Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing a compact component (10) comprising a shell (12) and optionally a grid structure (14) situated inside the shell (12) which are made of a shell material, and a core structure (16) that fills an interior of the shell (12) and is made of a core material. The invention further relates to a corresponding compact component that can be produced by means of the method.
Claims14
A method for producing a compact component (10) comprising a shell (12) and optionally a grid structure (14) situated inside the shell (12) which are made of a shell material, and a core structure (16) that fills an interior of the shell (12) and is made of a core material, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- (a) generative construction of at least one layer of the shell (12) that runs along a sectional plane of the component (10) and optionally at least one layer of the grid structure (14) using a particulate material (18) of the shell material or of at least one precursor of the same by means of a beam melting method;
- and
- (b) melting, sintering and/or solidification of a nanoparticulate material (20) of the core material, which is situated in the interior of the at least one layer of the shell (12), or of at least one precursor of the same, for forming the core structure (14) of the component (10).
