This invention relates to a method and components for additive manufacturing of single-
crystal or near-single-
crystal superalloys. The method manufactures single-
crystal or near-single-crystal
superalloy components by scanning an applied
powder layer layer by layer using a
laser source, which can be a flat-top
light source, a ring
light source, or a surface
light source. During scanning of any layer, the method includes: performing at least two pre-
sintering scans on a first target forming region using the
laser source to form a pre-
sintering powder layer, the pre-
sintering powder layer being formed by pre-sintering connections between powder particles and between powder particles and the underlying building surface; after forming the pre-sintering powder layer, performing a melting scan on a second target forming region covered by the first target forming region using the
laser source to form a
melting layer; the laser power of the melting scan is higher than that of the pre-sintering scan, the scanning speed is lower than that of the pre-sintering scan, the overlap rate is greater than 50%, and the melting scan direction is deflected by a preset angle relative to adjacent
layers to promote continuous epitaxial growth of columnar crystals along the building direction.
