Abstract Near net shape spray forming of components significantly simplifies and reduces cost of fabricating some structures. Material utilization is very high, and laborious machining can be avoided. As-spray formed components have been tested and found to perform adequately. However, improvements in alloying, thermal treatment and coating have been demonstrated to add increased performance to spray formed components. In fabricating tungsten components alloying additions of rhenium, nickel or iron have made significant increases in material strength and ductility. Thermal treatments such as heat treating and HIPing change and densify the microstructures. Coating the internal and external surfaces of components improves environmental compatibility. Increased performance of plasma spray formed refractory metal components is presented.

Abstract Nickelvac K-500 is a nickel-copper alloy with age-hardening properties imparted by alloying additions of aluminum and titanium. The alloy is characterized by excellent corrosion resistance in an extensive range of natural and chemical environments, excellent resistance to chloride-ion stress-corrosion cracking, and very high strength and hardness. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, and tensile properties. It also includes information on high temperature performance and corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ni-595.

The microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-21 wt% Si components fabricated by plasma spray forming are analyzed. The microstructure of the plasma spry formed component showed a homogeneous distribution of fine Si particles embedded in the Al matrix. The grain size of α-Al varied between 200 to 500 nm and the size of the Si particles was about 50 to 100 nm in the plasma spray formed component. The room temperature tensile strength of the plasma spray formed component was 215 MPa with 0.5 % elongation, while for cast material, it was 130 MPa. Despite the porosities, the ultra-fine microstructure and homogeneous distribution of Si particles embedded in matrix are the foundation of the increased strength of the plasma spry formed component.

AbstractPlasma-spray forming has been used to fabricate thick-wall tubes of Mosi2 and Mosi2 containing concentric layers of A12O3. This process is being investigated as a potential fabrication method for producing tubular components of Mosi2 and Mosi2 composites for use in high temperature fuel-burner applications. Results will be reported on the spray forming method used to produce tubes of various sizes. The room temperature strength of pure Mosi2 tubes in the as-deposited condition, and after heat-treating at 1500 °C for 2 hours in vacuum, will also be reported. The strength of plasma sprayed Mosi2 tubes were measured via diametral compression of 0-ring and C-ring sections in air at room temperature. Qualification of the strength distribution was based on Weibull statistical theory.

AbstractMolybdenum disilicide and its composites have been fabricated by a number of researchers in recent years through vacuum plasma spray (VPS) forming. VPS is capable of producing dense, fine grained deposits of these high temperature intermetallics and is a promising technique for near-net-shape manufacturing. Reviewed here is VPS forming of high temperature silicide intermetallics, principally Mosi2 and its composites. A discussion will be given of the processing-structure-properties relationship of the spray formed silicide.
