|---|---|---|---|---|---|
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. | Valves, turbine discs, impellers | Eliminates internal voids, improves mechanical properties, fatigue resistance, and durability. | |
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. | Casing components, impellers, exhaust systems | Enhances strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance under extreme conditions. | |
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. | Valves, casings, combustion chambers | Provides robust joint integrity, high strength, and temperature resistance in critical parts. | |
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. | Nozzle rings, exhaust systems, turbine blades | Enhances heat resistance, extends component lifespan, and improves thermal efficiency. | |
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. | All superalloy components | Ensures high reliability and compliance with aerospace standards, detects hidden flaws early, and certifies parts for safety-critical applications. | |
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. | Valves, impellers, casings | Provides high-precision, complex geometries, and surface finish for critical components. | |
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. | Casings, turbine components | Enables precise, deep drilling in high-strength alloys for improved fluid dynamics and performance. | |
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. | Valve parts, turbine blades, impellers | Allows high-precision machining of complex shapes and tight tolerances in hard-to-machine alloys. |
