  • Publication number: 20240001443
    Abstract: A method for additively manufacturing components includes additively printing a metallic preform such that the preform contains a predetermined amount of porosity. Furthermore, the method includes working the additively printed preform such that the preform incurs a predetermined amount of deformation. Moreover, the method includes heat treating the worked preform to form a final component.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20180245194
    Abstract: An article includes a substrate comprising a precipitate-strengthened alloy and a coating disposed over the substrate. The alloy comprises a) a population of gamma-prime precipitates, the population having a multimodal size distribution with at least one mode corresponding to a size of less than about 100 nanometers; or b) a population of gamma-double-prime precipitates having a median size less than about 300 nanometers. The coating comprises at least two elements, and further comprises a plurality of prior particles. At least a portion of the coating is substantially free of rapid solidification artifacts. Methods for fabricating the article and for processing powder useful for fabricating the article are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9931815
    Abstract: Coatings for substrates, such as superalloy substrates, are provided. The coating can include: 15 wt % to 45 wt % cobalt; 20 wt % to 40 wt % chromium; 2 wt % to 15 wt % aluminum; 0.1 wt % to 1 wt % yttrium; and nickel. The coatings may include nickel, cobalt, chromium and aluminum, and other optional additives to improve oxidation and corrosion resistance of the substrate without significant debit to its mechanical properties.
