Abstract:
An austenitic steel welded joint is produced by welding base metal of austenitic steel having a certain chemical composition with a gas tungsten arc welding process which uses welding material of austenitic steel having a certain chemical composition. A chemical composition of weld metal comprises: C ≤ 0.1%; Si ≤ 0.8%; Mn: 1.5 to 5.5%; Ni: 8 to 15%; Cr: 18 to 24%; Al
Abstract:
[Problem] There is provided piezoelectric actuator capable of suppressing disconnection of a junction due to tensile stress. [Solution] A piezoelectric actuator of the invention includes a piezoelectric element, a base body (7) having an upper face on which a lower end of the piezoelectric element abuts, and a case (3) having an inner face on which an upper end of the piezoelectric element abuts, the case being configured to enclose the piezoelectric element, wherein the case (3) includes a flange portion (33) configured to be joined to the base body (7), and at least two bent portions (41) are present on an inner face that is formed from a lower face of the flange portion (33) of the case (3) to the upper face of the base body (7) on an enclosure space side of a junction between the case and the base body.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for protecting an inner radial surface of a housing of a turbomachine from corrosion. The method includes tapering the inner radial surface of the housing and a corresponding outer radial surface of a corrosion-resistant liner, and heating the housing to increase a diameter of the inner radial surface of the housing. The method also includes inserting the corrosion-resistant liner at least partially into the housing, and attaching the corrosion-resistant liner to the inner radial surface of the housing a solid-state bonding process.
Abstract:
A method of cutting, polishing and then welding together two metallic components (10, 18), in which the respective components (10, 18) are cut to define respective cut surfaces (14, 16) that are to be polished and fitted together, both to define the relative positions of the two components (10, 18) to be fixed by the welding and to provide facing weld surfaces at which the two components (10, 18) can be welded together. The method is characterized by the steps of i) making at least one extra cut (20), to create at least one zone of elastic deformation that deforms when the cut surfaces (14, 16) are fitted together; ii) polishing the cut surfaces (14, 16) before fitting them together; and iii) designing the dimensions of the cut components (10, 18) so that the zones of elastic deformation compensate for the variations of dimensions caused by the polishing step, thereby retaining the capability of the polished cut surfaces (14, 16, 20) to define said component (10, 18) relative positions during the welding step.
