摘要:
A tri-nickel aluminide base alloy composition is provided with a desirable combination of tensile strength and ductility. The composition is prepared to include boron dopant in combination with relatively low percentages of carbon for the high increase in strength achieved. The composition has an Ll.sub.2 of crystalline structure. It is prepared by rapid solidification at a cooling rate of at least 10.sup.3 .degree. C. per second.
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.

The present invention provides a cooling apparatus for cooling a turbine blade. The cooling apparatus comprises a pressure side plate comprising a plurality of pressure ribs, a suction side plate comprising a plurality of suction ribs, and a plurality of flow redirection areas. The pressure side plate is disposed over the suction side plate, where the pressure ribs are disposed at a first angle with respect to a blade span reference line and the suction ribs are disposed at a second angle with respect to the blade span reference line, to form the flow redirection areas. The present invention provides a method of fabricating the cooling apparatus for the turbine blade comprising aligning the pressure side plate and the suction side plate to form the plurality of flow redirection areas between the pressure side plate and the suction side plate.
摘要:
A system and method for repairing defects such as bumper holes, cracks, freckles and inclusions, in a cast article, such as a turbine component. The system comprises a device for locating a defect in a cast article, a repair material that is disposable at a defect site, at least one heat source capable of heating the repair material and a portion of the cast article to a molten state. The method of using the system comprises locating a defect in the cast article, providing a repair material to the defect site, melting the repair material and cast article at the defect site, and cooling the molten repair material and portion of the casting article such that they resolidify and fuse together. The method may further comprise removing a portion of the cast article at the defect site, removal of excess repair material and inspecting the cast article following repair of the defect.
