摘要:
A method for storing hydrogen is described. The hydrogen is infused into hollow spheres. The spheres are made from a polymer which has a tensile strength sufficient to contain hydrogen under selected internal pressure conditions; and has a permeation coefficient which can be adjusted under variable humidity conditions. Adjustment of the humidity level after the hydrogen is infused results in the walls of the spheres becoming impermeable to hydrogen. The hydrogen stored in the spheres can then be released at a desired time by readjusting the humidity level. The released hydrogen can be directed to any type of equipment which is fueled by hydrogen or otherwise uses the gas. Related articles and systems are also described.
摘要:
Slurry coating process for selectively enriching surface regions of a metal-based substrate, for example, the under-platform regions of a turbine blade, with chromium. The process employs a slurry coating composition containing metallic chromium, optionally metallic aluminum in a lesser amount by weight than chromium, and optionally other constituents. The composition further includes colloidal silica, and may also include one or more additional constituents, though in any event the composition is substantially free of hexavalent chromium and sources thereof. The coating composition is applied to a surface region to form a slurry coating, which is then heated to remove any volatile components of the coating composition and thereafter cause diffusion of chromium from the coating into the surface region to form a chromium-rich diffusion coating.

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 HxAF6, 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 method of protecting an article from a high temperature environment, the method includes providing a substrate comprising silicon, forming a slurry coating composition, wherein the composition comprises a metallic silicon powder, a rare-earth oxide, an alkaline earth metal oxide, an aluminum oxide, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing, and a binder effective to chemically stabilize the slurry coating, applying a layer of the slurry coating over the substrate, and heat-treating the slurry coating under conditions sufficient to oxidize the metallic silicon powder and form an alkaline earth metal aluminosilicate, a rare-earth silicate, an aluminum silicate, or a combination comprising at least one of the foregoing bonded to the substrate.
摘要:
Braze compositions containing flux compositions and processes for using such braze compositions, such as for use in the manufacturing, coating, repair, and build-up of superalloy components. The braze composition contains an aqueous binder system, multiple inorganic compounds, titanium hydride, and a metallic braze alloy. The braze composition is useful when brazing superalloys that are prone to oxidation at elevated brazing temperatures.
摘要:
An organic coating composition is described, which can be used to enrich the surface region of a metal-based substrate with aluminum. The composition comprises an aluminum-based powder and at least one organic resin, e.g., alkyds, epoxies, or silicone materials. At least some of the aluminum-based powder is in the form of substantially spherical powder particles. The coating composition is substantially free of hexavalent chromium. It can be applied to the substrate by a variety of techniques, such as spraying. It is then heat-treated, to cause diffusion of aluminum into the surface region of the substrate, e.g., a turbine engine component. The composition exhibits good thermal and chemical stability for extended periods of time. Related articles are also described.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for selectively removing a coating from a substrate. Aluminum is diffused into the coating. The coating is contacted with an aqueous composition including at least one of an acid having the formula HxAF6, and precursors to the acid, A being selected from the group consisting of Si, Ge, Ti, Zr, Al, and Ga, and x being 1-6. The coating being removed is often an McrAl(X) material. The substrate is a metal, usually a superalloy.

A method of treating an acidic component in an exhaust gas includes contacting the exhaust gas with an aqueous solution including a water-soluble amine that produces a water-soluble salt when reacted with the acidic component of the exhaust gas.
摘要:
An electrode for rejuvenating a cooling passage within an airfoil, the electrode including a tip, an end, a conductive core extending between the tip and the end, and an insulating coating disposed on the conductive core. The insulating coating exposes a number of conductive strips of the conductive core extending between the tip and the end. The insulating coating forms a number of insulating portions and further exposes a number of spacer portions of the conductive core longitudinally positioned between the insulating portions. The insulating portions substantially span a distance between the tip and the end and are positioned between the conductive strips.
