TECHNIQUES AND ASSEMBLIES FOR JOINING COMPONENTS
The disclosure describes example techniques and assemblies for joining a first component and a second component. The techniques may include positioning the first and second component adjacent to each other to define a joint region between adjacent portions of the first component and the second component, the joint region being coated with an adhesion resistant coating. The techniques may also include positioning a braze material in the joint region, heating the braze material to form an at least softened material, and cooling the at least softened material to form a mechanical interlock including the braze material in the joint region joining the first and second components. The braze material does not metallurgically bond to the joint surface.
Hot isostatic pressing system for the assembly of modular components usable in a turbine engine
A method (300) of using hot isostatic pressing to join metallic members that form a component in a gas turbine engine is disclosed. The method (300) may include applying (306) a surface treatment to the outer surfaces (14, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24) of first and second metallic members (12, 18) based on whether a mechanical or metallurgical joint for the component is desired. Additionally, the method (300) may include aligning (310) the outer surfaces (14, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24) of the first and second metallic members (12, 18) to create a sealed cavity, which encompasses the joint, between the first and second metallic members (12, 18). Once the outer surfaces (14, 15, 16, 20, 22, 24) are aligned, the method (300) may include subjecting (314) the members (12, 18) to hot isostatic pressing such that material from the first metallic member (12) flows into a recess (26) within the second metallic member (18) so as to join the first and second metallic members (12, 18) to form a consolidated component (10). The consolidated component (10) may then be machined and finished (316) for use in a turbine engine.

METHOD FOR PRODUCING METAL MEMBER
The method includes a step of preparing a first member made of a first metal and a second member made of a second metal having a smaller deformation resistance than the first metal, and a step of joining the first member and the second member. The step of joining includes a step of heating the first member and the second member by relatively rotating the first member and the second member, while pressing the first member and the second member against each other, without changing a relative positional relationship therebetween, and a step of cooling the first member and the second member heated, while being pressed against each other. In a first contact surface which is a surface of the first member coming into contact with the second member, a recess is formed so as to include a region intersecting the axis of rotation.
