Nickel aluminide alloys with improved weldability

Patent Santella, Michael L [Knoxville, TN]; Goodwin, Gene M [Lenior City, TN]

Weldable nickel aluminide alloys which are essentially free, if not entirely free, of weld hot cracking are provided by employing zirconium concentrations in these alloys of greater than 2.6 wt. % or sufficient to provide a substantial presence of Ni--Zr eutectic phase in the weld so as to prevent weld hot cracking. Weld filler metals formed from these so modified nickel aluminide alloys provide for crack-free welds in previously known nickel aluminide alloys.

High-temperature corrosion-resistant iron-aluminide (FeAl) alloys exhibiting improved weldability

Patent Maziasz, Philip J [Oak Ridge, TN]; Goodwin, Gene M [Lenoir City, TN]; Liu, Chain T [Oak Ridge, TN]

This invention relates to improved corrosion-resistant iron-aluminide intermetallic alloys. The alloys of this invention comprise, in atomic percent, from about 30% to about 40% aluminum alloyed with from about 0.1% to about 0.5% carbon, no more than about 0.04% boron such that the atomic weight ratio of boron to carbon in the alloy is in the range of from about 0.01:1 to about 0.08:1, from about 0.01 to about 3.5% of one or more transition metals selected from Group IVB, VB, and VIB elements and the balance iron wherein the alloy exhibits improved resistance to hot cracking during welding.

Ordered iron aluminide alloys having an improved room-temperature ductility and method thereof

Patent Sikka, Vinod K [Clinton, TN]

A process is disclosed for improving the room temperature ductility and strength of iron aluminide intermetallic alloys. The process involves thermomechanically working an iron aluminide alloy by means which produce an elongated grain structure. The worked alloy is then heated at a temperature in the range of about 650.degree. C. to about 800.degree. C. to produce a B2-type crystal structure. The alloy is rapidly cooled in a moisture free atmosphere to retain the B2-type crystal structure at room temperature, thus providing an alloy having improved room temperature ductility and strength.

Filler metal alloy for welding cast nickel aluminide alloys

Patent Santella, Michael L [Knoxville, TN]; Sikka, Vinod K [Oak Ridge, TN]

A filler metal alloy used as a filler for welding east nickel aluminide alloys contains from about 15 to about 17 wt. % chromium, from about 4 to about 5 wt. % aluminum, equal to or less than about 1.5 wt. % molybdenum, from about 1 to about 4.5 wt. % zirconium, equal to or less than about 0.01 wt. % yttrium, equal to or less than about 0.01 wt. % boron and the balance nickel. The filler metal alloy is made by melting and casting techniques such as are melting the components of the filler metal alloy and eastmore » in copper chill molds.« less

Ductile filler metal alloys for welding nickel aluminide alloys

Patent Santella, Michael L [Knoxville, TN]; McNabb, Jeffrey D [Lenoir City, TN]; Sikka, Vinod K [Oak Ridge, TN]

Nickel aluminum alloys are welded utilizing a nickel based alloy containing zirconium but substantially free of titanium and niobium which reduces the tendency to crack.
