Assignee:

Honeywell International Inc. - Morristown NJ

International Classification:

B23H 11/00
B23K 28/00

US Classification:

219 6915, 219136

Abstract:

A welding guide nozzle for precision weld positioning of a feedstock material in a welding system. The welding guide nozzle includes a nozzle structure defining a substantially cylindrical holding apparatus that tapers at one end to define a nozzle tip. The holding apparatus and the nozzle tip include concentric bores defined therein. An erosion resistant rod is disposed within the bore defined in the nozzle tip. The erosion resistant rod includes a bore defined therein into with the weld feedstock material is disposed. The erosion resistant material is formed of a high heat resistive material thereby permitting positioning in close proximity to a heat source.

277589

Abstract:

A sealing system includes two fittings, a compliant member, and a spring. The first fitting has two ends, a first cavity, and a first channel. The first channel extends from the first end to the first cavity, which is formed in the second end radially inwardly from an outer surface of the first fitting. The second fitting is disposed in the first cavity and has two ends, a second cavity, and a second channel. The first end is disposed in the first cavity, the second cavity is formed in the first end of the second fitting, and the second channel extends from the second cavity to the second end. The compliant member is disposed in the second cavity. The spring is disposed in the second cavity against the compliant member.

B23K 1/00

Abstract:

Additive manufacturing techniques are used to achieve customized preforms for repair or manufacture of turbomachinery. A method of modifying a section of a product includes forming, a preform set to fit the section. A base material is selected with properties desired for the modification of the section. A binder is selected that vaporizes at a temperature below a melting point of the base material. The preform set is built by the selective application of the binder to the base material to achieve design dimensions of the section when the preform is joined to the section. The section is prepared for effecting the extent of modification and the preform is positioned on the section. The section and the preform are heated to substantially eliminate the binder from the preform and then thermally processed to harden the preform and to bond the preform to the section.

Abstract:

A flexible, thermal-isolating tube includes a first fluid flow channel portion having a dual-walled configuration, a second fluid flow channel portion having a dual-walled configuration, and a bellows disposed between and coupled to each of the first and second fluid flow channel portions. The flexible, thermal-isolating tube, including each of the first and second fluid flow channel portions, and the bellows, is configured as a unitary structure. The flexible, thermal-isolating tube is manufactured using an additive manufacturing process. The flexible, thermal-isolating tube is disposed within a gas turbine engine

Abstract:

Devices (herein “powder spreadability inspection tools”) and methods are provided for evaluating the spreadability of powders utilized in additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In embodiments, the powder spreadability inspection tool includes a powder support surface on which a visual inspection area is provided, a spreader system including a spreader implement, and a powder dispenser. The spreader implement is movable relative to the powder support surface along a path, which extends or passes over the visual inspection area. The powder dispenser is operable to dispense a premeasured or metered volume of an AM powder sample onto the powder support surface ahead of the spreader implement. As the spreader implement moves along the path relative to the powder support surface, the spreader implement spreads a layer of the metered powder sample across the visual inspection area to allow a visual evaluation of the spreadability of the AM powder.

Abstract:

Methods for manufacturing an article include providing a three-dimensional computer model of the article and providing a metal alloy in powdered form. The metal alloy is a titanium aluminide alloy. The powdered form includes a grain size range of about 5 to about 20 microns and a d50 grain size average of about 10 to about 14 microns. The methods further include, at a binder jet printing apparatus, supplying the metal alloy and loading the three-dimensional model, and, using the binder jet printing apparatus, manufacturing the article in accordance with the loaded three-dimensional model in a layer-by-layer manner with the supplied metal alloy. A liquid binder is applied at each layer, and each layer has a thickness of about 10 to about 150 microns. The methods avoid remelting of the metal alloy and avoid metal alloy cooling rates of greater than about 100 F. per minute.
