摘要： A cobalt-based alloy composition having a relatively small lanthanum addition and relatively large carbon content provides remarkable oxidation resistance and wear resistance at high temperatures. The cobalt-based alloy composition has a suitable combination of ductility and wear resistance at high temperatures to be effective as a hard face material for limiting the effects of chattering of blades during the operation of a gas turbine engine. Further, the cobalt-based alloy has a suitable combination of ductility, oxidation resistance and wear resistance and thus represents an improved hard facing material for the blade components of gas turbine engine.

摘要： A method of forming a metal product. A metal alloy workpiece substrate is provided have pre-process dimensions. The dimensional differences are determined between the pre-process dimensions of the workpiece substrate and desired post-process dimensions of a post-process metal product formed from the workpiece substrate. A build-up thickness is determined of coating material required to obtain the desired post-process dimensions of the post-process metal product. A high-density coating process is performed to coat the workpiece substrate with a coating material to build-up a thickness of coating material effective to obtain desired finished dimensions after performing a sintering heat treatment process and/or a hot isostatic pressing treatment. The sintering heat treatment is performed on the coated workpiece substrate to densify the coating material. Then, the hot isostatic pressing treatment is performed to obtain the post-process metal product having the desired post-process dimensions and having diffusion bonding between the coating material and the workpiece substrate.

摘要： A method for repairing gas turbine engine airfoil parts. The dimensional differences between pre-repaired dimensions of a turbine engine airfoil part and desired post-repair dimensions of the turbine engine airfoil part are determined. A build-up thickness of coating material required to obtain the desired post-repair dimensions of the turbine engine airfoil part is determined. A high-density coating process, such as HVOF, is used to coat the turbine engine airfoil part with a coating material to the determined build-up thickness of coating material effective to obtain the desired post-repair dimensions after performing a sintering heat treatment and a hot isostatic pressing treatment, and, if performed, a re-application of a protective coating. The coating material comprises a metal alloy capable of forming a diffusion bond with the substrate of the turbine engine airfoil part. After the coating material is applied, the sintering heat treatment process is performed to prevent gas entrapment of the coating material and/or the diffusion bonding area during the hot isostatic pressing process. Then, the hot isostatic pressing process is performed to obtain a post-repair turbine engine airfoil part having the desired post-repair dimensions and having diffusion bonding between the coating material and the turbine engine airfoil substrate. A protective coating may be first removed from the turbine engine airfoil part prior to performing the high-density coating process. Typically, this protective coating is present on an airfoil part to protect it from the hot corrosive environment it experiences during service. After performing the hot isostatic pressing process, the protective coating may be re-applied. In this case, the build-up thickness may determined to take into consideration the additional thickness of the post-repaired part due to the addition of the protective coating.

摘要： The invention provides methods and apparatus for producing hair transplantation donor strips for use in hair transplantation procedures. According to one exemplary method, a surgical instrument is provided having at least two planar blades, with each blade having a sharpened edge, and with the blades being substantially parallel to each other. The blades are translated along and through an area of the scalp having hair to form at least two parallel incisions in the scalp. The orientation of the blades relative to the hair is adjusted such that the blades are generally aligned at all times with the direction of hair growth for the hair between the blades when the surgeon is making the incisions. A graft of skin having hair is then removed from between the incisions formed by the blades. At least a portion of the graft of skin having at least one hair is then placed into another area of the scalp.

摘要： A policyholder report may be obtained by an insurer from an insured through a series of questions presented by an automated, electronic system. The insured may access the system through a portal, such as a graphical user interface, which may ask the insured a dynamic series of account and/or risk-based questions at or near the expiration of an insurance policy term, and permit the insured to submit verification and supporting information through the portal. Based on the insured's responses to the questions and the information provided, the insurer may complete a review and/or audit, and determine an adjustment to the premium. Additionally, the system may permit the insured and the insurer to review the audit during all stages of completion, and may allow the insured to opt out of the electronic process at any time, or to dispute the results of the audit through the portal.

摘要： A method of forming an engine airfoil part. The attributes of a final workpiece product are selected. An appropriate substrate composition is determined depending on the selected attributes. A workpiece substrate is formed to near-finished dimensions. An appropriate coating material composition is determined depending on the selected attributes. The workpiece substrate is prepared for a high-density coating process. The high-density coating process, such as HVOF thermal spray, is performed to coat the workpiece substrate with the coating material. The coating material is built-up to a thickness effective to obtain desired finished dimensions after performing a hot isostatic pressing treatment. The appropriate hot isostatic pressing treatment parameters are determined. The hot isostatic pressing treatment is performed on the coated workpiece substrate to obtain a metal product having the desired finished dimensions and diffusion bonding between the coating material and the workpiece substrate.
