Turbine blades need to be repaired to extend their product life, because they are used in highly heated centrifugal fields and often suffer damage such as cracks, chippings, and oxidation thinning. The objective of this study is to perform additive fabrication onto the thin end of a plate using wire and arc-based additive manufacturing and the conduct finish cutting to repair turbine blades made of Inconel 718. It was successfully demonstrated to fabricate a wall structure onto the thin end of a plate with a thickness of 1 to 5 mm with the aimed deposition width while maintaining a constant interlayer temperature. In addition, a finish cutting was conducted on the additionally fabricated wall structure to achieve the same thickness as the thin base plate. It was also shown that there was almost no uncut part on the additive wall surface.
Although vortex pinning in laser-ablated YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ films on (100) SrTiO 3 is dominated by threading dislocations Nature 399 439), many other natural pinning sites are present. To identify the contribution from twin planes, surface corrugations and point defects, we manipulate the relative densities of all defects by post-annealing films with various as-grown dislocation densities, n disl . While a universal magnetic field B dependence of the transport current density j s (B, T ) is observed (independently of n disl , temperature T and the annealing treatment), the defect structure changes considerably. Correlating the microstructure to j s (B, T ), it becomes clear that surface roughness, twins and point defects are not important at low magnetic fields compared to linear defect pinning. Transmission electron microscopy indicates that threading dislocations are not part of grain boundaries nor are they related to the twin domain structure. We conclude that j s (B, T ) is essentially determined by pinning along threading dislocations, naturally induced during the growth process. Even in high magnetic fields, where the vortex density outnumbers n disl , it appears that linear defects stabilize the vortex lattice by means of the vortex-vortex interaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
