Restoring of strength and wear resistance of a metal matrix composite (mmc)

TLDR
In this paper, a method and an arrangement for restoring strength and wear resistant of a metallic matrix ceramic (MMC) comprising a metallic binder and ceramic filler (3) particles, which has been exposed for long term high temperature and pressure cycling, for example in a gas exhaust nozzle (6), whereby micro cracks are developed in the outer layer (5) of the MMC.
Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for restoring strength and wear resistant of a metallic matrix ceramic (1) comprising a metallic binder (2) and ceramic filler (3) particles, which metallic matrix ceramic (1) has been exposed for long term high temperature and pressure cycling, for example in a gas exhaust nozzle (6), whereby micro cracks (4) are developed in the outer layer (5) of the metallic binder (2) According to the invention this is achieved by virtue of the fact that the outer layer (5) of the metallic binder (2), partly or fully, is removed from the MMC part (1) by a chemical operation, where after the outer layer (5) is compressed by a compression operation for achieving a dense outer layer (5), in which filler (3) particles are close to each other

Repair and fabrication of combustion turbine components by spark plasma sintering

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of consolidating or repairing turbine component parts, such as turbine blades, requires providing a turbine component part, establishing a contact pressure between the opposing surfaces, where, optionally, fine particles may be present between such surfaces, and then generating an electrical field to provide heat and applying pressure on the opposing surface, resulting in high temperature spark plasma sintering to provide a consolidated turbine blade.
