<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an erosion resistant protective structure for turbine engine components. <P>SOLUTION: The erosion resistant protective structure comprises a shape memory alloy. The shape memory alloy includes nickel-titanium based alloys, indium-titanium based alloys, nickel-aluminum based alloys, nickel-gallium based alloys, copper based alloys, gold-cadmium based alloys, iron-platinum based alloys, iron-palladium based alloys, silver-cadmium based alloys, indium-cadmium based alloys, manganese-copper based alloys, ruthenium-niobium based alloys, ruthenium-tantalum based alloys, titanium based alloys, iron-based alloys, combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing alloys. Also, methods for forming the shape memory alloy onto the turbine component are disclosed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
