METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A MULTIPLE COMPOSITION COMPONENT
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a multiple composition component, comprising:
- arranging first, second and third constituent parts having first, second and third compositions respectively so that the first constituent part shares a first boundary with the second constituent part and the second constituent part shares a second boundary with the third constituent part;
wherein the first, second and third constituent parts are each either a powder or a solid; and
processing so as to form a single solid component having first, second and third regions having the first, second and third compositions respectively, the processing including hot isostatic pressing and/or diffusion bonding, the hot isostatic pressing and/or diffusion bonding comprising hot isostatic pressing at a first temperature for a first predetermined time and hot isostatic pressing at a second temperature for a second predetermined time, wherein the first temperature is less than the second temperature.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a multiple composition component 10, comprising: arranging first, second and third constituent parts 40, 30, 42 having first, second and third compositions respectively A, B, C so that the first constituent part 40 shares a first boundary with the second constituent part 30 and the second constituent part 30 shares a second boundary with the third constituent part 40. The first, second and third constituent parts 40, 30, 42 are each either a powder or a solid so that the first and second boundaries are each a solid adjacent to a powder. The arrangement is then processed so as to form a single solid component having first, second and third regions 16, 18, 20 having first, second and third compositions A, B, C respectively.
