    摘要: There is provided a method for depositing a modified MCrAlY coating on a turbine blade tip. The method utilizes laser deposition techniques to provide a metallurgical bond between a turbine blade substrate, such as a superalloy substrate, and the modified MCrAlY composition. Further the modified MCrAlY coating has sufficient thickness such that a post-welding grinding operation to size the turbine blade to a desired dimension will not remove the modified MCrAlY coating entirely. The modified MCrAlY coating thus remains on the finished turbine blade tip after grinding.

    摘要: A method is provided for repairing degraded and/or eroded areas on gas turbine blades and vanes. The method is directed to turbine blades and vanes made of advanced superalloy materials with high elevated-temperature properties. The method uses multiple laser beams to perform steps of preheating the repair area, welding the repair area, and post-welding heating of the repaired area. The method uses an array of two or more lasers to perform the steps of heating, welding, and post-weld heat treatment in nearly simultaneous operation thereby dramatically reducing or eliminating the hot cracking associated with other welding methods used with superalloy materials. The method is further directed to cladding or material buildup of degraded turbine blades where the weld material is the same as the matrix or better superalloy materials.

    摘要: Methods are provided for repairing a vane assembly, where the vane assembly includes an inner annular housing, an outer annular housing, and a vane extending therebetween. In one embodiment, the method includes removing an identified section of the vane to thereby form a pocket in an inner surface of the outer annular housing, a slot through the inner annular housing, and an edge on the vane, inserting a replacement vane portion with an advanced coating through the formed slot such that a first edge of the replacement vane portion is disposed in the pocket and at least a portion of the first edge is spaced apart from at least a portion of the outer annular housing inner surface, and welding a section of the replacement vane portion to the annular inner annular housing. The repaired vane assembly is also provided.

    摘要: A powder feed splitter and a machine using a powder feed splitter, to divide a powder flow into two or more streams in a predictable, adjustable, and reliable manner for use in material processing such as welding. A housing encloses an inlet disk having an inlet regulator preferably a disk, having an inlet tube which may be adjustable radially or laterally with respect to the housing. An adjustment mechanism can selectively move the inlet regulator to adjust the powder flow amongst the several powder outlet ports. Funnel-shaped cavities within the housing may have optional gas inlets to enable the introduction of additional gas to the separated powder flow streams. A one-way fit may be present between the interior powder flow splitter and the exterior casing. Smooth interior surfaces through the device prevent turbulence and buildup of powder.
