Methods and apparatus for additively manufacturing structures using in situ formed additive manufacturing materials
Abstract
A method of additively manufacturing a structure comprises nuclear reactor comprises disposing a feed material on a surface of a substrate in a reaction vessel, disposing at least one material formulated and configured to react with the feed material in the reaction vessel, and exposing the feed material and the at least one material to energy from an energy source to react the feed material and the at least one material to form an additive manufacturing material and reaction by-products. The additive manufacturing material is separated from the reaction by-products and exposed to energy from the energy source to form inter-granular bonds between particles of the additive manufacturing material and form a layer of a structure comprising the additive manufacturing material. Related apparatuses and methods are disclosed.
