摘要:
A coated article has a metallic substrate with a substrate composition, and a metallic coating overlying and contacting the metallic substrate. The metallic coating has a metallic-coating composition different from the substrate composition. A protective coating overlies and contacts the metallic coating. The protective coating includes an aluminide layer overlying and contacting the metallic coating, and optionally a thermal barrier coating overlying and contacting the aluminide layer. This structure may be used to restore a key dimension of an article that has previously been in service and to protect the article as well.

A coated article has a metallic substrate with a substrate composition, and a metallic coating overlying and contacting the metallic substrate. The metallic coating has a metallic-coating composition different from the substrate composition. A protective coating overlies and contacts the metallic coating. The protective coating includes a chromium aluminide layer overlying and contacting the metallic coating, and optionally a thermal barrier coating overlying and contacting the chromium aluminide layer. This structure may be used to restore a key dimension of an article that has previously been in service and to protect the article as well.
摘要:
Methods for making a reinforced refractory crucible for melting titanium alloys including providing a form, applying a facecoat to the form, the facecoat having at least one facecoat layer, applying a backing about the facecoat, the backing having at least one backing layer, applying at least one reinforcing element to at least a portion of the facecoat layer, the backing layer, or a combination thereof where the reinforcing element includes at least one composition selected from ceramic compositions, metallic compositions, and combinations thereof.
摘要:
Gamma titanium aluminide intermetallic compositions (gamma TiAl intermetallics) based on the TiAl (gamma) intermetallic compound. The gamma TiAl intermetallics contain chromium and niobium, as well as controlled amounts of carbon that achieve a desirable balance in room temperature mechanical properties and high temperature creep capabilities at temperatures approaching and possibly exceeding 1600° F. (about 870° C.).

摘要:
Methods for reducing carbon contamination when melting highly reactive alloys involving providing a graphite crucible having an interior, applying at least a first protective layer to the interior of the graphite crucible, placing a highly reactive alloy into the crucible having the first protective layer, and melting the highly reactive alloy to obtain a melted alloy having reduced carbon contamination.
摘要:
A welding filler metal is manufactured by casting a nickel-base alloy as an extrusion rod having a diameter of from about 0.2 inch to about 0.5 inch. The extrusion rod has at least about 12 grains in the cross section of the extrusion rod. The extrusion rod is extruded in a single extrusion operation to a filler-metal diameter of less than about 0.1 inch and using an areal extrusion ratio of at least about 9:1 to form the welding filler metal. Preferably, the process is used to make a nickel-base superalloy welding filler metal of a diameter of about 0.05-0.06 inch from an extrusion-rod casting of about ¼ inch diameter and having at least about 12 grains in the cross section.
摘要:
Methods of processing compositions containing titanium and aluminum, especially titanium aluminide intermetallic compositions (TiAl intermetallics) based on the TiAl (gamma) intermetallic compound. The methods entail processing steps that include a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) cycle and a heat treatment cycle that can be performed in a single vessel. TiAl intermetallic compositions processed in this manner preferably exhibit a duplex microstructure containing equiaxed and lamellar morphologies.
摘要:
Methods for making refractory crucibles capable of managing thermal stresses and suitable for melting highly reactive alloys, the method involving providing a crucible having at least a facecoat and a backing, heating at least one retaining ring, applying the at least one retaining ring about at least a portion of the backing of the crucible; and allowing the at least one retaining ring to cool and shrink-fit about the crucible.
