Abstract
A multiple material golf club head made of different metals that, when combined via additive manufacturing, transmit tensile or compressive force, shear force, bending moment, and torsional moment as if the different metal parts were a single piece of material is disclosed herein. In particular, the golf club head is a putter head with a body piece made of a first metal material that is in direct contact with a face piece made of a second metal material, and applied via additive manufacturing, such that load conditions are transmissible at a boundary between these two pieces. The second metal material forms at least a portion of the striking surface and a lower region of the hosel, and the interface between the two materials is contiguous from the face to the hosel.
