Patent attributes
The invention provides a method of manufacturing a transition piece that has a high degree of freedom in adjustment of a length, a shape, or the like, can carry out a dissimilar metal welding easily, and is easy to perform, and a transition piece. The transition piece includes one end having the same composition as one material to be welded, another end having the same composition as another material to be welded, and an intermediate layer formed between the one end and the other end. The composition of the one end and the composition of the other end become the same as approaching a center. In the method of manufacturing the transition piece according to the invention, at least the intermediate layer among the one end, the other end, and the intermediate layer is formed by a additive manufacturing method.
