摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for repairing turbine engine components, such as vanes and blades, which have airfoils. The method broadly comprises removing oxidation debris from portions of the component by blending areas exhibiting thermal barrier coating spall and/or oxidation damage, removing a ceramic insulating layer from the component, and blending surfaces of the component where nicks, dents, and/or cracks are located. If the component has a depleted aluminum zone, the depleted zone is either removed or replenished. Further, a tip portion of the component, if damaged, is restored and tip abrasives are applied to restore the component's cutting ability. Thereafter, a ceramic coating is applied to the component.

A metallic coating for use in a high temperature application is created from a nickel base alloy containing from 5.0 to 10.5 wt % aluminum, from 4.0 to 15 wt % chromium, from 2.0 to 8.0 wt % tungsten, from 3.0 to 10 wt % tantalum, and the balance nickel. The metallic coating has particular utility in protecting single crystal superalloys used in high temperature applications such as turbine engine components.
摘要:
A method of surface cleaning and controlled oxidation of superalloys is described. The method provides a thin homogeneous layer of relatively pure alpha alumina which is suited to receive and adhere to a subsequent vapor deposited coating.

The present invention relates to an overlay coating which has improved strength properties. The overlay coating comprises a deposited layer of MCrAlY material containing discrete nitride particles therein. The nitride particles are present in a volume fraction in the range of 0.1% to 15.0% and have a particle size in the range of from 0.1 microns to 10.0 microns. The coating may also have oxide particles dispersed therein.

The present invention relates to high temperature composite materials formed from nano-sized powders suitable for use in the manufacture of jet engine components. The composite materials consist essentially of a matrix formed from a powdered material having a particle size in the range of from about 1 to about 100 nanometers and a plurality of reinforcing fibers embedded within the matrix and comprising from about 20% to about 40% by volume of the composite material. The method of manufacturing the composite materials broadly comprises the steps of mixing the powdered material with the reinforcing fibers and consolidating the mixture to form the composite material.

Repair methods involving conductive heat resistance welding includes repairing a crack of a gas turbine engine component using a conductive heat resistance welding technique and a welding technique other than conductive heat resistance welding.
摘要:
An uncooled turbine outer air is comprised of a combination of monolithic ceramics with high temperature capability and oxidation and creep resistance, and a fiber reinforced ceramic composite with high fracture toughness. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a fiber reinforced ceramic composite of silicon carbide and aluminum borosilicate is infiltrated by chemically vapor deposited silicon carbide. The infiltration process is continued until the composite develops a monolithic layer of silicon carbide. An additional layer is deposited on the monolithic ceramic to provide additional thermal protection.
摘要:
A porous substrate of a fuel cell electrode assembly is formed by producing a fibrous carbon precursor web by means of a conventional wet paper-making process. The precursor web is then dried and saturated with a wet resinous binder which will carbonize when heated. Substantially the entirety of all of the carbon fibers in the web are thus coated with the binder, and substantially all of the inter-fiber junctures in the web will also be coated with the binder. The saturated web is then dried, and heat treated to convert the binder to a glassy carbon which exhibits superior resistance to corrosion.
