Three-dimensional fabrication by molten metal lamination

Part 1.About the materials of die & mold for high temperature materials

Abstract

Authors are suggesting the method of three-dimensional structure fabrication by molten metal lamination. This is made it out of laminating welding bead by the NC controlled XYZ stage to trace the path of welding torch. At this report, authors weighed the mechanical strength of heat proof metal materials for welding fabricated by molten metal lamination on the assumption that materials would be used for die & mold to use at a high temperature.
