C25F 3/16
B32B 15/04

US Classification:

416241 R, 427327, 427309, 205640, 428457

Abstract:

A process for reducing secondary reaction zone formation articles includes the steps of non-selective removing an external surface of an as-cast article free of coating to form an as-cast article having a surface substantially free of residual surface stress; and applying a coating material upon the surface substantially free of residual surface stress to form a coated as-cast article having a coating layer disposed upon the surface substantially free of residual surface stress.

B32B 15/01
C22C 19/05

US Classification:

428680, 420445, 420443

Abstract:

A metallic coating for use in a high temperature application is created from a nickel base alloy containing from 5.0 to 10.5 wt % aluminum, from 4.0 to 15 wt % chromium, from 2.0 to 8.0 wt % tungsten, from 3.0 to 10 wt % tantalum, and the balance nickel. The metallic coating has particular utility in protecting single crystal superalloys used in high temperature applications such as turbine engine components.

International Classification:

C30B 21/02
B22D 27/04
C22C 19/05
C30B 29/52

Abstract:

A casting method includes forming a seed. The seed has a first end and a second end. The forming includes bending a seed precursor. The seed second end is placed in contact or spaced facing relation a chill plate. The first end is contacted with molten material. The molten material is cooled and solidifies so that a crystalline structure of the seed propagates into the solidifying material. The forming further includes inserting the bent seed precursor into a sleeve leaving the bent seed precursor protruding from a first end of the sleeve.

International Classification:

B22D 27/04
C30B 11/14
C30B 29/52

Abstract:

A casting method includes forming a seed. The seed has a first end and a second end and an inner diameter (ID) surface and an outer diameter (OD) surface. The seed second end is placed in contact or spaced facing relation with a chill plate. The first end is contacted with molten material. The molten material is cooled and solidified so that a crystalline structure of the seed propagates into the solidifying material. At least a portion of the seed contacted with the molten material has a solidus higher than a solidus of at least an initial pour portion of the molten material.
