  • Patent number: 11926880
    Abstract: Methods for forming a dual-phase magnetic component from an initial component comprising a non-magnetic austenite composition are provided. The method may include: forming a coating on a portion of the surface of the initial component to form a masked area while leaving an unmasked area thereon. Thereafter the initial component may be heated to a treatment temperature such that nitrogen diffuses out of the unmasked area of the initial component to transform the non-magnetic austenite composition to a magnetic phase in the unmasked area. Thereafter, the initial component may be cooled from the treatment temperature to form a dual-phase magnetic component having a magnetic region corresponding to the unmasked area and a non-magnetic region corresponding to the masked area.

  • Publication number: 20190241995
    Abstract: A nickel based alloy, along with methods of its use and manufacture, is provided that may include about 20 wt. % to about 26 wt. % cobalt; about 9 wt. % to about 13 wt. % chromium; about 2 wt. % to about 6 wt. % iron; about 3.5 wt. % to about 6 wt. % aluminum; about 9 wt. % to about 13 wt. % tungsten; about 6 wt. % to about 9 wt. % tantalum; about 0.06 wt. % to about 0.20 wt. % boron; and the balance nickel. The nickel based alloy may have gamma prime precipitates in a plurality of grain interiors and a gamma prime solvus temperature of about 1038° C. or greater. Additionally or alternatively, the nickel based alloy may comprise about 30% by volume or more gamma prime precipitates in the plurality of grain interiors.

  • Publication number: 20160023439
    Abstract: Methods for joining dissimilar high-temperature alloys are provided, along with articles, such as turbine airfoils, formed by the method. The method comprises interposing a barrier material between a first segment and a second segment to form a segment assembly. The first segment comprises a titanium aluminide material, and the second segment comprises a nickel alloy. The barrier material comprises a primary constituent element present in the barrier material at a concentration of at least about 30 weight percent of the barrier material, and the primary constituent element is a transition metal element of Group 1B, Group 4B (excluding titanium and zirconium), Group 5B, Group 6B, Group 7B, or Group 8B (excluding nickel).
