Abstract

In the present application, a shaped article W is produced, the shaped article including: a plurality of blades provided around a shaft, with an interval disposed therebetween in the circumferential direction; and curved surface-shaped recesses present in between the blades. This method for producing a shaped article includes: a shaping step, in which welding beads where filler material has been melted and solidified at the peripheral surface are layered on a base material having a circular cross-section of a greater radius than the bottom circle that passes through the lowest part of the recess, thus forming a shaped section that will become a blade; and a cutting step in which part of the surface of the shaped section and the peripheral surface of the base material is cut to form a blade, and the recesses between the blades are also formed.

Claims (16)

1. A method for manufacturing a built-up object, wherein the built-up object includes a plurality of blades provided around a shaft body at circumferential intervals, and concave portions provided between adjacent ones of the blades, each of the concave portions having a curved shape in a section perpendicular to an axial direction, the method comprising:

a building step of depositing weld beads obtained by melting and solidifying a filler material on a circumferential surface of a base material having a circular shape in a sectional view, thereby forming built-up portions to serve as the blades; and

a cutting step of cutting parts of surfaces of the built-up portions and the circumferential surface of the base material, thereby forming the blades and the concave portions between the blades,

wherein, after the cutting step, the base material has a larger radius than a bottom portion circle contacting bottom portions of the concave portions in the sectional view, and

wherein T≥½H, where H designates a height of at least one of the weld beads, and T designates a maximum cutting dimension in a radial direction of the base material.

2. The method for manufacturing a built-up object according to claim 1 , satisfying

R 1≥ R 0+ H

wherein R 0 designates a radius of the bottom portion circle, and R 1 designates a radius of the base material.

3. The method for manufacturing a built-up object according to claim 2 , wherein a cutting amount of the base material is smaller than a cutting amount of the built-up portions.

4. The method for manufacturing a built-up object according to claim 1 , wherein a cutting amount of the base material is smaller than a cutting amount of the built-up portions.

5. The method for manufacturing a built-up object according to claim 1 , wherein a cutting amount of the base material is smaller than a cutting amount of the built-up portions.

6. A built-up object comprising a shaft body, a plurality of blades provided around the shaft body at circumferential intervals, and concave portions provided between adjacent ones of the blades, each of the concave portions having a curved shape in a section perpendicular to an axial direction,

wherein the blades are formed out of built-up portions formed by depositing weld beads obtained by melting and solidifying a filler metal on a circumferential surface of a base material having a circular shape in a sectional view,

wherein parts of the shaft body in the concave portions are cut together with the built-up portions,

the base material has a larger radius than a bottom portion circle contacting bottom portions of the concave portions in the sectional view, and

wherein T≥½H, where H designates a height of at least one of the weld beads, and T designates a maximum cutting dimension in a radial direction of the base material.
