  • Patent number: 9370795
    Abstract: A method for applying a wear protection layer to a continuous flow machine component which has a base material comprising titanium is provided. The method includes the following steps: mixing a solder which comprises an alloy comprising titanium and particles which are distributed in the alloy and have a reaction agent; applying the solder to predetermined points of the continuous flow machine component; introducing a heat volume into the solder and the continuous flow machine component so that the alloy becomes liquid and the reaction agent changes through diffusion processes with the solder and undergoes a chemical reaction with the alloy, forming a hard aggregate; and cooling the solder so that the alloy becomes solid.

  • Patent number: 9309597
    Abstract: A turbine component is provided, on which a protective layer is arranged, for example to avoid droplet impact erosion, wherein, in a first method step, a nanofilm is applied and a brazing metal is applied to the nanofilm, and the nanofilm chosen is one which, after initial ignition, leads to an exothermic reaction, whereby fusion of the brazing metal with the base material takes place to form a protective layer.

  • Publication number: 20140230245
    Abstract: A method for repairing surface damage to a turbomachine component that has a base material which has titanium with the base material having TiAl6V4 and/or pure titanium is provided. The method includes the following steps: mixing a solder that has a titanium-containing alloy and a powder which is distributed in the solder and which has the base material; applying the solder onto turbomachine component areas where the surface damage is located; introducing a quantity of heat into the solder and into the turbomachine component such that the alloy liquefies and the areas are thus wetted; and cooling the solder such that the alloy solidifies.
