==AMORPHOUS DUCTILE BRAZE ALLOY COMPOSITIONS, AND RELATED METHODS AND ARTICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18454365 titled 'AMORPHOUS DUCTILE BRAZE ALLOY COMPOSITIONS, AND RELATED METHODS AND ARTICLES

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a nickel-based braze alloy composition that does not contain silicon. It includes nickel, boron (B) in a weight percentage of about 1% to 5%, and germanium (Ge) in a weight percentage of about 1% to 20%. The abstract also mentions the use of this composition to fill cracks or voids in superalloy articles, along with methods for filling such gaps. The abstract further mentions related articles of manufacture and brazing processes for joining metal components.

* Nickel-based braze alloy composition
* Contains nickel, boron (B), and germanium (Ge)
* No silicon present in the composition
* Can be used to fill cracks or voids in superalloy articles
* Methods for filling gaps with the composition are described
* Related articles of manufacture and brazing processes are disclosed

== Potential Applications ==
* Repairing cracks or voids in superalloy articles
* Joining metal components through brazing processes

== Problems Solved ==
* Provides a nickel-based braze alloy composition without silicon
* Offers a solution for filling cracks or voids in superalloy articles

== Benefits ==
* Improved performance and properties compared to silicon-containing braze alloys
* Enables effective repair and joining of metal components


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A nickel-based braze alloy composition is described, including nickel, about 1 weight % to about 5 weight % boron (B); and about 1 weight % to about 20 weight % germanium (Ge). The composition is free of any silicon. Superalloy articles that contains a crack or other type of void or gap filled with the nickel-based braze alloy composition are also described, along with methods for filling such a gap. Related articles of manufacture and brazing processes to join metal components are also disclosed.
