AI Technical Summary
Existing housings for flow-guiding components, such as centrifugal pumps, require multiple manufacturing steps and materials to achieve different functional areas with varying properties, leading to complexity, cost, and inefficiency.
A housing for flow-guiding components is manufactured using a single additive manufacturing process, integrating multiple functional areas made of different materials, such as metallic powders and metal-polymer hybrids, through methods like fused deposition modeling and cold gas spraying, to optimize strength, wear-resistance, and sealing properties.
The solution enables a customizable, lightweight, and cost-effective production of complex housings with optimized functional areas, reducing the need for additional coatings and reinforcements, while ensuring high strength and durability.
