Abstract:
A composite turbine disc includes a high nickel rim section and a steel bore section. The rim section is formed from a high nickel alloy which provides a higher melting point as compared to the material used for the bore section. A plating or forged welding enhanced agent layer is disposed between the bore section and rim section. Composite disc can be formed by forging the rim and bore material together, or by welding the rim and bore material together.

Abstract:
A rotor (10) for a thermal machine, in particular a steam or gas turbine, includes a plurality of rotor disks (12, 13, 14) which are arranged one behind the other in the rotor axis (11) and are welded to one another, at least one first rotor disk (13), which is arranged in a section of the rotor (10) which is subject to particularly high thermal loads, including a nickel-base alloy which is able to withstand high temperatures and is welded to at least one second, adjacent rotor disk (12, 14), which includes a steel which is able to withstand high temperatures. In a rotor (10) of this type, accurate testing of the welded joints located in the high-temperature region is achieved by nondestructive testing by virtue of the fact that a first rotor ring (15, 16) of a steel which is able to withstand high temperatures is inserted between the first and second rotor disks (13 and 12, 14), which first rotor ring (15, 16) on one side is welded to the second rotor disk (12, 14) and on the other side is joined to the first rotor disk (13) via an encircling weld seam (21, 21′, 26).
Abstract:
A nickel base single crystal compliant layer on a ceramic blade has the capability to sustain high stresses and high operating temperature. Layers of nickel and platinum bonded on a single crystal superalloy over a sputtered gold-chromium layer support the high stress levels at elevated temperature without extrusion of the soft platinum or nickel layer and without destruction of an NiO compliant surface. The compliant layers have survived stress and temperature conditions without failure to the ceramic blade and the system can be stressed/heated and unloaded/cooled repeatedly without damage to the ceramic blades. A single crystal nickel base superalloy (i.e., SC180) has high strength properties at elevated temperature. Thin layers of chromium followed by gold are e-beam evaporated on one side of a polished surface of the alloy. Pure nickel is electroplated over this e-beam gold-chromium layer. Platinum is either electroplated or plated electrolessly over the nickel layer. The structure is annealed in vacuum or inert atmosphere to allow the diffusion of gold-chromium alloy into the superalloy and permit the nickel layer and diffusion of nickel into platinum to form a multilayer structure which is metallurgically bonded. The sheet is oxidized in air to allow diffusion of the nickel layer through the platinum to come to the surface and oxidize forming nickel oxide. This nickel oxide layer acts as the load distribution layer which does not extrude and the structural integrity of the compliant layer is maintained by the high-strength single crystal superalloy.
