A method is provided for manufacturing a component. The method includes forming a diffusion coating on a first intermediate article formed by an additive manufacturing process. The diffusion coating is removed from the first intermediate article forming a second intermediate article. The diffusion coating is formed by applying a layer of coating material on at least one surface of the first intermediate article and diffusion heat treating the first intermediate article and the layer. The diffusion coating comprises a surface additive layer and a diffusion layer below the surface additive layer. The formation of the diffusion coating and removal thereof may be repeated at least once.

A method for transient liquid phase bonding two metallic substrate segments together including the steps of forming a joined component by bringing together the two substrate segments along a bond line with a brazing alloy comprising a melting point depressant disposed between the two segments at the bond line and performing a first thermal treatment including heating the joined component at a brazing temperature of the brazing alloy for a first period of time. The method further includes performing a second thermal treatment including heating the joined component at an intermediate temperature that is above the brazing temperature but below a gamma prime solvus temperature of the substrate segments for a second period of time and performing a third thermal treatment including heating the joined component at a super-solvus temperature that is above the gamma prime solvus temperature of the two metallic substrate segments for a third period of time.
摘要:
Methods are provided for producing alloy forms from alloys containing one or more extremely reactive elements and for fabricating a component therefrom. The fabricating method comprises substantially removing a reactive gas from the fabrication environment. An alloy form of the alloy is formed. The alloy form is formed by melting the alloy or by melting one or more base elements of the alloy to produce a molten liquid and introducing the one or more extremely reactive elements into the molten liquid. The molten alloy is shaped into the alloy form. The component is formed from the alloy form. If the one or more extremely reactive elements are introduced into the molten liquid, such introduction occurs just prior to the shaping step.
