High temperature and high strain rate properties of brazed honeycomb liner material Haynes 214

Abradable honeycomb sealing systems are essential for gas turbine efficiency. Experimental data on the rubbing performance of Haynes 214 metal sheets brazed with the nickel-chromium-silicon filler metal BNi-5 is presented. The brazing layer in the double foiled honeycomb sections turned out to have a major impact on rubbing behavior. Damage on the rotor was analyzed with a large chamber scanning electron microscope and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results demonstrate a significant influence of the brazing process on the mechanical properties, especially after exposure to 1000 °C. A hard aluminum nitride phase formed in the brazed metal sheets can cause severe damage to the rotor.
