Abstract: A nozzle or blade for a turbomachine includes an airfoil body including at least one first coolant passage, and an edge opening in a leading edge or a trailing edge of the airfoil body. The edge opening has an edge coupon retention member seat in or on an inner surface of the airfoil body. An edge coupon has a shape at least partially configured for coupling to the edge opening in the airfoil body. The edge coupon includes an edge coupon body, at least one second coolant passage in the edge coupon body configured for fluid communication with the at least one first coolant passage in the airfoil body, and a retention member extending from the edge coupon body for coupling to the edge coupon retention member seat in the airfoil body.

Abstract: A cast nickel-base superalloy that includes iron added substitutionally for nickel. The cast nickel base superalloy comprises, in weight percent about 1-6% iron, about 7.5-19.1% cobalt, about 7-22.5% chromium, about 1.2-6.2% aluminum, optionally up to about 5% titanium, optionally up to about 6.5% tantalum, optionally up to about 1% Nb, about 2-6% W, optionally up to about 3% Re, optionally up to about 4% Mo, about 0.05-0.18% C, optionally up to about 0.15% Hf, about 0.004-0.015 B, optionally up to about 0.1% Zr, and the balance Ni and incidental impurities. The superalloy is characterized by a γ′ solvus temperature that is within 5% of the γ′ solvus temperature of the superalloy that does not include 1-6% Fe and a mole fraction of γ′ that is within 15% of the mole fraction of the superalloy that does not include 1-6% Fe.

Abstract: A modified alloy is disclosed including a base alloy composition and an additive gamma prime antioxidant. The base alloy composition includes a concentration of a gamma prime antioxidant less than an effective concentration of the gamma prime antioxidant. The additive gamma prime antioxidant is intermixed with the base alloy composition to form the modified alloy, preferentially segregating to a gamma prime phase of the modified alloy and increasing the concentration of the gamma prime antioxidant to be at least the effective concentration of the gamma prime antioxidant. The effective concentration imparts reduced oxidation susceptibility of the gamma prime phase. An article is disclosed including the modified alloy. A coated article is disclosed including a coating disposed on a surface of an article having the base alloy composition. The coated article includes a reduced stress accelerated gamma prime oxidation static crack growth susceptibility in comparison with the base alloy composition.

Abstract: A method for forming a CMC article is disclosed, including forming a CMC precursor ply assembly. Forming the CMC precursor ply assembly includes laying up a plurality of CMC precursor plies and entraining a melt infiltration agent to form an entrained agent supply. Each of the plurality of CMC precursor plies includes a matrix precursor and a plurality of ceramic fibers. The plurality of CMC precursor plies and the entrained agent supply are arranged to form the CMC precursor ply assembly, which includes an article conformation. The method further includes carbonizing the CMC precursor ply assembly, infusing the melt infiltration agent from the entrained agent supply into the plurality of CMC precursor plies, and densifying the CMC precursor ply assembly with the melt infiltration agent to form the CMC article.
