In various embodiments, metallic alloy powders are formed at least in part by spray drying to form agglomerate particles and/or plasma densification to form composite particles.

Tungsten heavy metal alloy powders and methods of forming them

In various embodiments, metallic alloy powders are utilized as feedstock, or to fabricate feedstock, utilized in additive manufacturing processes to form three-dimensional metallic parts. Such feedstock includes composite particles each comprising a mixture and/or alloy of a first constituent metal and one or more second constituent metals, where each of the particles comprises a plurality of grains each surrounded by a matrix, the grains comprising the first constituent metal, and the matrix comprising the one or more second constituent metals.

Fabrication of metallic parts by additive manufacturing

In various embodiments, metallic alloy powders are utilized as feedstock, or to fabricate feedstock, utilized in additive manufacturing processes to form three-dimensional metallic parts. Such three-dimensional parts are fabricated by providing a powder bed containing particles each comprising a mixture and/or alloy of constituent elemental metals, forming a first layer of the part by (i) dispersing a binder into the powder bed, and (ii) curing the binder, the first layer of the shaped part comprising particles bound together by cured binder, disposing a layer of the particles over the first layer of the part, forming subsequent layers of the part, and then sintering the part.

A process for producing refractory metal alloy powders includes the steps of blending at least one powder with at least one solvent and at least one binder to form a slurry; forming a plurality of agglomerates from the slurry; screening the plurality of agglomerates; sintering the plurality of agglomerates; and melting said plurality of agglomerates to form a plurality of homogenous, densified powder particles.
