Application: Shaping method and shaping powder material (Patent ID: US20240100736A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes a shaping method that involves irradiating a powder containing silicon carbide and metal boride with an energy beam based on shape data to shape an object. The metal boride used in the method has a melting point lower than the sublimation point of silicon carbide, ensuring effective shaping.
The method allows for precise shaping of objects by irradiating a powder mixture of silicon carbide and metal boride with an energy beam, with the metal boride chosen from specific options like chromium monoboride and vanadium diboride. The particle size of the silicon carbide powder, the content ratio of silicon carbide to metal boride, and the use of a laser beam as the energy source are all key aspects of the shaping process outlined in the patent. The unique feature of using a metal boride with a lower melting point than the sublimation point of silicon carbide ensures efficient shaping without compromising the integrity of the materials.
