Abstract
A method for joining an additively-manufactured component includes welding a plurality of additively-manufactured components via a weld joint to fabricate an integral structure. The additively-manufactured components are built by repeatedly depositing a weld bead layer of a next layer on a weld bead layer formed of a weld bead obtained by melting and solidifying a filler metal by use of an arc, and the weld joint is built along with the deposition.
Claims8
A method for joining an additively-manufactured component, comprising welding a plurality of additively-manufactured components via a weld joint to fabricate an integral structure, wherein:
- the additively-manufactured components are built by repeatedly depositing a weld bead layer of a next layer formed of a plurality of second weld beads on a previous weld bead layer formed of a plurality of first weld beads obtained by melting and solidifying a filler metal by use of an arc;
- and
- the weld joint is built along with the deposition by decreasing a length of each weld bead of the plurality of second weld beads on at least one of the plurality of additively-manufactured components such that an angled groove is formed between two of the plurality of additively-manufactured components and the two of the plurality of additively-manufactured components are welded together by a welded portion added to the groove.
A method for joining an additively-manufactured component, comprising welding a plurality of additively-manufactured components via a weld joint to fabricate an integral structure, wherein:
- the additively-manufactured components are built by repeatedly depositing a weld bead layer of a next layer on a previous weld bead layer formed of a weld bead obtained by melting and solidifying a filler metal by use of an arc, the weld bead layer being formed of a plurality of rows of annular weld beads;
- the weld joint is built along with the deposition;
- and
- the method further comprises depositing the weld bead layer of the next layer with a shift in at least one of an annular inner circumferential side or an annular outer circumferential side within a layer plane from a layer end edge of the bead layer of the previous layer and forming the weld joint to have a single bevel groove, a single V groove, a double V groove, a single J groove, a double J groove, a single U groove, or a double U groove, and welding two of the plurality of additively-manufactured components together by a welded portion added to the groove.
