METHOD OF FORMING AN ABRASIVE NICKEL-BASED ALLOY ON A TURBINE BLADE TIP

A method of forming an abrasive nickel-based alloy on a turbine blade tip includes producing or obtaining a metal powder that is mixed with a carbon powder to form a carbon-enriched metal powder. The metal powder includes a refractory element. The method further includes bonding the carbon-enriched...

More Information
Summary:A method of forming an abrasive nickel-based alloy on a turbine blade tip includes producing or obtaining a metal powder that is mixed with a carbon powder to form a carbon-enriched metal powder. The metal powder includes a refractory element. The method further includes bonding the carbon-enriched metal powder to the turbine blade tip. The step of bonding includes raising the temperature of the carbon-enriched metal powder past its melting point, thereby causing the carbon to combine with the refractory elements to form abrasive carbide particles.
