Disclosed is a method for affixing a metal cladding to a metal base. The method includes: heating the metal cladding and a surface of the metal base with a heating device to create a molten metal pool having molten metal cladding layered upon molten metal base material in the metal base; stabilizing a temperature gradient of the molten metal pool with a laser beam directed into the molten metal pool; and cooling the molten metal pool to affix solidified cladding to the metal base.

An electrospark deposition electrode and an associated method for depositing coatings using the electrode are provided. The electrode includes a powder of a first metal and a powder of a second metal. The second metal is a braze alloy including nickel, the second metal having a lower melting point than the first metal. The powder of the first metal and the powder of the second metal are sintered together to form the electrode so that the powders are comingled but not combined within the electrode. The method includes depositing a layer of the first metal onto the substrate using an electrospark deposition process.

A brazing process, a braze assembly, and a brazed article are disclosed. The brazing process includes applying a braze material to an article within a vacuum chamber while the vacuum chamber is substantially evacuated. The braze assembly is capable of applying a braze material to an article within a vacuum chamber while the vacuum chamber is substantially evacuated. The brazed article is devoid of re-formed oxides.

A method for repairing a component with a leak are disclosed. In an embodiment, a component having at least one fluid flow path with a leak therein is provided. The component may be made of a first material. A second material may be introduced into the fluid flow path, and propelled into the location of the leak in the flow path. Once there, the second material is melted and solidified, forming a plug that occludes the leak.

A method of establishing filler metal composition for joining components includes determining an initial desired filler metal chemistry, adjoining a first filler rod having a first portion of the desired filler metal chemistry with a second filler rod having a second portion of the desired filler metal chemistry to form a test filler rod, joining a first component formed from a first material to a second component formed from a second material at a weld joint with the test filler rod providing a filler metal portion of the weld joint, and testing the weld joint for desired mechanical, chemical, and weldability properties to establish a desired filler metal composition.
摘要:
A method of welding alloys having a ductility drop temperature range to limit strain-age cracking. The method involves the use of a welding device to weld a weld area of an article while maintaining temperatures throughout the weld area and a heat affected zone adjacent the weld area within a non-crack sensitive temperature range that is above a ductility drop temperature range of the alloy being welded. During welding, the temperatures of the weld area and the heat affected zone are predominantly controlled with heat input from the welding device. Once the welding has been terminated, the weld area and the heat affected zone are cooled from the non-crack sensitive temperature range through the ductility drop temperature range to a temperature below the ductility drop temperature range of the alloy.
