Abstract
A system may include a powder source; a powder delivery device; an energy delivery device; and a computing device. The computing device may be configured to: control the powder source to deliver metal powder to the powder delivery device; control the powder delivery device to deliver the metal powder to a surface of an abrasive coating; and control the energy delivery device to deliver energy to at least one of the abrasive coating or the metal powder to cause the metal powder to be joined to the abrasive coating.
Claims10
A system comprising:
- a powder source;
- a powder delivery device;
- an energy delivery device;
- and
- a computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- control the powder delivery device to deliver a metal powder to a surface of an abrasive coating;
- control the energy delivery device to deliver energy to at least one of the abrasive coating or the metal powder to cause the metal powder to be joined to the abrasive coating, wherein the abrasive coating comprises a metal matrix and abrasive particles at least partially encapsulated by the metal matrix;
- control the energy delivery device to deliver energy to an abrasive coating after deposition of the abrasive coating, wherein the abrasive coating comprises a metal matrix and abrasive particles at least partially encapsulated by the metal matrix;
- and
- control the energy delivery device to scan the energy across a surface of the abrasive coating to re-melt or reflow the metal matrix.
