Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of metallurgy, and, more particularly, to methods of making a combustion turbine component from a plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies.
- a combustion turbine typically includes, in a serial flow relationship, a compressor section to compress the entering airflow, a combustion section in which a mixture of fuel and the compressed air is burned to generate a propulsive gas flow, and a turbine section that is rotated by the propulsive gas flow. After passing through the turbine section, the propulsive gas flow exits the engine through a diffuser section.
- power is normally extracted from the rotating shaft to drive an electrical power generator.
- a component of such a combustion turbine may advantageously be precisely formed and may take a variety of complicated shapes.
- Some current methods of combustion turbine component formation include casting and forging.
- Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid metal is poured into a mold, typically ceramic, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape to be formed. The liquid metal is allowed to solidify and the solid combustion turbine component casting is then ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process.
- a mold typically ceramic
- the liquid metal is allowed to solidify and the solid combustion turbine component casting is then ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process.
- there may be limitations on the size of surface features of the combustion turbine components that may be formed e.g. it may not be possible to form surface features having dimensions below a certain size).
- Forging is the term for shaping metal by using localized compressive forces.
- a combustion turbine component formed by forging may be relatively strong and may have a fine grain structure.
- a forged combustion turbine component generally exhibits relatively low resistance to creep and may thus be unsuitable for use in certain applications
- Subsequent heat treatment can promote grain growth, however, and it is may be easier to control grain size in a forging than a casting.
- the formation of small surface features on such a combustion turbine component during the forging process may be difficult. Since forgings are generally solid shapes and cooling passages are later machined into the forging, it may be difficult to machine fine scale internal features on an internal surface of a cooling passage of a forging.
- U.S. Pat. No. 7,337,940 to Subramanian et al. discloses a method of manufacturing a combustion turbine component by friction stir welding a plurality of combustion turbine subcomponents together.
- the combustion turbine subcomponents are formed by conventional processes, such as casting or forging. However, some features may not be easily or cost effectively formed by casting or forging processes. In addition, some combustion turbine subcomponents may be constructed from materials that are not easily friction stir welded.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,434,946 to Shaw et al. discloses a method of making a combustion turbine component by bonding a brazing alloy to the surfaces of two combustion turbine subcomponents to be joined together and assembling the two combustion turbine subcomponents. The assembly is then heated to a brazing temperature to form a braze joint between the combustion turbine subcomponents, thereby forming the combustion turbine component.
- a braze joint may be undesirable in some situations and may not provide as strong a bond as desired.
- U.S. Pat. Pub. 2008/0000611 to Bunker et al. discloses a method of forming a casting mold that will be used to cast a combustion turbine component having a variety of surface cooling features, such as hemispheres, that increase the surface area of the combustion turbine component.
- the increased surface area provides the combustion turbine component with enhanced cooling capabilities.
- a combustion turbine component formed by casting and having an increased surface area may not be desirable in some applications.
- certain arrangements of surface cooling features may not be easily formed by casting techniques.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,503,574 to Skelly et al. discloses a method for making a combustion turbine component having cooling grooves defined therein.
- a combustion turbine component substrate is formed by single crystal casting techniques and then a bond coating is formed on the combustion turbine component substrate.
- a pattern of three-dimensional recessed grooves is etched in the bond coating by photolithography and then a thermal barrier coating is formed on the bond coating.
- recessed grooves may not provide the desired cooling capabilities in some applications.
- combustion turbine subcomponents together may be desirable.
- a combustion turbine component having increased surface area that is formed by joining a plurality of combustion turbine subcomponents together may also be desirable.
- a method of making a combustion turbine component may comprise assembling a plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies together to form a metallic greenbody assembly, and sintering the metallic greenbody assembly to thereby form the combustion turbine component.
- the assembling and sintering of the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies to form the combustion turbine component may provide for better tolerance and shrinkage control of the resulting combustion turbine component than possible if finished combustion turbine subcomponents were assembled and joined together.
- this method advantageously provides a stronger bond between the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies.

- a first embodiment of a method of making a combustion turbine component is now described.
- Block 15 a plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies are assembled together to form a metallic greenbody assembly.
- the metallic greenbody assembly has a shape closely resembling that of the final combustion turbine component, but has a greater porosity, a lesser density, and a larger size.
- the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies may be assembled by conventional methods known to those of skill in the art.
- a metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbody is an unsintered metallic combustion turbine subcomponent that lacks strength and has both a low density and high porosity compared to a sintered metallic body.
- the metallic greenbody assembly is sintered to thereby form the combustion turbine component.
- the metallic greenbody assembly may shrink in all directions by up to 20%, thereby increasing in density.
- the porosity of the metallic greenbody assembly is reduced and the strength of the metallic greenbody assembly is increased.
- the sintering may be solid state sintering or liquid state sintering.
- solid state sintering the metallic greenbody assembly is heated to a temperature below the melting point of its constituents and held at that temperature until its particles adhere to each other.
- liquid state sintering the metallic greenbody assembly is heated until at least one but not all of its constituents melt and reach a liquid state.
- the metallic greenbody assembly may be placed under pressure during the sintering.
- the sintering may comprise hot isostatic pressing (HIP).
- HIP subjects a component to high gas pressure in a containment vessel.
- the pressurizing gas is preferably argon, although other inert gasses may be used as will be appreciated by those of skill in the art.
- the pressurizing gas is preferably applied between 100 and 310 MPa (15,000 p.s.i. and 45,000 p.s.i.) at a temperature of 480° C. to 2000° C., although other pressures and other temperatures may be used as well.
- the containment vessel is heated during the HIP, the pressure inside increases.
- the pressure is isostatic because it is applied to the metallic greenbody assembly from all directions evenly.
- the pressure and heat during HIP helps to reduce internal voids in the metallic greenbody assembly through a combination of plastic deformation, creep, and diffusion bonding, thus increasing the density of the metallic greenbody assembly.
- the sintering may be performed without the metallic greenbody assembly being placed under pressure. Block 18 indicates the end of the method.
- a bond coating may be formed on the combustion turbine component and a thermal barrier coating may be formed on the bond coating. Any number of exemplary bond coatings and thermal barrier coatings known to those of skill in the art may be used. In addition, the thermal barrier coating may be formed directly on the combustion turbine component, without an intervening bond coating. Additionally or alternatively, a wear resistant layer may be formed on the combustion turbine component.
- the combustion turbine component may be placed into a casting mold and that additional metallic layers may therefore be formed around the combustion turbine component, encasing it.
- a plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies may be assembled to form a metallic greenbody assembly and that the metallic greenbody assembly may be sintered to form a combustion turbine subcomponent assembly.
- Multiple combustion turbine subcomponent assemblies may be formed in this fashion and then joined together by conventional methods, such as welding or brazing, to form the combustion turbine component.

- the activatable binder may comprise a polymer or plastic binder, a metallic mix including a melting point depressor, or another suitable binder known to those of skill in the art.
- Intermetallic compounds are solid phases containing two or more metallic elements, optionally having one or more non-metallic elements.
- Intermetallic phases form due to strong bonding between unlike metal atoms, this results in an ordered crystal structure, whereby the various atomic species occupy specific sublatice sites.
- Intermetallic compounds may also include interstitial compounds such as carbides and nitrides. Such intermetallic compounds offer advantageous properties like high temperature resistance and hardness.
- Refractory metals include tungsten, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, and rhenium, and are extraordinarily resistant to heat and wear. The methods described herein allow the formation of combustion turbine components from the above materials, whereas conventional methods such as casting and forging may not. It should be noted that the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies may be metallic and not contain any ceramic.
- the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies are assembled together to form a metallic greenbody assembly.
- the activatable binder is activated.
- the activatable binder may be activated by heating the greenbody assembly, or may be activated by other suitable methods. After activation, the activatable binder may optionally be cured through the use of a chemical agent, ultraviolet radiation, bombardment with an electron beam, or further heating.
- the activatable binder may optionally be removed from the greenbody assembly by a pre-sintering heat treating at a temperature of 400° C. to 600° C., or at other suitable temperatures, or through the use of chemical agents. This pre-sintering heat treating, in some embodiments, may increase the density, decrease the porosity, and shrink the greenbody assembly.
- Block 25 the metallic greenbody assembly is sintered to thereby form the combustion turbine component.
- Block 26 indicates the end of the method.

- the metallic greenbody assembly and thus the TLP forming layer are then heat treated at a temperature higher than the melting point of the TLP forming layer, but lower than the melting point of the other constituents of the metallic greenbody assembly. Accordingly, the TLP forming layer melts during the sintering.
- the melting point depressor diffuses from the TLP forming layer into each of the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies, and molecules from each of the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies diffuse into the TLP layer.
- the melting point of TLP layer increases beyond the temperature of the heat treatment and the TLP layer, now close in composition to the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies, resolidifies.

- the activatable binder is activated.
- the metallic greenbody assembly is sintered to thereby form the combustion turbine component.
- the combustion turbine component is devoid of an interface between adjacent ones of the plurality of metallic combustion turbine subcomponent greenbodies after sintering.

Furthermore, this enhanced heat transfer may allow for an amount of cooling fluid used to cool the combustion turbine component 70 to be reduced.
- a first additional surface cooling feature 77 comprising an “x” shaped projection is illustratively on the coarse surface cooling feature 74 and has a dimension greater than 200 ⁇ m.
