Joining process and joined article

A joining process, comprising:

• positioning a turbine component having a base material;
• and
• friction joining a sintered brazing preform to the base material;
• wherein the sintered brazing preform forms a feature on the turbine component;
• wherein the base material has a composition, by weight, of between about 8.0% and about 8.7% Cr, between about 9% and about 10% Co, between about 5.25% and about 5.75% Al, up to about 0.9% Ti, between about 9.3% and about 9.7% W, up to about 0.6% Mo, between about 2.8% and about 3.3% Ta, between about 1.3% and about 1.7% Hf, up to about 0.1% C, up to about 0.02% Zr, up to about 0.02% B, up to about 0.2% Fe, up to about 0.06% Si, up to about 0.1% Mn, up to about 0.1% Cu, up to about 0.01% P, up to about 0.004% S, up to about 0.1% Nb, and the balance nickel;
• wherein the sintered brazing preform has a composition of, by weight, about 50% of a first metal alloy and 50% of a second metal alloy;
• wherein the first metal alloy has a composition, by weight, of between about 8.0% and about 8.7% Cr, between about 9% and about 10% Co, between about 5.25% and about 5.75% Al, up to about 0.9% Ti, between about 9.3% and about 9.7% W, up to about 0.6% Mo, between about 2.8% and about 3.3% Ta, between about 1.3% and about 1.7% Hf, up to about 0.1% C, up to about 0.02% Zr, up to about 0.02% B, up to about 0.2% Fe, up to about 0.06% Si, up to about 0.1% Mn, up to about 0.1% Cu, up to about 0.01% P, up to about 0.004% S, up to about 0.1% Nb, and the balance nickel;
• wherein the second metal alloy has a composition, by weight, of about 14% Cr, about 10% Co, about 3.5% Al, about 2.75% B, between about 2.5% and about 2.75% Ta, up to about 0.1% Y, and the balance nickel;
• wherein an interface region between the base material and the feature remains devoid of cracking when exposed to a temperature of between about 2000° F. and about 2100° F. for a duration of between about 90 minutes and about 150 minutes.
