Method Of Inspecting A Metal Alloy Part For Incipient Melting

US Patent:
20080308959, Dec 18, 2008
Filed:
Feb 25, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/072189
Inventors:
Thomas A. Vetere - Bedford TX, US
Stephen M. Kurpaska - Newington CT, US
Edward R. Szela - West Springfield MA, US
John M. Robertson - Lake Spivey GA, US
Assignee:
United Technologies Corporation - Hartford CT
International Classification:
B29C 39/44
B05D 3/10
B05D 3/12
G01N 33/20
G01N 21/95
US Classification:
264 39, 264 401, 3562371
Abstract:
A method of inspecting a repaired metal alloy part to analyze a microstructure of the metal part includes placing a replicating material on a surface of the metal part to create an inverted replica of the microstructure. The replicating material is then removed from the surface. An image of the inverted replica on the replicating material is magnified in order to evaluate the microstructure for incipient melting and areas of boride concentration. This inspection method facilitates that evaluation without causing any destruction to the metal part.

Working A Vane Assembly For A Gas Turbine Engine

US Patent:
20130025123, Jan 31, 2013
Filed:
Jul 29, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/194127
Inventors:
Thomas A. Vetere - Bedford TX, US
Michael L. Miller - Euless TX, US
Assignee:
UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION - Hartford CT
International Classification:
B23P 6/00
B23P 17/00
US Classification:
29888, 298891
Abstract:
A method of working a vane assembly for a gas turbine engine involves a collar and an engine operated cooling baffle. The collar is connected to the cooling baffle and installed into the interior cavity of the vane assembly. A braze is applied to both a portion of the collar that interfaces with the cooling baffle and to a second portion of the collar that interfaces with the vane assembly. In one embodiment, the connection between the replacement collar and both the cooling baffle and vane assembly is accomplished by fitting the cooling baffle into the collar and by slipping a portion of the cooling baffle with a smaller cross-sectional area though the collar.
