Abstract
A tribological and creep resistant system configured to operate at temperatures in excess of 700° C. A seal body extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge. A first component contact surface is adjacent the leading edge and a second component contact surface is adjacent the trailing edge. The seal body is formed from a high entropy alloy.
Claims20
A tribological and creep resistant system configured to operate at temperatures in excess of 700° C., comprising:
- a seal body extending between a leading edge and a trailing edge including a first component contact surface adjacent the leading edge and a second component contact surface adjacent the trailing edge,
- wherein the seal body is formed from a high entropy alloy.
A method comprising:
- providing a powdered high entropy alloy;
- and
- forming the powdered high entropy alloy into a seal body with a heat source, wherein the seal body extends between a leading edge and a trailing edge and includes a first component contact surface adjacent the leading edge and a second component contact surface adjacent the trailing edge and is configured to operate at temperatures in excess of 700° C.
