Abstract: A method of additively manufacturing is provided. The method may include successively depositing and fusing together layers of a superalloy powder mixture comprised of a base material powder and a eutectic powder, to build up an additive portion, which eutectic powder has a solidus temperature lower than the solidus temperature of the base material powder. The method may also include heat treating the additive portion at a temperature greater than 1200° C. to heal cracks and/or fill pores and to homogenize the alloy of which the additive portion is comprised. The additive portion alloy has a chemistry defined by the superalloy powder mixture. The base material powder may be formed of a nickel-base superalloy with an aluminum content by weight of at least 1.5%. The eutectic powder may be a nickel-base alloy including by weight about 6% to about 11% chromium, about 5% to about 9% titanium, and about 9% to about 13% zirconium, with balance nickel as its primary components.

Abstract: A turbine blade having an airfoil portion includes a first ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component having a first outer surface and a second ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component having a second outer surface. The second CMC component is positioned adjacent the first CMC component such that the first outer surface and the second outer surface align with one another and at least partially define the airfoil portion. A ceramic bead is at least partially formed at an interface between the first CMC component and the second CMC component. The formation of the bead melts a portion of the first CMC component and the second CMC component, such that the ceramic bead, the first CMC component, and the second CMC component become a single contiguous component and the bead fixedly attaches the first CMC component and the second CMC component. The bead includes a bead outer surface that extends outward beyond the first outer surface and the second outer surface and an overlayer is deposited onto the airfoil portion, the overlayer bonded to the first outer surface, the second outer surface, and the bead outer surface.

Abstract: An electrode (10) is presented including a sheath (14) formed of a ductile material, an outer coating (16) including a flux material, and a core (12) including at least one of flux material and alloying material. The ductile material may be an extrudable subset of elements of a desired superalloy material and the alloying material may include elements that complement the ductile material to form a desired superalloy material when the electrode is melted. The outer coating may be formed of a flexible bonding material or it may be segmented (18, 20) to facilitate bending the electrode onto a spool. Any hygroscopic material of the electrode may be included in the core to protect it from exposure to atmospheric moisture.

Abstract: A method of welding with low shrinkage stress, including forming an excavation (42, 70) in a surface (24, 76) of a substrate (24, 76) with a shallow geometry (D, W, A) limited to surfaces oriented within 45 degrees of the surface. Molten weld metal (46, 80) in the excavation solidifies with largely unopposed shrinkage vectors directed toward the substrate within 45 degrees of normal to the surface. The molten metal may be warmed along the sides of the excavation (42A, 42B) so it solidifies upward (56) from the bottom, rather than from the sides inward. A metal insert (78, 84) may be fitted into the excavation and welded along the interface between them using a process that minimizes mechanical restraint on the weld by accommodating weld shrinkage.

Abstract: A method for forming a dispersion strengthened alloy. An alloy material (8) is melted with a heat source (28) to form a melt pool (30) in the presence of a flux material (26), and strengthening particles (36) are directed into the melt pool such that the particles are dispersed within the melt pool. Upon solidification, a dispersion strengthened alloy (44) is formed as a layer or weld joint bonded to an underlying substrate or as an object contained in a removal support.
