Summary: | Methods of manufacturing monolithic components with complex design features and functionally graded properties in any spatial direction may include forming of outer shell with an additive manufacturing process, loading the shell with bulk material and exposing the loaded shell to a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) process. The combination of the additive manufacturing process and the HIP process forms a diffusion bond between the outer shell and the bulk material resulting in a monolithic component with functionally graded properties. The outer shell may include an exterior surface and an inner passage formed with relatively hard surfaces to accommodate fluids in a wellbore. |
