Abstract: A cleaning composition, and method for use of the cleaning composition to clean metal surfaces, such as the surfaces of turbomachinery components, is presented. For example, a method includes contacting a surface of an article with a cleaning composition, wherein the article comprises a metal and wherein the surface includes an oxide; and removing the cleaning composition from the surface. The cleaning composition has a viscosity of at least 104 poise, and comprises a thickening agent and an acidic matrix having selective reactivity with the oxide.

Abstract: System for selectively contacting a cleaning composition with a surface of a turbine engine component is presented. The system includes a cleaning apparatus and a manifold assembly. The cleaning apparatus includes an upper portion and a lower portion defining a cleaning chamber configured to allow selective contact between the cleaning composition and a surface of the first portion of the turbine engine component. The upper portion includes a plurality of fill holes in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber, and the lower portion includes a plurality of drain holes in fluid communication with the cleaning chamber. The manifold assembly is configured to selectively circulate the cleaning composition from a reservoir to the cleaning chamber via the plurality of fill holes, and recirculate the cleaning composition from the cleaning chamber to the reservoir via the plurality of drain holes. Methods for selectively cleaning a turbine engine component is also presented.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing a metal part using a laser or electron beam during a powder bed additive manufacturing process includes melting each of a number of layers of metal powder of the metal part with an effective amount of energy using the laser or electron beam to form the metal part such that at least one or more portions of the metal part have a critical amount of residual strain. The method also includes performing a heat treatment on the metal part that transforms the residual strain into substantially distributed coincidence site lattice (CSL) grain boundaries, low angle grain boundaries, or both in the metal part.

Abstract: A cleaning system and method uses a tank holding a fluid detergent and an equipment assembly formed from a plurality of discrete components joined together. One or more ultrasound transducers remove one or more deposits on the equipment assembly by generating and propagating high frequency ultrasound waves into the fluid detergent while the equipment assembly is in contact with the fluid detergent.
