    Abstract: Articles suitable for use in high temperature applications, such as turbomachinery components, and methods for making such articles, are provided. One embodiment is an article. The article comprises a material comprising a plurality of L12-structured gamma-prime phase precipitates distributed within a matrix phase at a concentration of at least 20% by volume, wherein the gamma-prime phase precipitates are less than 1 micrometer in size, and a plurality of A3-structured eta phase precipitates distributed within the matrix phase at a concentration in the range from about 1% to about 25% by volume. The solvus temperature of the eta phase is higher than the solvus temperature of the gamma-prime phase. Moreover, the material has a median grain size less than 10 micrometers. The method comprises providing a workpiece, the workpiece comprising at least about 40% nickel, from about 1.5% to about 8% titanium, and from about 1.5% to about 4.5% aluminum. A weight ratio of titanium to aluminum is in the range from about 1 to about 4, and the workpiece further comprises a plurality of A3-structured ordered eta phase precipitates distributed within the matrix phase at a concentration in the range from about 1% to about 25% by volume. The method further comprises mechanically working the workpiece at a temperature below a solvus temperature of the eta phase; and heat treating the workpiece at a temperature sufficiently high to dissolve any gamma prime phase present in the workpiece but below the solvus temperature of the eta phase.

    Abstract: A system, in certain embodiments, includes a backing plate, a tungsten-based member disposed along the backing plate, wherein the tungsten-based member defines a welding work surface, and the tungsten-based member comprises curved grooves configured to secure the tungsten-based member to the backing plate. The system also includes a drive. The system includes a pin tool movable by the drive to create friction along one or more workpieces disposed on the welding work surface, wherein the frictional heating and mechanical stirring is configured to create a stir weld along the one or more workpieces. The system, in some embodiments, also may include a backing plate comprising liquid passages and gas passages and a tungsten-based member disposed along the backing plate, wherein the tungsten-based member defines a welding work surface.
