Abstract
A process of fabricating a shield, a process of preparing a component, and an erosion shield are disclosed. The process of fabricating the shield includes forming a near-net shape shield. The near-net shape shield includes a nickel-based layer and an erosion-resistant alloy layer. The nickel-based layer is configured to facilitate secure attachment of the near-net shaped to a component. The process of preparing the component includes securing a near-net shape shield to a substrate of a component.
Claims20
A process of fabricating a shield, the process comprising:
- forming a near-net shape shield;
- wherein the near-net shape shield includes a nickel-based layer and an erosion-resistant alloy layer;
- wherein the nickel-based layer is configured to facilitate secure attachment of the near-net shaped shield to a component.
A process of preparing a component, the process comprising:
- securing a near-net shape shield to a substrate of a component;
- wherein the near-net shape shield comprises a nickel-based layer and an erosion-resistant alloy layer positioned at least partially on the nickel-based layer.
A near-net shape shield, comprising:
- a nickel-based layer;
- and
- an erosion-resistant alloy layer positioned at least partially on the nickel-base layer;
- wherein the near-net shape shield is configured to be positioned on a turbine component.
