Description
- This application claims the benefit of, and is a divisional application of co-pending patent application Ser. No. 13/166,215 filed Jun. 22, 2011, entitled “METHOD OF FABRICATING A COMPONENT AND A MANUFACTURED COMPONENT”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention is directed to manufactured components and processes of fabricating manufactured components. In particular, the present invention is directed to processes for welding and welded components.
- The operating temperature within a gas turbine is both thermally and chemically hostile. Advances in high temperature capabilities have been achieved through the development of iron, nickel, and cobalt-based superalloys and the use of environmental coatings capable of protecting superalloys from oxidation, hot corrosion, etc.
- In the compressor portion of a gas turbine, atmospheric air is compressed to 10-25 times atmospheric pressure, and adiabatically heated to 700° F.-1250° F. (371° C.-677° C.) in the process. This heated and compressed air is directed into a combustor, where it is mixed with fuel. The fuel is ignited, and the combustion process heats the gases to very high temperatures, in excess of 3000° F. (1650° C.). These hot gases pass through the turbine, where airfoils fixed to rotating turbine disks extract energy to drive an attached generator which produces electrical power. To improve the efficiency of operation of the turbine, combustion temperatures have been raised. Of course, as the combustion temperature is raised, steps must be taken to prevent thermal degradation of the materials forming the flow path for these hot gases of combustion.
- Many hot gas path components are fabricated using welding processes. It is desirable for weld joints in or around such components to have increased resistance to strain age cracking, thereby extending the operational range of the components and/or the usable life of the components.
- A welded component and a process of welding a component that do not suffer from one or more of the above drawbacks would be desirable in the art.
- In an exemplary embodiment, a welded component includes a boundary region positioned at least partially on a crack sensitive fusion boundary, and a filler region positioned at least partially on the boundary region. The boundary region provides resistance to strain age cracking within the crack sensitive fusion boundary.

FIG. 1 shows anexemplary component 100 fabricated by an exemplary process. Thecomponent 100 is a welded component and includes aboundary region 205 formed by a boundary application layer 102 (seeFIG. 3 ) positioned at least partially on a cracksensitive fusion boundary 104 of abase metal 105 and afiller region 106 positioned at least partially on theboundary region 205. Theboundary region 205 provides resistance to strain age cracking within the cracksensitive fusion boundary 104. As used herein, the term “crack sensitive fusion boundary” refers to a region of a component with heightened sensitivity to cracking in comparison to other regions, for example, due to casting dilution effect. For example, as shown inFIG. 1 , in one embodiment, the cracksensitive fusion boundary 104 extends below abase 101 of anisosceles triangle 108 formed within a semicircular orsemispherical cavity 110 of thecomponent 100. In one embodiment, the cracksensitive fusion boundary 104 is within alower portion 112 of thecavity 110, for example, about ⅓ of the depth of thecavity 110, and/or is not within theupper portion 114 of thecavity 110. As will be appreciated, in some embodiments, thecavity 110 includes alternative geometries including, but not limited to, a curved geometry that is not a semicircular or semispherical, channel-like geometry, a rectilinear geometry, a complex geometry (for example, turbine components such as blades, nozzles, shrouds, and other complex components), or any other suitable geometry. - As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , according to the exemplary process, thecomponent 100 is fabricated by depositing (for example, pre-dripping) and then manipulating (for example, smearing, buttering, or otherwise manipulating) amolten material 202 onto at least a portion of asurface 204 of thecomponent 100 to form theboundary application layer 102 and then the boundary region 205 (seeFIG. 4 ). In one embodiment, themolten material 202 is applied in conjunction with aweld torch 208 and aweld rod 209. Welding according to the disclosure is performed by any suitable weld mechanism/process, including, but not limited to plasma weld processes, arc weld processes, laser or pulse weld processes, tungsten inert gas weld processes, other suitable weld processes, or combinations thereof. - The
weld rod 209 is one or more alloys capable of being melted by theweld torch 208. Theweld rod 209 is capable of being in the form of a rod or any other suitable shape (such as a twisted rod) capable of being melted by theweld torch 208. In one embodiment, depositing themolten material 202 according to the process increases resistance to melt pool turbulence, increases resistance to dilution of thebase metal 105, decreases heat input used, increases resistance to liquation and strain age cracking, decreases reliance upon and/or replaces heat treatment utilized after welding, and combinations thereof. In one embodiment, themolten material 202 is applied without localized melting of thebase metal 105. - The
base metal 105 and/or themolten material 202 include a superalloy material. One suitable superalloy material is a nickel-based alloy having, by weight, up to about 15% chromium, up to about 10% cobalt, up to about 4% tungsten, up to about 2% molybdenum, up to about 5% titanium, up to about 3% aluminum, and up to about 3% tantalum.

- Referring to
FIGS. 2-3 , themolten material 202 is applied within a predetermined range of current, for example, between about 5 A and about 40 A, between about 5 A and about 10 A, or between about 30 A and about 40 A. In one embodiment, the composition of themolten material 202 is the same as thebase metal 105. In another embodiment, the composition of themolten material 202 differs from thebase metal 105. In this embodiment, themolten material 202 and thebase metal 105 are superalloys selected from the compositions discussed above. - The
molten material 202 is applied with a predetermined size. The predetermined size is based upon dimensions of theweld rod 209. For example, upon being applied, themolten material 202 generally forms a sphere having about 1.5 to 2.0 times a diameter in comparison to the diameter of theweld rod 209. In one embodiment, the diameter of the weld rod is about between 15 thousandths of an inch and 45 thousandths of an inch, or between about 25 thousandths of an inch and 35 thousandths of an inch, or at about 30 thousandths of an inch. In another embodiment, themolten material 202 is separately formed into spheres or other particles having the predetermined size apart from the application process. - In one embodiment, the predetermined size is based upon including an amount of the
molten material 202 capable of covering a majority or all of the cracksensitive fusion boundary 104. In one embodiment, the predetermined size is based upon the number of layers to be formed. For example, in one embodiment, the predetermined size of themolten material 202 applied is substantially equal to a predetermined volume of thecavity 110. In a further embodiment, the predetermined volume is the volume of thecavity 110 proximal to the cracksensitive fusion boundary 104. - The
boundary application layer 102 is at least partially solidified upon contacting thebase metal 105. Upon being at least partially solidified, theboundary application layer 102 is spread, buttered, or otherwise manipulated and/or deposited to form the boundary region 205 (seeFIGS. 1 and 4 ). For example, in one embodiment, theboundary region 205 is buttered to cover all or at least a portion of the cracksensitive fusion boundary 104 of thebase metal 105. Afiller region 206 is then formed on theboundary region 205. - Referring to
FIGS. 4-7 , themolten material 202 is applied to form one or more molten material application layers 207 until thefiller region 206 is formed. The one or more molten material application layers 207 include the same material as thebase metal 105, the same material as themolten material 202 in theboundary region 205, any suitable superalloy (including those disclosed above), or any combination thereof. - In one embodiment, the
component 100 is formed by depositing a first application of themolten material 202 onto a surface within thecavity 110 of thebase metal 105 where the first application of themolten material 202 at least partially solidifies (seeFIG. 2 ). In one embodiment, themolten material 202 fully solidifies. The method continues with the melting of at least a portion of partially solidified material. This portion is then manipulated to form the boundary region 205 (seeFIG. 3 ). A second application of themolten material 202, which may or may not include the same composition as the first application of themolten material 202, is then deposited onto theboundary region 205 as a first molten material application layer 207 (seeFIG. 4 ). The first moltenmaterial application layer 207 is then manipulated to form the filler region 206 (seeFIG. 5 ). In a further embodiment, a third application of themolten material 202, which may or may not include the same composition as the first application of themolten material 202 and/or the second application of themolten material 202, is then deposited onto thefiller region 206 as a second molten material application layer 207 (seeFIG. 6 ). The second moltenmaterial application layer 207 is then manipulated to further form filler region 206 (seeFIG. 7 ). In one embodiment, asurface layer 211, which may or may not include the same composition as the first application of themolten material 202, the second application of themolten material 202, the third application of themolten material 202, thebase metal 105, or any other suitable composition, is applied to thefiller region 206, thereby forming the component 100 (seeFIG. 1 ). Likewise, a fourth, fifth, sixth, or greater number of the molten material application layers 207 may be applied and manipulated to further form thefiller region 206. - Referring to
FIGS. 8 and 9 , in one embodiment, the base metal includes a composition, by weight, of about 8.0% to about 8.7% chromium, about 9.0% to about 10.0% cobalt, about 5.25% to about 5.75% aluminum, about 0.60% to about 0.90% titanium, 9.30% to about 9.70% tungsten, about 0.40% to about 0.60% molybdenum, about 2.80% to about 3.30% tantalum, and a balance of nickel and the molten material 202 (forming theboundary region 205 and/or the molten material application layer(s) 207) includes a composition, by weight, of about 19.0% to about 21.0% chromium, about 19.0% to about 21.0% cobalt, about 0.30% to about 0.60% aluminum, about 1.90% to about 2.40% titanium, about 5.60% to about 6.10% molybdenum, about 2.40% to about 2.80% tantalum+Aluminum, and a balance of nickel. In this embodiment, analuminum distribution 802 corresponding to the present disclosure is lower within theboundary region 205 and/or the molten material application layer(s) 207 than a first non-drip weldprocess aluminum distribution 804 or a second non-drip weldprocess aluminum distribution 806.
