Method for producing a component

摘要

A method for manufacturing a component having increased thermal conductivity through layer-by-layer construction. At least one section of the component is constructed by applying a layer section having predetermined dimensions of a composite material of a metal and/or a metal alloy and particles of a highly heat-conducting material, including diamond and/or cubic boron nitride, in a predetermined area on a base layer by melting the metal or the metal alloy a heat source, in such a way that the metal and/or metal alloy form(s) within the predetermined dimensions a cohesive matrix, in which particles of the highly heat-conducting material are embedded, and then cooling.

1. A method for manufacturing a component having increased thermal conductivity through layer-by-layer construction, wherein least one section of the component is constructed by performing at least once a step comprising:
a) applying a layer section having predetermined dimensions of a composite material of a metal and/or a metal alloy and particles of a highly heat-conducting material, comprising diamond and/or cubic boron nitride, in a predetermined area on a base layer by melting the metal or the metal alloy by a heat source in such a way that the metal and/or metal alloy forms, within the predetermined dimensions, a cohesive matrix in which particles of the highly heat-conducting material are embedded, and then cooling, wherein the metal of the metal and/or metal alloy is Al or Mg, and wherein a size of the particles of the highly heat-conducting material, comprising diamond and/or cubic boron nitride is in the range of approximately 6 μm to approximately 250 μm, wherein a size distribution is bimodal or trimodal.
