An article, such as a turbine engine component, formed from a nickel-base superalloy, the nickel-base superalloy containing a γ″ tetragonal phase and comprising aluminum, titanium, tantalum, niobium, chromium, molybdenum, and the balance nickel, wherein the article has a time dependent crack propagation resistance of at least about 20 hours to failure at about 1100° F. in the presence of steam. The invention also includes a nickel-base superalloy for forming such and article and methods of forming the article and making the nickel-base superalloy.
摘要:
An article that comprises a fine-grain, homogeneous microstructure is essentially oxide- and sulfide-free and segregation defect free. The article is produced by a process that comprises forming a source of clean refined metal that has oxides and sulfides refined out by electroslag refining; and forming the article by nucleated casting. The invention also sets forth the article made by a system for implementing the clean metal nucleated casting process.

摘要:
A method of treating an article including a titanium alloy having 5-6.5% aluminum by weight; 1.5-2.5% tin by weight; 1.5-2.5% chromium by weight; 1.5-2.5% molybdenum by weight; 1.5-2.5% zirconium by weight; and titanium. The method includes heat treating the titanium alloy without exposing the titanium alloy to a beta anneal process. There is also an article that has been subjected to a heat treatment process that does not include a beta anneal.
摘要:
A formed article comprising a nanostructured ferritic alloy is provided. Advantageously, the article is not formed via extrusion, and thus, cost savings are provided. Methods are also provided for forming the article, and the articles so produced, exhibit sufficient continuous cycle fatigue crack growth resistance and hold time fatigue crack growth resistance to be utilized as turbomachinery components, and in particular, large, hot section components of a gas or steam turbine engines. In other embodiments, a turbomachinery component comprising an NFA is provided, and in some such embodiments, the turbomachinery component may be extruded.
