Test characteristics of a welded rotor in a 36,000-rpm Lundell alternator

Two four-pole Lundell-type rotors consisting of magnetic and nonmagnetic materials were fabricated by weld-depositing Inconel 625 between two sections of AISI 4617 steel. The rotors had a major diameter of 8.28 cm (3.26 in.). Saturation curves for load and no-load conditions with one of the rotors installed in a 1200-Hz Brayton-cycle research alternator are presented. The other identical rotor was spin-tested to a speed of 63,000 rmp, which was equal to 175 percent of the rated speed.

Joining porous components to solid metal structures

Process for joining porous metal material to solid metal structure without cracking or blockage of porous component is described. Procedures of electron beam welding and electroforming are discussed. Illustration of microstructure resulting from process is included.

Low-cost high-temperature brazing material

Commercially available nickel-copper wire containing 6 and 12 percent nickel is used in high temperature furnace brazing of rocket engine parts. Brazed joints have properties comparable to or better than those brazed with more expensive materials, and cost savings are substantial.

Electron beam selectively seals porous metal filters

Electron beam welding selectively seals the outer surfaces of porous metal filters and impedances used in fluid flow systems. The outer surface can be sealed by melting a thin outer layer of the porous material with an electron beam so that the melted material fills all surface pores.
