B and 0.01 wt. % Zr, was first describe in the US Patent 4,169,742. Later on the optimized the optimized version of this alloy that comprises 12 wt. % Co, 6.8 wt. % Cr, 1.5 wt. % Mo, 4.9 wt. % W, 2.8 wt. % Re, 6.15 wt. % Al, 6.35 wt. % Ta, 1.5 wt. % Hf, 0.12 wt. % C, 0.015 wt. % B and 0.02 wt. % Zr became well-known as Rene 142 or R142 superalloy that has been widely used as welding material and structural material for a manufacturing of directionally solidified (DS) turbine blades due to unique combination of oxidation resistance and high mechanical properties that were achieved by the optimization of Ta+Al+Cr content coupled with no titanium addition and high aluminum content combined with the special multi step heat treatment, refer to per Earl W. Ross and Kevin S. O'Hara, "Rene 142: A high strength, oxidation resistant DS turbine airfoil alloy", Superalloys 1982, pp. 257 - 265. The optimization of rupture properties of Rene 142 DS as per Earl W. Ross and Kevin were achieve by a homogenization at 2335°F for 2 hours followed by annealing at 2050°F for four hours, primary aging at 1975°F for four hours and secondary aging at 1650°F for four hours (referred to as R142 HT).
Abstract:
The present concept is a method of cladding and fusion welding of superalloys and includes the steps of firstly application of a composite filler powder that comprises 5- 50% by weight brazing powder which includes melting point depressants, and 50-95% by weight high temperature welding powder, to a superalloy base material. Secondly there is simultaneous heating of the base material and the composite filler powder by a welding heat source that is movable relative to the base material. There is heating to a temperature that will fully melt the brazing powder and at least partially melt the high temperature welding powder and also melt a surface layer of the base material, thereby forming a weld pool. Thirdly upon solidification and cooling of the weld pool, there is coalescence between a weld bead and the base material.

Preferably the total bulk content of B is less than 4 wt. % and the surface layer comprises from 5 to 95 wt.% of the alloying elements selected from among B and Si.
Abstract:
A process of coating a refractory turbine part with a protective coating which is ultimately diffusion bonded to the part. A slurry coating material is prepared from a mixture of a silicon alkyd paint and suspended particles of an aluminum or aluminum alloy powder. Parts may be dipped in the slurry and subsequently be heat treated in selected atmospheres and temperatures to diffuse the coating into the surface of the part.
