摘要:
A method for repairing, refurbishing, or replacing a turbine engine component or sub-component includes the steps of providing a turbine engine component or sub-component having a site to be repaired, refurbished, or replaced providing a repair or replacement material having a sulfur content, which sulfur content is less than 10 ppm, and applying the repair or replacement material to the site on the turbine engine component to effect the repair, the refurbishment, or the replacement.

A casting system includes a core and a shell positioned relative to the core. A barrier coating is applied on at least one of the core and the shell, and may be applied to both the core and the shell. The barrier coating limits reaction between the casting system and a casting alloy.
摘要:
A method is provided for casting an article such as a blade having an attachment root and an airfoil, the airfoil having a proximal end and a distal end. The method comprises introducing a molten alloy into a mold; and varying a composition of the introduced alloy during the introduction so as to produce a compositional variation.

A single crystal alloy for high AN2 applications has a composition consisting essentially of from 4.0 to 10 wt % chromium, from 1.0 to 2.5 wt % molybdenum, up to 5.0 wt % tungsten, from 3.0 to 8.0 wt % tantalum, from 5.5 to 6.25 wt % aluminum, from 6.0 to 17 wt % cobalt, up to 0.2 wt % hafnium, from 4.0 to 6.0 wt % rhenium, from 1.0 to 3.0 wt % ruthenium, and the balance nickel. Further, these single crystal alloys have a total tungsten and molybdenum content in the range of from 1.0 to 7.5 wt %, preferably from 2.0 to 7.0 wt %, a total refractory element content in the range of from 9.0 to 24.5 wt %, preferably from 13 to 22 wt %, a ratio of rhenium to a total refractory element content in the range of from 0.16 to 0.67, preferably from 0.20 to 0.45, a density in the range of from 0.300 to 0.325 lb/in3, and a specific creep strength in the range from 106×103 to 124×103 inches. These alloys provide (a) increased creep strength for a given density and (b) specific creep strengths as high as or higher than all 2nd generation single crystal alloys with a significant decrease in density.
摘要:
A high modulus component, such as an aircraft engine turbine blade, is formed from a base metal that has a high modulus crystallographic orientation that is aligned with the primary, i.e. radial, direction of the turbine blade. The base metal is Ni, Fe, Ti, Co, Al, Nb, or Mo based alloy. Alignment of a high modulus direction of the base metal with the primary direction provides enhanced high cycle fatigue life.
摘要:
A method for casting comprising: providing a seed, the seed characterized by: an arcuate form and a crystalline orientation progressively varying along an arc of the form; providing molten material; and cooling and solidifying the molten material so that a crystalline structure of the seed propagates into the solidifying material.
摘要:
A process for forming a coated substrate comprises providing a nickel base alloy substrate, depositing a chromium coating onto the nickel base alloy substrate and diffusing chromium from said coating into the substrate, applying a MCrAlY coating onto the nickel base alloy substrate and heat treating the substrate with the deposited chromium and the MCrAlY coating so that chromium diffuses into an outer region of the substrate. Further, in accordance with the present invention, a strip process for removing a coating from a substrate broadly comprises the steps of providing a nickel base alloy substrate having chromium diffused into an outer region and a MCrAlY coating deposited over the substrate with the diffused chromium and removing the MCrAlY coating by immersing the nickel base alloy substrate in an acid solution containing a sulfuric acid-hydrochloric acid mixture in water.
摘要:
A crucible includes a composite of least two materials. The two materials are selected from a group consisting of alumina, calcia, yttria, erbia, gadolinia, magnesia, hafnia, and zirconia in a composition that has better resistance to reaction with hafnium from a molten hafnium-containing alloy than a nominal crucible composition of 70 wt % magnesia and 30 wt % alumina.

A casting system includes a core and a shell positioned relative to the core. A barrier coating is applied on at least one of the core and the shell.
摘要:
Improved compositions for fabricating nickel superalloy single crystal articles are described. The compositions are characterized by the substantial absence of carbon, boron, zirconium and vanadium and intentional additions of cobalt. The cobalt additions increase the stability of the compositions and provide enhanced heat treatability. Single crystal articles of these compositions have utility as gas turbine engine components.
