  • Methods of forming high-temperature electroformed components and related components
    Patent number: 11788198
    Abstract: An electroformed composite component includes reinforcing particles in a metal matrix. The composite component is formed by a method including passing an electric current between an anode and a cathode in the presence of an electrolyte. The electrolyte includes a metal salt and a plurality of reinforcing particle precursors. The method further includes depositing a composite layer on the cathode, wherein the composite layer includes the metal matrix and the plurality of reinforcing particle precursors dispersed in the metal matrix. An optional heat treatment can be performed subsequently to transform the precursor particles to more stable forms with concomitant improvement in composite material properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 17, 2023
    Assignee: General Electric Company
    Inventors: Andrew Joseph Detor, Rebecca Louise Casey, Sachin Ananda Nalawade
