Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fabricating an open-porous metal foam body with a nickel base alloy, to a metal foam body fabricated this way as well as advantageous applications for the separation of specific components and pollutants from fluid flows. On the occasion, according to the set object open-porous metal foam bodies which have improved mechanical properties, and in addition an enlarged specific surface and/or increased surface roughness are to be provided. During fabricating it is proceeded such that an open-porous base foam body made of nickel or a nickel base alloy is coated with a liquid binding agent. Subsequent to this, a mixture of a powdery nickel base alloy and an organic component the temperature of phase transformation of which is at least 30 degrees centigrade from its solid phase to the liquid phase is deposited. The temperature should then be below the respective temperature of phase transformation.

Abstract: A turbine blade for turbo-engines as well as a method for manufacturing such a turbine blade is disclosed. According to the task set, the turbine blades should be capable of withstanding high thermal stress and able to maintain an adequate mechanical strength even at raised operating temperatures. The turbine blades are so designed that on the surface of a core element a heat-insulating layer of a metallic open-cell foam is integrally connected to said core element by sintering. The outer contour of the turbine blade is formed with at least one shell element. The shell element comprises a nickel-base alloy, which is also integrally connected by sintering to the open-cell foam which forms the heat-insulating layer.

Abstract: The invention relates to components which are produced or processed by powder metallurgy, and to processes for producing components of this type. The components produced by powder metallurgy are intended both to have porous regions and to provide fluid-tight properties, and it should also be possible to produce them at correspondingly low cost and suitably flexibly. For this purpose, a component of this type has at least one porous region, which is formed from an intermetallic phase or solid solutions. However, it may also have a corresponding surface coating. Moreover, in a component of this type there is at least one areal fluid-tight region which is formed from a meta or metal alloy of the corresponding intermetallic phase or solid solution.

Abstract: The invention relates to open-pored metallic foam bodies as well as a method for manufacturing thereof. These metallic foam bodies are allowed to be advantageously used with ambient environmental conditions causing a high corrosion to many conventional materials, and accordingly reducing the lifetime thereof frequently. According to the set object, the metallic foam bodies should have a low mass simultaneously with a high specific surface, and increased corrosion resistance under chemically aggressive ambient environmental conditions. An open-pored metallic foam body according to the invention is then developed such that it is formed from a nickel-copper alloy having at least 40 percent by weight of nickel and yet a porosity of at least 90%.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing components with a nickel base alloy as well as to components manufactured therewith. The respective components, in particular, are to have improved mechanical properties in comparison with the conventional solutions, and are to be producible in the most differently shaped form. During the production, proceeding takes place then such that a substrate core made of nickel or a nickel base alloy, in which nickel is included with a content of at least 20 wt %, will be coated on the surface with a binding agent as well as a metal powder in which nickel is included with a content of at least 20 wt % in addition to further alloy forming elements. Subsequently, a stepped thermal treatment is carried out in which the binding agent is expelled at first, and subsequent to this sintering of the mezai powder is performed which results in alloying up a nickel substrate core and/or which develops a solid surface coating made of nickel base alloy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for fabricating an open-porous molded body which is formed from nickel or iron and at least another element which form solid solutions or intermetallic phases as well as a molded body which is correspondingly fabricated, and the use thereof. During the fabrication it is proceeded then, such that a coating with a metallic powder forming solid solutions or intermetallic phases is deposited upon an open-porous body made of nickel or iron by means of an organic binder. Subsequent thereto, the open-porous body provided with the coating is brought into the desired shape with observing minimum bending radii, and subsequently the organic components are removed in a first thermal treatment step. By means of a second thermal treatment the open-porous molded body is sintered, and the solid solution or the intermetallic phase are formed.

With the solution according to the invention, sintered bodies which achieve improved properties, such as an increased surface area, deformability of the structures at room temperature or modification of the initial pore volume, are to be produced. To this end, at least one sintering-active powder which forms at least one intermetallic phase or mixed crystals is applied to the surface of a porous basic body. Heat treatment is to be carried out subsequently, in which intermetallic phases or mixed crystals which increase the specific surface area can be formed.
