Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing an airfoil. The method includes establishing an Argon (Ar)-free environment, providing a bed within the Argon free environment, providing a set of data instructions for manufacturing the airfoil, and providing a powdered Nickel (Ni)-based alloy on the bed. In one example, the powdered Nickel (Ni)-based alloy consists essentially of about 4.8 wt. % Iron (Fe), about 21 wt. % Chromium (Cr), about 8.6 wt. % Molybdenum (Mo), about 0.07 wt. % Titanium (Ti), about 0.40% Aluminum (Al), about 5.01 wt. % Niobium (Nb), about 0.03 wt. % Carbon (C), about 0.14 wt. % Silicon (Si), and a balance Nickel (Ni). The method further includes fusing the powdered Nickel (Ni)-based alloy with an electron beam with reference to the data instructions to form the airfoil.
