Abstract: Preforms for use in base metal repair are formed by thermally spraying preferably a blend of a braze alloy and a high temperature alloy onto a separation sheet thereby forming a preform sheet. The separation sheet is removed from the preform sheet and the preform sheet is cut to form individual preforms which can be brazed directly onto a worn area of a high temperature alloy part such as a jet engine part.

Abstract: Corrosion resistant metal, either platinum or MCrAlY is bonded to a corrosion sensitive metal such as nickel based superalloys by coating the surface with the corrosion resistant metal particles held in a binder and covering this with a metalide generating tape. This is then heated to cause the formation of the metalide coating on the metal surface, which in turn, bonds the corrosion resistant metal to the surface.

Abstract: A base metal repair tape includes a first layer formed braze alloy bonded together with fibrillated polytetrafluoroethylene, a second layer formed from powdered base metal bonded together by fibrillated polytetrafluoroethylene and a third layer comprising a brazing alloy bonded together by fibrillated polytetrafluoroethylene. This is used to repair base metal by placing the first layer on the base metal and brazing the base metal powder so that the brazing alloy melts and diffuses into the base metal powder bonding it to the surface of the article. This permits the braze powder to be bonded to the base metal surface with minimal distance between the base powder particles. The number of alternating layers of base metal and braze alloy can be increased to increase the thickness of the repair. This can also be used to form small intricate parts.

Abstract: A method of forming a superalloy part comprises: forming a preform from tape, said tape comprising a base metal layer and a braze alloy layer, said base metal layer comprising fibrillated polytetrafluoroethylene and an oxygen-sensitive superalloy base metal powder selected from the group consisting of titanium, aluminum, hafnium, and chromium, and said braze alloy layer comprising fibrilated polytetrafluoroethylene and braze alloy; heating the preform in an hydrogen or vacuum environment. Another method of forming a superalloy part comprises using a tape comprising fibrilated polytetrafluoroethylene, said oxygen-sensitive superalloy base metal powder, and powdered braze alloy.

Abstract: A masking tape for preventing the formation of coatings such as nickel aluminide on localized areas of a surface is formed from a tape comprising a first separating layer containing powdered metal oxide and a polytetrafluoroethylene binder; a second brazing alloy layer comprising a metal selected from the group consisting of brazing alloy, nickel, cobalt, iron, mixtures thereof, and alloys thereof in a fibrillated polytetrafluoroethylene binder; and an optional third layer comprising a powdered metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, and iron in a fibrillated polytetrafluoroethylene binder.
