Engine turbine components are made of high temperature resistant materials, typically nickel- or cobalt-based superalloys. During service, turbine parts can become damaged resulting in engine operation deficiencies and potential damage to subjacent components. High strength superalloy component manufacture and repair involves the usage of complex multicomponent alloy systems. This stems from the need to match alloy compositions, and for good weldability and mechanical properties. To date, there is a lack of knowledge and models addressing some of the key fundamental phenomenon involved during fabrication for such multicomponent systems. This explains why the current approaches to production are developed from a combination of industrial experience and know how, and costly and time-consuming trial and error approach. This proposal is designed to address the existing knowledge gaps for multicomponent alloy systems, to permit the development of a more rigorous and systematic approach for the design and optimisation of high temperature performance Additive Manufacturing-specific alloys and associated processing parameters. Liburdi Turbine Services (LTS), a division of Liburdi Engineering (Ontario), is the world leader in turbine MRO and turbine blade repair. They see this research as an avenue to maintaining their competitiveness and technological leadership by gaining a fundamental understanding combined with a multicomponent modeling toolkit. In this work, a better understanding of the relationships linking the melting point depressant concentration, and the evolving properties of the liquid as a function of soaking time during the heat treatment for two multicomponent superalloy systems (R142 and RN5) will be provided. Also, the possibility of using the exact powder blend composition, but under the framework of a homogeneous powder feedstock to be used in Laser Powder Bed Fusion and Direct Energy Deposition methods will be evaluated. Success in this objective would allow simplified in-situ repair, without the risks of compositional variation.

发动机涡轮部件由耐高温材料制成，通常是镍基或钴基高温合金。在维修过程中，涡轮机部件可能会损坏，导致发动机运行缺陷并对下方部件造成潜在损坏。高强度高温合金部件的制造和修复涉及复杂的多组分合金系统的使用。这是因为需要匹配合金成分以及良好的可焊性和机械性能。迄今为止，缺乏解决此类多组件系统制造过程中涉及的一些关键基本现象的知识和模型。这就解释了为什么当前的生产方法是结合工业经验和专业知识以及昂贵且耗时的试错方法而开发的。该提案旨在解决多组分合金系统现有的知识差距，以便开发更严格和系统的方法来设计和优化高温性能增材制造专用合金和相关的加工参数。 Liburdi Turbine Services (LTS) 是 Liburdi Engineering（安大略省）的一个部门，是涡轮机 MRO 和涡轮叶片维修领域的全球领导者。他们认为这项研究是通过获得基本理解并结合多组件建模工具包来保持竞争力和技术领先地位的途径。在这项工作中，将更好地理解两种多组分高温合金系统（R142 和 RN5）的热处理过程中熔点抑制剂浓度和液体随浸泡时间变化的特性之间的关系。此外，还将评估在激光粉末床熔融和直接能量沉积方法中使用的均质粉末原料框架下使用精确粉末混合物成分的可能性。这一目标的成功将允许简化原位修复，而不存在成分变化的风险。
