摘要:
A casting system, mold, and method are disclosed for electromagnetically stirring sand castings. In an embodiment, the casting mold includes a mold body having a cavity therein, and a passageway fluidly connecting the cavity with an exterior of the mold body. The passageway allows for introduction of a molten metal into the cavity. The mold body further includes at least one induction coil embedded in a cope of the mold body; and at least one induction coil embedded in a drag of the mold body. The induction coils are configured to generate an electromagnetic field for stirring a molten metal casting while it solidifies inside the mold.

摘要:
A process capable of producing large metallic castings having lengths of one hundred centimeters or more and a unidirectional crystal structure substantially free of freckle defects. The process includes preheating a mold within a heating zone of a directional casting apparatus, pouring a molten metal alloy into a cavity of the mold, and then withdrawing the mold from the heating zone, through a heat shield, and into a cooling zone of the directional casting apparatus to directionally solidify the molten metal alloy within the cavity. The heating and cooling zones establish an axial thermal gradient that defines a solidification front in the molten metal alloy within the cavity. The mold is withdrawn at a withdrawal rate that, in combination with the axial thermal gradient, causes the solidification front to be substantially flat and perpendicular to the withdrawal direction.

A cobalt-nickel base alloy is disclosed. The alloy includes, in weight percent: greater than about 4% of Al, about 10 to about 20% of W, about 10 to about 40% Ni, about 5 to 20% Cr and the balance Co and incidental impurities. The alloy has a microstructure that is substantially free of a CoAl phase having a B2 crystal structure and configured to form a continuous, adherent aluminum oxide layer on an alloy surface upon exposure to a high-temperature oxidizing environment. A method of making an article of the alloy includes: selecting the alloy; forming an article from the alloy; solution-treating the alloy; and aging the alloy to form an alloy microstructure that is substantially free of a CoAl phase having a B2 crystal structure, wherein the alloy is configured to form a continuous, adherent aluminum oxide layer on an alloy surface upon exposure to a high-temperature oxidizing environment.

A process and system are provided for forming shaped air holes, such as for use in turbine blades. Aspects of the disclosure relate to forming shaped portions of air holes using a short pulse laser, forming a metered hole corresponding to each shaped portion, and separately finishing the shaped portion using a short-pulse laser. In other embodiments, the order of these operations may be varied, such as to form the shaped portions and to finish the shaped portions using the short-pulse laser prior to forming the corresponding metered holes.
摘要:
A coating system and process capable of providing erosion and corrosion-resistance to a component, particularly a steel compressor blade of an industrial gas turbine. The coating system includes a metallic sacrificial undercoat on a surface of the component substrate, and a ceramic topcoat deposited by thermal spray on the undercoat. The undercoat contains a metal or metal alloy that is more active in the galvanic series than iron, and electrically contacts the surface of the substrate. The ceramic topcoat consists essentially of a ceramic material chosen from the group consisting of mixtures of alumina and titania, mixtures of chromia and silica, mixtures of chromia and titania, mixtures of chromia, silica, and titania, and mixtures of zirconia, titania, and yttria.
