Abstract: The present invention relates to a self cleaning braze paste which is used in the repair of gas turbine engines. The braze paste comprises lithium fluoride in an amount sufficient to act as a flux which allows the braze material to flow into a crack or void in a part to be repaired up to an amount where there is no residual lithium or fluoride in the crack or void, preferably up to about 20% by volume, a gel binder in an amount up to about 15% by volume, and the balance comprising at least one of a nickel braze alloy and a cobalt braze alloy. In a preferred embodiment, the lithium fluoride is present in an amount from about 10% to about 15% by volume. The braze material of the present invention may be applied in a paste form or, alternatively, in a paint or tape form. A method for cleaning and repairing a braze joint is also disclosed. The method broadly comprises the steps of forming a braze material containing lithium fluoride in the above mentioned range, a gel binder in an amount up to about 15% by volume, and the balance comprising at least one of a nickel braze alloy or a cobalt braze alloy, applying the braze material to the braze joint, and heating the braze material to a temperature in the range of from about a temperature sufficient to cause the lithium fluoride to volatize up to about 2300 DEG F for a time period from about 1.0 minute to about 30.0 minutes.

Abstract: A method for depositing a first material on a substrate (108) includes providing the substrate (108) in a deposition chamber. A molten body (164) is formed between the substrate and a source of the first material by melting one or more second materials. A flow of the first material is passed through the molten body (164) and from the molten body (164) to the substrate (108) as a vapor flow. An essentially non-expending portion of the molten body comprises an alloy having a melting temperature below a melting temperature of the first material.

Abstract: An abrasive material (22) comprised of a metal matrix (26) and evenly distributed ceramic particulates (24), is made by mixing powder metal with the ceramic powder and heating to a temperature sufficient to melt most, but not all of the powder. In this way the ceramic does not float to the top of the material, yet a dense material is obtained. A nickel superalloy matrix will have at least some remnants of the original powder metal structure, typically some equiaxed grains, along with a fine dendritic structure, thereby imparting desirable high temperature strength when the abrasive material is applied to the tips of blades of gas turbine engines. Preferred matrices have a relatively wide liquidus-solidus temperature range, contain a melting point depressant, and a reactive metal to promote adhesion to the ceramic.

Abstract: A Ti-based coating may have embedded defects. The defects may impart one or more structural weakness to the coating and coated part. The coating is subjected to a burnishing process to impart a residual compressive stress to mitigate one or more of these structural weaknesses.
