Grain Boundary Engineered (GBE) alloys exhibit excellent properties that result from a high population of ordered grain boundaries. GBE is a thermo-mechanical process that can be incorporated into existing manufacturing production lines. GBE Bulk Processing GBE is a thermomechanical bulk metal processing technique for superalloys which improves their fatigue, creep, and corrosion-resistance at high temperatures. Can be applied to stock materials or during forging steps Surface Treatment The GBEST process can also be applied on the surface of a near finished component to impart fatigue and corrosion-resistance. Improve the Performance of Nickel-based Superalloys in: - Fatigue Resistance - High Temperature Creep Resistance - Sulfidation Rresistance - Weldability - Intergranular Corrosion & Cracking Resistance
