Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for preventing powder depletion/contamination during a consolidation process provides a can for holding a powdered material; the can having an interior wall; a protective layer is positioned intermediate the powdered material and the interior wall utilizing a sol-gel process utilizing monodisperse nanopowders; and the protective layer being formed from a material selected from the group consisting of nickel alloys, chrome alloys, and combinations thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for preventing powder depletion/contamination during a consolidation process, said method comprising the steps of: providing a can having an inner wall; lining said inner wall of said can with a protective layer formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a nickel alloy, a chrome alloy, and combinations thereof; wherein said lining comprises forming said lining on said inner wall using a sol-gel process utilizing monodisperse nanopowders; placing a powdered nickel based superalloy material in said can so that said powdered nickel based superalloy material is in contact with said protective layer; and subjecting said can with said powdered nickel based superalloy material and said protective layer to a consolidation process. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein said can providing step comprises providing a can formed from a steel material. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said powdered material placing step comprises placing a powdered nickel based superalloy material in said can. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said lining step comprises lining said inner wall with a nickel alloy. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said lining step comprises lining said inner wall with a chrome alloy.
