  • Patent number: 9144855
    Abstract: The use of pre-sintered soldering plates, referred to as PSPs, frequently proceeds without a continuous, cohesive soldering connection between individual grains in the sinter material and between the sinter and base material. A process soldering of prefabricated, perforated, porous or drilled plates or porous, spongy, laminar material that, can be laid full-surfaced on a base element as a plurality of tiles or as individual porous, drilled or perforated inlay elements designed contour-close on a recess in the base material is provided. To this end, the selected plate materials can be mechanically equal to the base material or otherwise set off for the particular requirements of the component insert. The solder can be offset by specific diffusible, melting-point-lowering components. A mold that has an open, continuous porosity so that melted or fluid solder can flow through from the one surface to the other surface is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8123105
    Abstract: A method for repairing wider gaps in a substrate of a component by brazing at a brazing temperature is provided. Filler material and solder are prevented from separating in that, in a two-stage process, first the filler material and then the solder are applied to the wider gap. The powder does not melt at the brazing temperature and the filler metal does melt at the brazing temperature.

  • Patent number: 8017250
    Abstract: Conventionally, cavities and cracks are filled with a solder metal which forms brittle phases with a subsequently applied coating, which have a negative effect on the mechanical properties. According to the invention, the components which form brittle phases are removed from the solder metal. The above is achieved, whereby a second material is applied which reacts with said component and which is removed again with the brittle phases, before the coating.

  • Publication number: 20110154947
    Abstract: A brazing composition for the brazing of superalloys including a base material with at least one initial phase is provided. The initial phase has a solidus temperature that is below the solidus temperature of the base material and, above a certain temperature, forms with the base material and/or with at least one further initial phase at least one resultant phase, the solidus temperature of which is higher that the solidus temperature of the initial phases. Heat treatment takes place in two stages, wherein the temperature of the second heat treatment is preferably 800-1200° C. The brazing composition may likewise be of the type MCrAlX, and the power particles of the initial phase may be in the form of nanoparticles.

  • Publication number: 20100224600
    Abstract: A welding process is provided. The welding process includes two steps. First, the welding material is applied over a large area of the substrate in the region without melting or partially melting the welding material. Then, a welding device is used to melt the applied welding material. In addition the welding material may be applied in two applications where the second application of the welding material is applied over a large area of the first application of molten and solidified welding material. Then, the second application of the welding material is melted.

  • Publication number: 20090107003
    Abstract: There is described a method for cleaning components that comprise cracks that are polluted with oxides, in particular gas turbine part. In said method, the components to be cleaned are exposed in a cleaning chamber at high temperature to a cleaning gas containing gaseous halogen compounds, which ionize to form halide ions. A cleaning gas is used containing 18 to 30% by volume hydrogen halide.
