Mount system for manufacturing titanium objects via energy deposition
The granted patent US12048965B2 introduces a mount system designed for use in welding applications, particularly for supporting substrates during the formation of parts. The system features a first side that interfaces with a welding jig and a second side with a curved profile that interfaces with the substrate. Notably, the second side includes a substrate interface area that accommodates the substrate's surface and a substrate contact area that constitutes 0.1 to 20 percent of the interface area. The mount system can be constructed from non-magnetic metals or metals with a melting point of 1350° C. or higher, with austenitic stainless steel being a preferred material. The design allows for reconfigurability and includes features such as varying substrate support heights defined by pins or a lattice support structure.
Additionally, the patent outlines a pin support system that consists of one or more pins arranged in a reconfigurable manner on a welding jig, which also supports a curved profile for the substrate. Each pin can have a head portion with a substrate contact area and a base portion that engages the jig. The patent further describes a system for directed energy deposition, which includes a jig for securing a pre-bent substrate, a mount system positioned between the jig and the substrate, clamps for securing the substrate, and melting tools for depositing molten material onto the substrate. This comprehensive system aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of part formation in welding processes.
