83 ISOTHERMAL STRUCTURAL REPAIR OF SUPERALLOY COMPONENTS INCLUDING TURBINE BLADES US13414751 2012-03-08 US20130115092A1 2013-05-09 Kazim Ozbaysal
Structural repair of cracks and other defects in superalloy components, such as steam or gas turbine blades in stationary or aero gas turbines, are performed by heating the blade substrate to an isothermal hold temperature below the substrate's incipient melting point and filling the crack with molten superalloy filler material. The molten filler solidifies into a casting and bonds with the component substrate at the isothermal hold temperature. Heat treatment processes are completed, so that the former crack is filled with cast superalloy material having identical or similar structural properties as the adjoining substrate superalloy material. The casting repair method may be utilized universally for all types of superalloy component defects, including those previously repaired by cosmetic, lower strength welding or brazing methods.

85 Elimination of Shrinkage Cavity in Cast Ingots US13333469 2011-12-21 US20120160442A1 2012-06-28 Mark Anderson; Todd F. Bischoff; James Boorman; Wayne J. Fenton; David Sinden; John Steven Tingey; Robert Bruce Wagstaff
An exemplary embodiment provides a method of eliminating a shrinkage cavity in a metal ingot cast by direct chill casting. The method involves casting an upright ingot having an upper surface at an intended height. Upon completion of the casting, the lower tip of the spout is maintained below the molten metal near the center of the upper surface. The metal flow through the spout is terminated and a partial shrinkage cavity is allowed to form as metal of the ingot shrinks and contracts. Before the partial cavity exposes the lower tip of the spout, the cavity is preferably over-filled with molten metal, while avoiding spillage of molten metal, and then the flow of metal through the spout is terminated. These steps are repeated until no further contraction of the metal causes any part of the upper surface to contract below the intended ingot height.

93 Methods of making wear resistant tooling systems to be used in high temperature casting and molding US10278374 2002-10-23 US20030106198A1 2003-06-12 James E. Kowalczyk; Rick J. Bolyea
A method of making or reconstituting a steel tooling used in the processing of high temperature molten material includes machining an undercut surface in the tooling which provides an inset edge trapping receiving surface with an end marginal wall. The undercut is prepared for the reception of a barrier layer which fills the undercut and merges with the tooling surface bordering the undercut. Then a chemical barrier providing wear resisting coating surface which is thermally expansively and contractibly compatible with the tooling surface to avoid fracturing stresses due to differential rates of thermal expansion and contraction at elevated temperatures is fused to the receiving surface.
94 Solidification of an article extension from a melt using a ceramic mold US588587 1996-01-18 US5904201A 1999-05-18 Melvin Robert Jackson; Bernard Patrick Bewlay; Wayne Alan Demo; Stephen Joseph Ferrigno
A method for forming integral extensions on the end of directionally oriented, superalloy articles, such as airfoil blading members or other components used in gas turbine or other turbine engines. An extension is formed directly on an article by dipping a portion or end of the article into a molten bath of a compatible alloy, followed by withdrawal of the end under controlled conditions sufficient to cause an integral extension to solidify on the article. A ceramic mold is utilized over the dipped end of the article with a mold cavity that generally defines the shape of the extension to be formed. The mold may be formed in situ, or preformed and attached to the subject article. Extensions formed by the method of this invention have a microstructure that is continuous and compatible with that of the article. Such microstructures may include epitaxial growth of the extension from the microstructure of the article. The method establishes a temperature gradient within the article during solidification that may be further controlled by auxiliary heating and/or cooling of the article and/or extension during the practice of the method.
95 Method for replacing blade tips of directionally solidified and single crystal turbine blades US892034 1997-07-14 US5822852A 1998-10-20 Bernard Patrick Bewlay; Melvin Robert Jackson
A method for repairing a blade tip of a turbine blade of a gas turbine engine. The method is particularly directed to replacing the squealer tip (14) of a directionally solidified (DS) or single crystal (SX) turbine blade (10), and can be carried out using a brazing or welding technique. The method generally entails the step of machining the tip (14) to remove any damaged, worn, oxidized or eroded portions thereof sustained by the blade (10) during engine operation. A DS or SX superalloy replacement tip (18) is then placed on the surface generated by the machining operation. If a brazing operation is used, a brazing alloy composition (16) is first applied to the blade tip or replacement tip (18) prior to placement of the replacement tip (18). The brazing alloy composition (16) is composed of at least two alloys, one of which having a melting point lower than the recrystallization temperature and solvus temperature of the superalloy of the turbine blade (10), such that heating causes the brazing alloy composition (16) to flow and thereby join the replacement tip (18) to the blade tip of the turbine blade (10). Alternatively, if a welding operation is employed, the joining operation entails transmitting current through the turbine blade (10) and replacement tip (18) to resistance weld the replacement tip (18) to the blade tip of the blade (10).
96 Method for forming an article extension by melting of a mandrel in a ceramic mold US672154 1996-06-27 US5673744A 1997-10-07 Bernard Patrick Bewlay; Melvin Robert Jackson; Ann Melinda Ritter
An extension is formed directly on an article by melting a portion or end of the article having an attached integral mandrel within a ceramic mold, followed by cooling of the end under controlled conditions sufficient to cause an integral extension to solidify on the article. A ceramic mold is attached on the end of the article over the integral mandrel with a mold cavity that generally defines the shape of the extension to be formed. The mold may be formed in situ on the mandrel, or preformed and attached to the subject article over the mandrel. Extensions formed by the method of this invention have a microstructure that is continuous and compatible with that of the article. Such microstructures may include epitaxial growth of the extension from the microstructure of the article. The method establishes a temperature gradient within the article during solidification that may be further controlled by auxiliary heating and/or cooling of the article and/or extension during the practice of the method.
97 Process and apparatus for repair of drive blades such as turbine blades US1583 1993-01-06 US5261480A 1993-11-16 Jurgen Wortmann; Fritz Staub; Bruno Walser
A process and apparatus for the repair of single-crystal drive blades, such as turbine blades, in which a sound portion of the blade is inserted into an open bottom of a casting mold in communication with a casting cavity in the mold adopted to the shape of the blade. The molten metal is then cast into the mold to unite with the sound portion and an epitaxial single-crystal solidification of the melt is produced on the sound portion to form the entire blade. A part of the sound portion has an outer surface layer thereof removed to expose a core region which is constituted of substantially pure single crystal material prior to casting. The sound part is secured in a holder which is coupled to the casting mold for only a matter of seconds before the molten metal is cast into the mold.
