摘要:
A method for removing a metallic material from the surface of a casted substrate includes the step of contacting the metallic material with an aqueous composition which comprises an acid having the formula H x AF 6 , or precursors to said acid. "A" in the formula is selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, Ti, Zr, Al, and Ga; and x is 1-6.

摘要:
A process for directionally casting liquid metal to form an article is disclosed. The process includes compressing a seal member (40) intermediate a mold chill plate (12) and a mold assembly, wherein the seal circumscribes a shell mold (18) in the mold assembly; filling the shell mold (18) in the mold assembly (10) with molten metal; immersing the mold assembly (10) into a liquid metal cooling bath (36) from a bottom portion to a top portion of the mold assembly; and transmitting heat from the mold assembly (10) to the liquid metal cooling bath (36) to solidify the molten metal from the bottom portion to the top portion of the mold assembly. An apparatus for directionally casting liquid metal to form articles is also provided.
摘要:
A nanocomposite comprising a plurality of nanoparticles dispersed in a metallic alloy matrix, and a structural component formed from such a nanocomposite. The metallic matrix comprises at least one of a nickel-based alloy and an iron-based alloy. The nanocomposite contains a higher volume fraction of nanoparticle dispersoids than those presently available. The structural component include those used in hot gas path assemblies, such as steam turbines, gas turbines, and aircraft turbine. A method of making such nanocomposites is also disclosed.
摘要:
A nickel-based braze composition is described, containing nickel, palladium, and restricted amounts of boron and silicon. The composition can also contain tantalum, titanium, and zirconium, as well as aluminum, chromium, and cobalt. A method for joining two metal components, using the braze composition, is also described. The braze composition can also be used to fill cracks or other cavities in a component, e.g., a gas turbine part formed from a nickel-based superalloy. Articles of manufacture which contain the braze composition are also described.
摘要:
A TiAl composition is prepared to have high strength, high oxidation resistance and to have acceptable ductility by altering the atomic ratio of the titanium and aluminum to have what has been found to be a highly desirable effective aluminum concentration by addition of chromium, niobium, and silicon according to the general formula TiAl₄₂₋₄₆Cr₁₋₃Si₁₋₄Nb₂₋₆ and in particular to the approximate formula Ti-Al₄₅Cr₂Si₂Nb₄.
摘要:
A tri-nickel aluminide base composition is provided which has good ductility at all temperatures. The composition has a relatively high concentration of cobalt substituent and is doped by boron. It also has minor concentrations of at least two other substituent metals selected from the group consisting of niobium, hafnium, vanadium, molybdenum and zirconium.
摘要:
Casting molds (10, 56) suitable for directional solidification processes using a liquid cooling bath (60) include a graded facecoat structure (12) on a mold body (20). The graded facecoat structure (12) includes an innermost layer (14) and a delamination layer (18), wherein the delamination layer (18) fractures upon cooling of the molten metal so as to separate the mold body (20) from the innermost layer (14), which remains in contact with or in close proximity to the metal being cast. Also disclosed are directional solidification processes.
摘要:
A system and method (80) for directionally casting an elongated device are provided. The method (80) includes orienting (82) a mold within a furnace such that a first portion of the mold points downward. The first portion of the mold defines a space within the mold used to form a first end of the device. The first end of the device, when formed, has a greater mass than a second end of the device. The method (80) also includes filling (84) the mold with molten metal and lowering (86) the mold out of the furnace into a liquid metal bath to immerse the first portion of the mold in the liquid metal bath. The method (80) includes concurrently lowering (88) the mold and the liquid metal bath to cool the molten metal.
