A component can be formed having an integral monolithic body. The integral monolithic body can be formed utilizing electroforming processes such as electrodeposition of metal alloys. The electroformed monolithic body can be formed utilizing multiple anodes powered by multiple power sources. The monolithic body can have differing local material properties determined during formation of the component.

Component with differing material properties

A method of forming a tubular element includes providing an attachment joint, and disposing a mandrel adjacent the attachment joint, where the mandrel can also include an outer or exposed surface. Metal can be disposed on the outer surface of the mandrel to form at least a portion of the tubular element.

Duct assembly and method of forming

Duct assembly and method of forming a duct assembly, the method including providing a preform body having an outer surface, disposing the preform body adjacent a sacrificial mandrel such that at least a portion of the preform body abuts an outer surface of the sacrificial mandrel, forming the duct assembly by depositing metal on the outer surface of the sacrificial mandrel and the preform body to define a unitary metallic tubular element with integral preform body and where depositing metal occurs at a temperature that does not damage the sacrificial mandrel, and removing the sacrificial mandrel to define the duct assembly.

Duct assembly and method of forming a duct assembly, the method including providing a preform having a unitary body with multiple sleeve sections defining multiple apertures, disposing multiple sacrificial mandrel pieces adjacent the preform body such that at least one of the multiple sacrificial mandrel pieces abuts at least one of the multiple sleeve sections, and forming the duct assembly to define a unitary metallic tubular element.
