Various turbine component preforms are disclosed having near-net shape features. In one embodiment, a turbine casing preform is disclosed. The turbine casing preform includes an as-cast body comprising a partially cylindrical wall section of a turbine casing, the wall section having an inner surface and an outer surface. The turbine casing preform also includes a circumferentially-extending vane slot formed in the wall section on the inner surface. In another embodiment, a turbine nozzle diaphragm preform is disclosed. The turbine nozzle diaphragm preform includes an as-cast body comprising a partially-cylindrical wall section of a turbine nozzle diaphragm having an inner surface and an outer surface. The turbine nozzle diaphragm preform also includes an as-cast, circumferentially-extending seal member projecting from one of the outer surface or inner surface.
摘要:
A casting process for producing metal alloy castings, facecoats and apparatuses suitable for carrying out the process, and castings produced by the process. The casting process entails the use of a mold having a cavity with a continuous aluminum-containing solid facecoat on its surface. A molten quantity of a metal alloy is introduced into the mold cavity so that the molten alloy contacts the solid facecoat. The mold is then allowed to cool to solidify the molten alloy and form a cast product. During the casting process, aluminum in the solid facecoat diffuses into the cast product to form an aluminum-containing surface region at the casting surface. Following removal of the cast product from the mold, an alumina-containing scale grows on the casting surface as a result of oxidation of the casting surface region.

A method for forming an oxide-dispersion strengthened coating on a metal substrate is disclosed. The method generally includes comminuting MCrAlY alloy particles to form an oxygen-enriched powder, wherein at least about 25% by volume of the MCrAlY alloy particles within the oxygen-enriched powder have a particle size of less than about 5 μm. Additionally, the method includes applying the oxygen-enriched powder to the metal substrate to form a coating and heating the oxygen-enriched powder to precipitate oxide dispersoids within the coating.

An oxidation resistant fuel cell component and a method for creating an aluminum diffusion surface layer within a fuel cell component to reduce chromium contamination occurring during operation of a fuel cell are disclosed. Generally, an aluminum-containing slurry may be applied to the fuel cell component. The component may then be heated to diffuse aluminum into the component and to form an aluminum diffusion surface layer therein. The surface layer may be characterized by an intermetallic aluminum-containing phase extending below the surface of the fuel cell component.
摘要:
An oxidation resistant component with high temperature strength and a method of creating such component are disclosed. A modified base metal may be formed by adding at least two strengthening additives to a base metal, the base metal being substantially free from both nickel and cobalt and comprising from about 1% to about 27% chromium by weight. The modified base metal may then be formed into a component and an aluminum-containing slurry may be applied to a surface of the component. The component may then be heated to diffuse aluminum into the component and to form an aluminum diffusion surface layer therein.

A method and container for forming billets using hot isostatic pressing is provided. The method and container prevent or minimize the diffusion of metals between a high value powder alloy and the container used for hot isostatic pressing. In one exemplary embodiment, a diffusion barrier is placed on the container between the powder and the container to control diffusion therebetween.
摘要:
An improved method and container for forming billets using hot isostatic pressing is provided. The improved method and container have features that control the deformations of the container during the high temperatures and pressures experienced in such processing so as to provide a billet having a predetermined shape such as, for example, substantially parallel, convex, and/or concave sides. Conservations of the powder used for the billet and more efficient use of the container upon the resulting billet can be achieved.
摘要:
A forging die and process suitable for producing large forgings, including turbine disks and other rotating components of power-generating gas turbine engines, using billets formed by powder metallurgy. The forging die includes a backplate, and segments arranged in a radial pattern about a region on a surface of the backplate. Each segment has a backside facing the backplate and an interface surface facing away from the backplate, with the interface surface being adapted to engage the billet during forging. The segments are physically coupled to the surface of the backplate in a manner that enables radial movement of the segments relative to the backplate.
