System and method for additively manufacturing boiler tubes
A method of manufacturing a tube is provided. The method includes: selecting a core pipe having a thickness that is initially less than a desired thickness of the tube; and building-up an outer layer over an exterior surface of the core pipe via additive manufacturing so as to increase the thickness of the core pipe such that the thickness of the core pipe is equal to the desired thickness of the tube.
