  • Patent number: 12005608
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for obtaining carbon fiber from carbon fiber waste (e.g., pre-preg and CFP waste). The method and apparatus use an oxygen free pyrolytic process to volatilize the epoxy resin or other matrix in which the fibers are held to liberate the fibers therefrom. The reactor has a counterflow such that the carbon fibers are moved in one direction and the off gasses are moved in the opposite direction. A combination of steam at the reactor outlet and vacuum pressure at the reactor inlet create the counter flow.

  • Patent number: 8555500
    Abstract: A method of producing or repairing single-crystalline turbine or engine components by the following steps: heating of braze filler metal to a temperature which is greater than or equal to the melting temperature of the braze filler metal; introducing the molten mass of the braze filler metal produced through the heating process into a crack formed in the turbine or engine component, or into the gap formed between two turbine or engine components, or into a damaged area of a turbine or engine component; and non-isothermal control or regulation of the temperature of the braze filler metal or turbine or engine component during an epitaxic solidification process of the braze filler metal.

  • Patent number: 7074284
    Abstract: In a heat treatment process for a single-crystal or directionally solidified material body comprising a nickel-based superalloy, the material body is solution-annealed and then at a first temperature ?? particles of greater than 1 ?m are precipitated in a proportion by volume with Vtot?V1 of less than 50%, where Vtot is the total amount of ?? particles after complete heat treatment and V1 is the proportion of the ?? particles which is greater than 1 ?m, and at least at a second temperature ‘?’ particles of less than 1 ?m are precipitated. The ?? particles are preferably precipitated in a size of 2 pin or more with a proportion by volume of 0.25<(Vtot?V1)/(100?V1)<0.55 at the first temperature. The proportion by volume Vtot of the ?? particles will be at least 50%.

  • Patent number: 6412541
    Abstract: A thermally highly loaded casting is produced. The casting mold is produced from a slurry using a wax model and a polymer foam which is fixed to the wax model or has been introduced into a cavity. In this way, during the casting process the liquid superalloy also penetrates into the open-cell structure of the casting mold, so that an integral cooling structure is formed during the solidification of the casting. A single-crystal or directionally solidified casting is advantageously produced. It is also conceivable to vary the cell size of the polymer foam, to produce a cooling structure and a base material separately, and to coat the cooling structure with a ceramic protective layer (thermal barrier coating).

  • Publication number: 20010042607
    Abstract: To produce a thermally highly loaded casting (1, 14, 16, 17) of a thermal turbomachine which is produced using a known casting process, the casting mold is produced from a slurry using a wax model and a polymer foam which is fixed to the wax model or has been introduced into a cavity. In this way, during the casting process the liquid superalloy also penetrates into the open-cell structure of the casting mold, so that an integral cooling structure (7) is formed during the solidification of the casting (1, 14, 16, 17). A single-crystal or directionally solidified casting (1, 14, 16, 17) is advantageously produced. It is also conceivable to vary the cell size of the polymer foam, to produce cooling structure (7) and base material separately and to coat the cooling structure (7) with a ceramic protective layer (thermal barrier coating) (11).
