the component (3) and the intensity of the ultrasound waves (7), which are reflected by the surface of the component (3), is captured in a time-resolved and/or frequency-resolved manner by the group antenna elements (2n) of an ultrasound group antenna (2), which is configured to detect ultrasound waves (7), and, on this basis, the phase shift of the ultrasound waves, which are guided on the surface of the inspection body, is determined in relation to the ultrasound waves (7), which are reflected directly at the surface of the component (3).
