    Abstract: An apparatus for casting metals by a nucleated casting technique to create a preform, the apparatus including a mold having a base and a side wall where the base can be moved relative to the side wall to withdraw the preform as it is being created. In various circumstances, portions of a droplet spray created by an atomizing nozzle, i.e., overspray, may accumulate on a top surface of the side wall and prevent or inhibit the preform from being moved relative to the side wall. The atomizing nozzle can be oriented such that the droplet spray passes over the top of the side wall to remelt and remove at least a portion of the overspray that has accumulated thereon. The mold can be rotated such that the overspray formed on a region of or on the entire perimeter of the top surface can pass through the droplet spray and can be removed from the side wall.

    Abstract: A method of producing a metallic powder material comprises supplying feed materials to a melting hearth, and melting the feed materials on the melting hearth with a first heat source to provide a molten material having a desired chemical composition. At least a portion of the molten material is passed from the melting hearth either directly or indirectly to an atomizing hearth, where it is heated using a second heat source. At least a portion of the molten material from the atomizing hearth is passed in a molten state to an atomizing apparatus, which forms a droplet spray from the molten material. At least a portion of the droplet spray is solidified to provide a metallic powder material.

    Abstract: A method of producing an article selected from a titanium article and a titanium alloy article comprises melting feed materials with a source of hydrogen to form a molten heat of titanium or a titanium alloy, and casting at least a portion of the molten heat to form a hydrogenated titanium or titanium alloy ingot. The hydrogenated ingot is deformed at an elevated temperature to form a worked article comprising a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-sectional area of the hydrogenated ingot. The worked article is dehydrogenated to reduce a hydrogen content of the worked article. In certain non-limiting embodiments of the method, the dehydrogenated article comprises an average α-phase particle size of less than 10 microns in the longest dimension.

    Abstract: A thermo-mechanical treatment process is disclosed. A nickel-base alloy workpiece is heated in a first heating step to a temperature greater than the M23C6 carbide solvus temperature of the nickel-base alloy. The nickel-base alloy workpiece is worked in a first working step to a reduction in area of 20% to 70%. The nickel-base alloy workpiece is at a temperature greater than the M23C6 carbide solvus temperature when the first working step begins. The nickel-base alloy workpiece is heated in a second working step to a temperature greater than 1700° F. (926° C.) and less than the M23C6 carbide solvus temperature of the nickel-base alloy. The nickel-base alloy workpiece is not permitted to cool to ambient temperature between completion of the first working step and the beginning of the second heating step. The nickel-base alloy workpiece is worked to a second reduction in area of 20% to 70%. The nickel-base alloy workpiece is at a temperature greater than 1700° F. (926° C.) and less than the M23C6 carbide solvus temperature of the nickel-base alloy when the second working step begins.

    Abstract: Methods of refining the grain size of titanium and titanium alloys include thermally managed high strain rate multi-axis forging. A high strain rate adiabatically heats an internal region of the workpiece during forging, and a thermal management system is used to heat an external surface region to the workpiece forging temperature, while the internal region is allowed to cool to the workpiece forging temperature. A further method includes multiple upset and draw forging titanium or a titanium alloy using a strain rate less than is used in conventional open die forging of titanium and titanium alloys. Incremental workpiece rotation and draw forging causes severe plastic deformation and grain refinement in the titanium or titanium alloy forging.
