  • Composite suction liners and applications thereof
    Patent number: 10578123
    Abstract: Composite suction liners and associated centrifugal pump architectures are described herein which, in some embodiments, provide enhanced operating lifetimes under abrasive slurry conditions. For example, a composite suction liner includes a suction liner substrate and a monolithic cladding metallurgically bonded to a face of the suction liner substrate, the monolithic cladding comprising metal matrix composite including a hard particle phase dispersed in matrix metal or alloy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: March 3, 2020
    Assignee: KENNAMETAL INC.

  • SUPERALLOY COMPOSITE PREFORMS AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20170197283
    Abstract: In one aspect, composite preforms for the repair of superalloy parts and/or apparatus are described herein. For example, a composite preform comprises a nickel-based superalloy powder component, a nickel-based braze alloy powder component and a melting point depressant component disposed in a fibrous polymeric matrix. The fibrous polymeric matrix can form a flexible cloth in which the nickel-based superalloy powder component, nickel-based braze alloy powder component and melting point depressant component are dispersed.
