[0019] These and other features of the present disclosure can be best understood from the following drawings and detailed description. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The drawings can be briefly described as follows:

[0021] Figure 1 illustrates an example process of forming an airfoil.

[0022] Figure 2 schematically illustrates an example additive manufacturing machine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] Figure 1 illustrates an example additive manufacturing process 10. The process 10 can be used to create airfoils including complex features, such as cooling passages, that are relatively difficult or impossible to produce using conventional processing techniques. The airfoils could be any type of rotating airfoil, including rotor blades or stator vanes a compressor, or turbine section of a gas turbine engine, for example. The airfoils could additionally be fan blades or struts within the fan section of a gas turbine engine. This application is not limited to airfoils used in gas turbine engines, however, and extends to airfoils for land-based turbines used in power plants, or in land-based turbines that drive pumps, as examples.

[0024] In the illustrated example, a powdered metal 12 used for forming an airfoil is provided within a machine 14. Using an additive manufacturing technique, the machine 14 deposits multiple layers of powdered metal onto one another. The layers are fused together with reference to computer aided drafting (CAD) data 16, which represents a particular airfoil design.

[0025] With reference to the CAD data 16, the airfoil is produced, at 18, by building up layers of the fused powdered metal. If desired, the airfoil can be post-processed, at 20, to provide desired structural characteristics. For example, the airfoil may further machined or heated to reconfigure the joined layers into a single crystalline structure. Alternatively or additionally, known coatings may be applied.

[0026] Figure 2 schematically illustrates an example additive manufacturing machine 14. In the example, powdered metal 12 is provided on a bed 22 and is fused by an additive manufacturing process. As illustrated, the additive manufacturing process is an electron beam fusing process, including an electron beam source 24 which generates an electron beam 26. In another example, the additive manufacturing process is a direct metal laser sintering process. [0027] The powdered metal 12 is fused in a manufacturing environment 28 provided by the machine 14. In one example, the manufacturing environment 28 is a vacuum. That is, the manufacturing environment 28 provides an environment sealed off from external influences, and may have a pressure substantially less than atmospheric pressure. In a further example, the machining environment 28 is free of Argon (Ar).

[0028] Airfoils (e.g., rotor blades, stator vanes, fan blades) are required to be strong and ductile at the high temperatures commonly associated with turbines. Nickel (Ni)- based alloys have been used in the production of airfoils using laser melting processes, within Argon (Ar) rich environments, in which Argon (Ar) gas is the most abundant gas. Airfoils produced from such methods exhibit inconsistent properties at high temperatures due, at least in part, to impurities associated with the microstructure of the components.

[0029] When manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques in an Argon (Ar)-free manufacturing environment, however, airfoils formed of certain Nickel (Ni)-based alloys have enhanced ductility and strength at the elevated temperatures associated with the operation of gas turbine engines, as explained below.

[0030] A first example of such a Nickel (Ni)-based alloy includes Molybdenum (Mo) within a range of 7.7 to 9.5 wt. %, Titanium (Ti) within a range of 0.06 to 0.08 wt. %, Aluminum (Al) within a range of 0.3 to 0.5 wt. %, Niobium (Nb) within a range of 4.5 to 5.5 wt. %, Carbon (C) within a range of 0.02 to 0.04 wt. %, and a balance of Nickel (Ni) and alloying elements. The alloying elements, in a further example, include about 4.9 wt. % Iron (Fe), about 21 wt. % Chromium (Cr), and about 0.14 wt. % Silicon (Si).

[0031] A second example Nickel (Ni)-based alloy consistent with this disclosure is Alloy 625M. Alloy 625M includes about 4.8 wt. % Iron (Fe), about 21 wt. % Chromium (Cr), about 8.6 wt. % Molybdenum (Mo), about 0.07 wt. % Titanium (Ti), about 0.40 wt. % Aluminum (Al), about 5.01 wt. % Niobium (Nb), about 0.03 wt. % Carbon (C), about 0.14 wt. % Silicon (Si), and a balance of Nickel (Ni). As used herein, the terms "about" and "approximately" refer to a range of plus or minus 15%. [0032] While these two example Nickel (Ni)-based alloys have been used in other manufacturing techniques, the properties of an airfoil cannot be predicted based on the selection of a particular manufacturing technique alone. For example, Alloys 625, 625M and 718 have inconsistent properties when formed using laser melting within an Argon (Ar) rich environment. When manufactured within an Argon (Ar)-free manufacturing environment, however, a Nickel (Ni)-based alloy having a composition consistent with the above two examples results in an airfoil with enhanced properties relative to Alloys 625 and 718.

[0033] For example, such airfoils exhibit a yield strength within a range of 133,000 psi (about 917 MPa) and 137,000 psi (about 945 MPa), and an ultimate tensile strength within a range of 178,000 psi (about 1,241 MPa) and 183,000 psi (about 1262 MPa) when at room temperature. At significantly higher temperatures such airfoils made of Alloy 625M in an Argon-free environment exhibit a tensile ductility within a range of 33% to 38% at 1400 °F (about 760 °C), while the same made in an Argon-rich environment exhibits a tensile ductility within a range of 14% and 16% at 1400 °F (about 760 °C). Further, such airfoils have reduced levels of Aluminum (Al)-based oxides (such as alumina, AI2O3), thereby reducing fracture susceptibility at grain boundaries. In one example, such airfoils are free, or are substantially free, of Aluminum (Al)-based oxides. The enhanced strength, ductility, and fracture resistance of such airfoils was unexpected given what was known relative to Alloys 625, 625M and 718 in the context of laser melting within an Argon (Ar) rich environment.

[0034] Although the different examples have the specific components shown in the illustrations, embodiments of this invention are not limited to those particular combinations. It is possible to use some of the components or features from one of the examples in combination with features or components from another one of the examples.

[0035] One of ordinary skill in this art would understand that the above-described embodiments are exemplary and non-limiting. That is, modifications of this disclosure would come within the scope of the claims. Accordingly, the following claims should be studied to determine their true scope and content.
