Nanostructured ferritic alloy components and related articles
An article, for example a turbomachinery article is presented. The article includes a weldable first component having a base portion and a flange portion. The flange portion is outwardly projecting normal to a surface of the base portion; and is joined with the base portion by a solid state joint. The base portion comprises a nanostructured ferritic alloy; and the flange portion comprises a steel substantially free of oxide nanofeatures. The first component is joined to a second component through the flange portion of the first component by a weld joint.
1. An article comprising:
a first component having a circular base portion extending from an inner periphery to an outer periphery, and a circular flange portion concentric to the circular base portion and is outwardly projecting normal to a surface between the inner periphery and the outer periphery of the circular base portion, wherein the circular base portion comprises a nanostructured ferritic alloy and the circular flange portion comprises a steel substantially free of oxide nanofeatures, and wherein the circular flange portion is joined with the circular base portion by a solid state joint; and
a second component that is joined with the flange portion of the first component by a weld joint.
2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the nanostructured ferritic alloy comprises a metal matrix and oxide nanofeatures dispersed within the metal matrix.
3. The article of claim 2 , wherein the metal matrix comprises iron, chromium, cobalt, tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, or a combination thereof.
4. The article of claim 2 , wherein the metal matrix comprises a steel selected from ferritic steel, martensitic steel, austenitic steel, duplex steel and precipitation hardened steel.
5. The article of claim 2 , wherein the oxide nanofeatures comprises yttrium, zirconium, silicon, titanium, hafnium, or a combination thereof.
6. The article of claim 2 , wherein the oxide nanofeatures comprises particles of a median size less than about 20 nanometers.
7. The article of claim 1 , wherein the flange portion comprises ferritic steel, martensitic steel, austenitic steel, duplex steel or precipitation hardened steel.
8. The article of claim 1 , wherein the first component comprises a turhomachinery component selected one or more of a shaft, a wheel, a spacer and an engine disk.
9. The article of claim 1 , wherein the second component comprises a metallic material.
10. The article of claim 9 , wherein the metallic material comprises a steel, a nickel based super alloy, or a nanostructured ferritic alloy.
11. The article of claim 1 , wherein the second component comprises a turbomachinery component selected one or more from a shaft, a wheel, a spacer and an engine disk.
