摘要:
A method for repairing a workpiece includes the steps of providing an unstripped, coated workpiece comprising a surface having a localized damage site; masking the workpiece about the localized damage site; generating a microplasma stream; and applying a first powdered material to the localized damage site using the microplasma stream; and applying a second powdered material to the workpiece surface using the microplasma stream. Another method for repairing a workpiece includes the steps of providing an unstripped, coated workpiece comprising a surface having a localized damage site; generating a microplasma stream; applying without a maskant a powdered metal alloy to the damage site using the microplasma stream; and dimensionally restoring the workpiece.
摘要:
A repair method of propagating epitaxial crystalline structures is provided. The repair method broadly comprises the steps of providing a substrate to be repaired, placing an additive material as a preformed shape onto an area of the substrate to be repaired, utilizing a heat source to heat an entire volume of the additive material and an area adjacent to the additive material to a fusion temperature, holding at the fusion temperature for a time sufficient to allow grain growth and orientation to occur, and ramping down the heat source at a predetermined controlled rate until solidification is complete.
摘要:
Microspray apparatus and methods involve injecting powdered material into a plasma gas stream. The material comprises first and second component powders. The second powder is a majority by the weight of the powdered material. The first powder acts as a melting point depressant. The first and second powders may have similar compositions but with the first powder including a greater quantity of a melting point depressant element.
摘要:
A thermal management process for enabling the restoration of a surface of a metallic detail in the presence of at least one bonding material, comprising preparing at least one damaged area on a metallic detail; disposing at least one thermal management component upon a bonding material or a surface area proximate to the bonding material to which the metallic detail is joined; masking at least the surface area and the bonding material with a masking agent; and dimensionally restoring a surface of the metallic detail disposed on the article at a processing temperature lower than a temperature which would degrade the bonding material, the substrate, or the bondment interface therebetween.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for microplasma spray coating a portion of a substrate, such as a gas turbine compressor blade, without masking any portions thereof. The apparatus includes a microplasma gun with an anode, cathode, and an arc generator for generating an electric arc between the anode and cathode. An arc gas emitter injects inert gas through the electric arc. The electric arc is operable for ionizing the gas to create a plasma gas stream. A powder injector injects powdered material into a plasma stream. A localized area of the compressor blade is coated with the powdered material without having to mask the compressor blade.
