  • Patent number: 11187082
    Abstract: Combining a precipitation-hardening nickel-base alloy with a steel or titanium substrate makes it very easy to repair parts, the nickel-base alloy having good erosion-resistant properties. A method for producing is disclosed. In particular for repairing, a component having a substrate, in particular turbine blades made of steel or titanium, in particular made of martensitic or precipitation-hardening chromium-rich steels, with a localized deposition weld or with an affixed shaped part, in which a precipitation-hardening nickel-based alloy is used as the localized deposition weld or as the shaped part, in which a laser powder deposition weld or an arc deposition weld is performed.

  • Publication number: 20210237190
    Abstract: A method for producing a surface of a base material, wherein the base material has spheroidal graphite cast iron, wherein firstly a partial surface is located, in a further step a two-ply buffer layer is used by means of TIG welding with the welding additive NiFe, wherein in a further step a fill layer is applied to the buffer layer, wherein the MIG welding method is used in conjunction with NiFe-2 in accordance with EN ISO 107 as welding additive material.

  • Patent number: 11066933
    Abstract: A rotor shaft for a turbine rotor of a turbine, in particular a steam turbine, having a shaft main body made of a first material and at least one ring which is made of a second material and is attached to the shaft main body, wherein the second material has equal or greater strength and/or greater corrosion resistance than the first material, wherein at least one blade slot is formed on the ring, and wherein the ring is materially bonded to the shaft main body by narrow-gap welding.
