Heat treatment of hot isostatically processed IN-738 investment castings
J. Beddoes,W. Wallace +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an examination of the microstructures of hot isostatically processed IN-738 turbine blades was carried out and areas of void closure were found to be atypical of the bulk microstructure.

Anti-fretting barrier
Lijue Xue,A.K. Koul,W. Wallace +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cold-worked low-friction metallic shim or a nonmetallic composite shim is bonded onto the surface of a component with a layer of adhesive to form an anti-fretting barrier.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Development of a damage tolerant microstructure for inconel 718 turbine disc material
TL;DR: A modified heat treatment for Inconel 718 has been developed in this article, which is a result of tailoring the microstructure to obtain the optimum combination of grain size, grain boundary structure and matrix precipitate morphology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser Gas Nitriding of Ti-6Al-4V Part 1: Optimization of the Process
TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-variable test method, known as the Orthogonal Array, was used to optimize the parameters for the laser gas nitriding process (LGNP) to avoid surface cracking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser Gas Nitriding of Ti-6Al-4V Part 2: Characteristics of Nitrided Layers
TL;DR: The characteristics of laser nitrided layers formed on Ti-6Al-4V are presented in this paper, where it has been determined that titanium nitride (TiN) is formed, which significantly increases the hardness of the Nitrided surfaces.
