• Welding processes vary considerably depending upon the type of material being welded. Some materials are more easily welded under a variety of conditions, while other materials require special processes in order to achieve a structurally sound joint without degrading the surrounding substrate material.
• Common arc welding generally utilizes a consumable electrode as the feed material.
• an inert cover gas or a flux material may be used when welding many alloys including, e.g. steels, stainless steels, and nickel based alloys.
• Inert and combined inert and active gas processes include gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) (also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG)) and gas metal arc welding (GMAW) (also known as metal inert gas (MIG) and metal active gas (MAG)).
• GTAW gas tungsten arc welding
• GMAW gas metal arc welding
• MIG metal inert gas
• MAG metal active gas
• Flux protected processes include submerged arc welding (SAW) where flux is commonly fed, flux cored arc welding (FCAW) where the flux is included in the core of the electrode, and shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) where the flux is coated on the outside of the filler electrode.
• SAW submerged arc welding
• FCAW flux cored arc welding
• SMAW shielded metal arc welding
• Superalloys typically include a high nickel or cobalt content.
• Examples of superalloys include alloys sold under the trademarks and brand names Hastelloy, Inconel alloys (e.g. IN 738, IN 792, IN 939), Rene alloys (e.g. Rene N5, Rene 80, Rene 142), Haynes alloys, Mar M, CM 247, CM 247 LC, C263, 718, X-750, ECY 768, 282, X45, PWA 1483 and CMSX (e.g. CMSX-4) single crystal alloys.

• Rene alloys e.g. Rene N5, Rene 80, Rene 142

• weld repair of some superalloy materials has been accomplished successfully by preheating the material to a very high temperature (for example to above 1600 °F. or 870 °C.) in order to significantly increase the ductility of the material during the repair.
• This technique is referred to as hot box welding or superalloy welding at elevated temperature (SWET) weld repair, and it is commonly accomplished using a manual GTAW process.
• hot box welding is limited by the difficulty of maintaining a uniform component process surface temperature and the difficulty of maintaining complete inert gas shielding, as well as by physical difficulties imposed on the operator working in the proximity of a component at such extreme temperatures.
• Some superalloy material welding applications can be performed using a chill plate to limit the heating of the substrate material; thereby limiting the occurrence of substrate heat affects and stresses causing cracking problems.
• this technique is not practical for many repair applications where the geometry of the parts does not facilitate the use of a chill plate.
• FIG. 6 is a conventional chart illustrating the relative weldability of various alloys as a function of their aluminum and titanium content. Alloys such as Inconel ® IN718 which have relatively lower concentrations of these elements, and consequentially relatively lower gamma prime content, are considered relatively weldable, although such welding is generally limited to low stress regions of a component. Alloys such as Inconel ® IN939 which have relatively higher concentrations of these elements are generally not considered to be weldable, or can be welded only with the special procedures discussed above which increase the temperature/ductility of the material and which minimize the heat input of the process. A dashed line 80 indicates a recognized upper boundary of a zone of weldability.
• the line 80 intersects 3 wt.% aluminum on the vertical axis and 6 wt.% titanium on the horizontal axis. Alloys outside the zone of weldability are recognized as being very difficult or impossible to weld with known processes, and the alloys with the highest aluminum content are generally found to be the most difficult to weld, as indicated by the arrow.
• Laser microcladding is a 3D-capable process that deposits a small, thin layer of material onto a surface by using a laser beam to melt a flow of powder directed toward the surface.
• the powder is propelled toward the surface by a jet of gas, and when the powder is a steel or alloy material, the gas is argon or other inert gas which shields the molten alloy from atmospheric oxygen.
• Laser microcladding is limited by its low deposition rate, such as on the order of 1 to 6 cm 3 /hr.
• the protective argon shield tends to dissipate before the clad material is fully cooled, superficial oxidation and nitridation may occur on the surface of the deposit, which is problematic when multiple layers of clad material are necessary to achieve a desired cladding thickness.
• FIG. 1 illustrates a cladding process using a multi-layer powder.
• FIG. 2 illustrates a cladding process using a mixed layer powder.
• FIG. 3 illustrates a cladding process using a cored filler wire and a cold metal arc welding torch.

• FIG. 6 is a prior art chart illustrating the relative weldability of various superalloys.
• FIG. 7 illustrates the application of superalloy cladding by a laser microcladding process utilizing powdered flux material.
• FIGs. 1 -5 herein illustrate various aspects and applications of the inventive technology described herein, and that the description of FIG. 7 below is particularly directed to the use of the inventive technology for laser microcladding applications.
• the present inventors have developed a materials joining process that can be used successfully to clad the most difficult to weld superalloy materials. While flux materials have not previously been utilized when welding superalloy materials, embodiments of the inventive process advantageously apply a powdered flux material during a laser microcladding process.
• the powdered flux material is effective to provide beam energy trapping, impurity cleansing, atmospheric shielding, bead shaping, and cooling temperature control in order to accomplish crack-free joining of superalloy materials without the necessity for high temperature hot box welding or the use of a chill plate or the use of inert shielding gas.
• Figure 1 illustrates a process where a layer of cladding 10 of a superalloy material is being deposited onto a superalloy substrate material 12 at ambient room temperature without any preheating of the substrate material 12 or the use of a chill plate.
• the substrate material 12 may form part of a gas turbine engine blade, for example, and the cladding process may be part of a repair procedure in some embodiments.
• a layer of granulated powder 14 is pre-placed on the substrate 12, and a laser beam 16 is traversed across the layer of powder 14 to melt the powder and to form the layer of cladding 10 covered by a layer of slag 18.
• the cladding 10 and slag 18 are formed from the layer of powder 14 which includes a layer of powdered superalloy material 20 covered by a layer of powdered flux material 22.
• the flux material 22 and resultant layer of slag 18 provide a number of functions that are beneficial for preventing cracking of the cladding 10 and the underlying substrate material 12. First, they function to shield both the region of molten material and the solidified (but still hot) cladding material 10 from the atmosphere in the region downstream of the laser beam 16. The slag floats to the surface to separate the molten or hot metal from the atmosphere, and the flux may be formulated to produce a shielding gas in some embodiments, thereby avoiding or minimizing the use of expensive inert gas. Second, the slag 18 acts as a blanket that allows the solidified material to cool slowly and evenly, thereby reducing residual stresses that can contribute to post weld reheat or strain age cracking.
• the slag 18 helps to shape the pool of molten metal to keep it close to a desired 1 /3 height/width ratio.
• the flux material 22 provides a cleansing effect for removing trace impurities such as sulfur and phosphorous that contribute to weld solidification cracking. Such cleansing includes deoxidation of the metal powder. Because the flux powder is in intimate contact with the metal powder, it is especially effective in accomplishing this function.
• the flux material 22 may provide an energy absorption and trapping function to more effectively convert the laser beam 16 into heat energy, thus facilitating a precise control of heat input, such as within 1 -2%, and a resultant tight control of material temperature during the process. Additionally, the flux may be formulated to
• FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment of the invention where a layer of cladding 30 of a superalloy material is being deposited onto a superalloy substrate material 32, which in this embodiment is illustrated as a directionally solidified material having a plurality of columnar grains 34.
• the layer of powder 36 is pre- placed or fed onto the surface of the substrate material 32 as a homogeneous layer including a mixture of both powdered alloy material 38 and powdered flux material 40.
• the layer of powder 36 may be one to several millimeters in thickness in some embodiments rather than the fraction of a millimeter typical with known selective laser melting and sintering processes.
• Typical powdered prior art flux materials have particle sizes ranging from 0.5 - 2 mm, for example.
• the powdered alloy material 38 may have a particle size range (mesh size range) of from 0.02 - 0.04 mm or 0.02 - 0.08 mm or other sub-range therein. This difference in mesh size range may work well in the embodiment of FIG. 1 where the materials constitute separate layers; however, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, it may be advantageous for the powdered alloy material 38 and the powdered flux material 40 to have overlapping mesh size ranges, or to have the same mesh size range in order to facilitate mixing and feeding of the powders and to provide improved flux coverage during the melting process.
• a particle size range may work well in the embodiment of FIG. 1 where the materials constitute separate layers; however, in the embodiment of FIG. 2, it may be advantageous for the powdered alloy material 38 and the powdered flux material 40 to have overlapping mesh size ranges, or to have the same mesh size range in order to facilitate mixing and feeding of the powders and to provide improved flux coverage during the melting process.
• the energy beam 42 in the embodiment of FIG. 2 is a diode laser beam having a generally rectangular cross-sectional shape, although other known types of energy beams may be used, such as electron beam, plasma beam, one or more circular laser beams, a scanned laser beam (scanned one, two or three dimensionally), an integrated laser beam, etc.
• the rectangular shape may be particularly advantageous for embodiments having a relatively large area to be clad, such as for repairing the tip of a gas turbine engine blade.
• the broad area beam produced by a diode laser helps to reduce weld heat input, heat affected zone, dilution from the substrate and residual stresses, all of which reduce the tendency for the cracking effects normally associated with superalloy repair.
• Optical conditions and hardware optics used to generate a broad area laser exposure may include but are not limited to: defocusing of the laser beam; use of diode lasers that generate rectangular energy sources at focus; use of integrating optics such as segmented mirrors to generate rectangular energy sources at focus; scanning (rastenng) of the laser beam in one or more dimensions; and the use of focusing optics of variable beam diameter (e.g. 0.5 mm at focus for fine detailed work varied to 2.0 mm at focus for less detailed work).
• the motion of the optics and/or substrate may be programmed as in a selective laser melting or sintering process to build a custom shape layer deposit.
• Advantages of this process over known laser melting or sintering processes include: high deposition rates and thick deposit in each processing layer; improved shielding that extends over the hot deposited metal without the need for inert gas; flux will enhance cleansing of the deposit of constituents that otherwise lead to solidification cracking; flux will enhance laser beam absorption and minimize reflection back to processing equipment; slag formation will shape and support the deposit, preserve heat and slow the cooling rate, thereby reducing residual stresses that otherwise contribute to strain age (reheat) cracking during post weld heat treatments; flux may compensate for elemental losses or add alloying elements, and powder and flux pre-placement or feeding can efficiently be conducted selectively because the thickness of the deposit greatly reduces the time involved in total part building.
• the embodiment of FIG. 2 also illustrates the use of a base alloy feed material 44.
• the feed material 44 may be in the form of a wire or strip that is fed or oscillated toward the substrate 32 and is melted by the energy beam 42 to contribute to the melt pool. If desired, the feed material may be preheated (e.g. electrically) to reduce overall energy required from the laser beam. While it is difficult or impossible to form some superalloy materials into wire or strip form, materials such as pure nickel or nickel- chromium or nickel-chromium-cobalt are readily available in those forms. In the embodiment of FIG.
