摘要： A process for the rapid production of hollow components of flow machines, in particular turbine blades, for manufacturing development. In the process, the turbine blade to be produced is divided into two or more portions such that none of the portions has a cavity. The two or more portions are individually cast by means of a Rapid Prototype process, and are then joined together to form the hollow component. The process makes possible the simple and cost-effective production of turbine blades for manufacturing development, in particular for the development of the cooling systems.

摘要： A process of brazing cracks and gaps in a single crystal article which takes places isothermally under the following conditions: the temperature of the isothermal solidification is between TLiqidus, Braze+5*(wt-%BBraze) and (Tsolidus, base material−70*(wt-%BBraze)), while (wt-%B*wt-%Cr) is between 15 and 40 and (Tsolv.&ggr;′, base material−TLiqidus, Braze) is above 140° C.

摘要： A method and an apparatus for manufacturing a directionally solidified columnar grained article with a reduced amount of secondary misorientation of the columnar grains. The method employs a casting assembly comprising a mold with a cavity, a selector section at a lower end of the mold, a heating chamber and a cooling chamber. The mold is fed with a liquid metal and then removed from the heating chamber to the cooling chamber where the columnar grained article is solidified. The article is solidified with at least two dendrites or grains emerging from the selector section and entering the main cavity of the shell mold. Further, the selector section is configured so that no dendrite or grain grows from the bottom of the selector section into the shell mold cavity along a continuous path of purely vertical growth.

摘要： A nickel-base superalloy, in particular for the production of single-crystal components or directionally solidified components, comprising (measured in % by weight): 3.0-13.0% Cr, 5.0-15.0% Co, 0-3.0% Mo, 3.5-9.5% W, 3.2-6.0% Al, 0-3.0% Ti, 2.0-10.0% Ta, 0-6.0% Re, 0.002-0.08% C, 0-0.04% B, 0-1.4% Hf, 0-0.005% Zr, 10-60 ppm N, remainder nickel plus impurities. As a result of the addition of nitrogen in defined quantities, TiN is formed during solidification and carbides with a block morphology are formed. It is thus possible to increase the carbon content without deterioration in the low cycle fatigue at high load temperature.

摘要： Process of masking cooling holes of a gas turbine component with an external surface, comprising a cavity and a plurality of cooling holes before coating the gas turbine component, comprising the steps of first applying a mask material to the cooling holes so that the cooling holes are filled at least closest to the external surface, whereby the mask material contains a substance which fluoresces under ultraviolet light and a filler material. Then the mask material within the cooling holes is thickening. An inspection using ultraviolet light to locate any unwanted residual mask material on the external surface is carried out and unwanted residual mask material is removed before the coating is applied to the external surface of the component and the masked cooling holes. In the end the mask material is removed from the cooling holes.

摘要： A method of casting a directionally solidified article such as a component of a gas or steam turbine. The casting is performed in a casting furnace comprising a heating chamber, a liquid cooling bath as a cooling chamber and a shell mold. During casting, shell mold is fed with liquid metal and withdrawn from the heating chamber to the cooling chamber while the interior of the casting furnace is supplied with an inert atmosphere of Ar and/or He in the pressure range of 0.01 to 1 atmosphere, with a preferred range of 0.05 to 0.25 atmosphere. The method can provide improved heat transfer across the shell mold allowing a higher withdrawal rate, reduction in defects and/or improvement in properties of the cast articles.
