  • Patent number: 11745279
    Abstract: A system is configured for machining a workpiece (100), the workpiece includes an interior surface (110) that defines an internal passage (112). The system includes an electrode (116) located within the internal passage and electrically isolated from the workpiece, an electrolyte supply, a power supply, and a remover. The electrolyte supply is configured for circulating an electrolyte in a gap between the electrode and the workpiece. The power supply is configured for applying a voltage between the electrode and the workpiece to facilitate smoothing the interior surface. The remover is configured for completely removing the electrode from within the internal passage after smoothing the interior surface.

  • Patent number: 11402457
    Abstract: A system and a method for an integrated test on a primary-secondary pole-mounted breaker. The method includes: establishing an electrical connection between the system and the primary-secondary pole-mounted breaker; establishing a communication connection between the system and the primary-secondary pole-mounted breaker; applying, by the system, a voltage signal and a current signal to the primary-secondary pole-mounted breaker through the electrical connection, to generate a voltage and a current on the primary-secondary pole-mounted breaker; collecting, by the system, signals of the voltage and the current fed back from the primary-secondary pole-mounted breaker through the communication connection; performing, by the system, an integrated accuracy test and an integrated protection test; outputting a test result of the accuracy test and a test result of the integrated protection test to the industrial control machine, to generate the test report.

  • Patent number: 11247249
    Abstract: A method for removing oxide materials from a crack of a metallic workpiece comprises: infiltrating an alkali solution into the crack in a pressurized atmosphere or an ultrasonic environment; applying an energy to the crack to react the oxide materials with the alkali solution and form a resultant material; and rinsing the resultant material with an acid solution to remove the resultant material from the crack. The method is easier to penetrate into the inside of the cracks, in particular suitable for cleaning narrow and deep cracks.

  • Patent number: 11106192
    Abstract: A process plan optimization method for manufacturing a workpiece by adding a material in a plurality of layers is provided. The method includes: building a predicting model, the predicting model configured to predict a temperature variation of at least a portion of the workpiece; predicting an expected temperature variation of the portion of the workpiece to be manufactured during a given time period based on the predicting model and the process plan; and adjusting the process plan in response to the expected temperature variation of the portion failing to meet a preset condition, to make the expected temperature variation of the portion meet the preset condition.

  • Publication number: 20170370839
    Abstract: A component treatment processes and treated gas turbine components are disclosed. The gas turbine treatment process includes laser-removing coating from a substrate of a turbine component to form laser-induced plasma, spectroscopically analyzing the laser-induced plasma, and discontinuing the laser-removing in response to the spectroscopic analyzing. The treated gas turbine component includes a laser-affected surface, the laser-affected surface having one or both of modified dimensions and modified microstructure due to being exposed to the laser-removing of the coating. The laser-affected surface has a depth corresponding to the laser-removing being discontinued based upon the spectroscopic analyzing of the laser-induced plasma formed from the laser-removing.

  • Publication number: 20150014289
    Abstract: Processes and corresponding or associated arrangements for removal of a burr from a workpiece, particularly micromachined workpieces, involving irradiating a plasma plume source material with a laser beam to generate a plasma plume. The plasma plume at least in part impacts the burr disposed on the workpiece to at least in part remove the burr from the workpiece. In select embodiments, the plasma plume source material can be a part of the workpiece or a non-workpiece sacrificial material.
