|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) |  | Involves subjecting components to elevated temperature (up to 1200°C) and isostatic pressure (typically 100-200 MPa) in a high-pressure gas atmosphere to remove internal porosity and defects. | Turbine blades, discs, combustion chambers | Removes internal voids, improves density, enhances fatigue and creep resistance. | |
Heat Treatment |  | Involves heating the component to specific temperatures followed by controlled cooling (quenching, air cooling, etc.) to alter its mechanical properties, such as hardness, toughness, and tensile strength. | Turbine blades, combustion chambers, impellers | Enhances mechanical properties, increases strength, and improves thermal stability. | |
Superalloy Welding |  | Uses techniques like electron beam, laser, or TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding to join superalloy parts or repair damaged sections, ensuring precise control over temperature and fusion. | Nozzle rings, combustion chambers, afterburners, casings | Provides strong, high-temperature joints, repairs and extends life of components. | |
Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) |  | Applies a thin ceramic-based coating (typically zirconia) onto superalloy components using plasma spraying or electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) techniques to provide thermal insulation. | Turbine blades, nozzle rings, afterburners | Protects against high thermal loads, enhances thermal efficiency, and increases component lifespan. | |
Material Testing and Analysis |  | Uses nondestructive (X-ray, ultrasonic, eddy current) and destructive testing (tensile testing, fatigue testing) to assess the material properties, microstructure, and detect internal defects. | Turbine discs, blades, impellers, combustion chambers | Ensures material integrity, verifies mechanical properties, and predicts service life. | |
Superalloy CNC Machining |  | Employs computer-controlled machinery (lathes, mills, etc.) to achieve highly precise dimensions and intricate geometries for superalloy parts, maintaining tolerances down to micrometers. | Turbine discs, blades, impellers, nozzle rings | High-precision manufacturing, enhances surface quality, and meets tight tolerances. | |
Superalloy Deep Hole Drilling |  | Utilizes specialized drills with cutting fluid injection to drill deep, narrow holes in high-strength materials, often with a depth-to-diameter ratio exceeding 100:1. | Turbine blades, combustion chambers, heat exchangers | Creates precise cooling channels, improves thermal management, and increases efficiency. | |
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) |  | Uses a controlled series of electrical discharges (sparks) to erode material from the workpiece, allowing for precision machining without direct tool contact, particularly on hard materials. | Turbine blades, impellers, precision parts | Enables precise shaping of complex geometries in hard-to-machine alloys without inducing stress. |
