Abstract:
A process of treating a coated article and a treated article are disclosed. The process includes providing an article having a MCrAlY coating, applying an aluminide treatment onto the MCrAlY coating to form a treated MCrAlY coating, and outwardly forming β-phase material from the MCrAlY coating into the treatment. The applying is selected from the group consisting of soaking, spraying, brushing, dipping, pouring, pack cementation, vapor deposition, and combinations thereof. The treated article includes a substrate and a treated MCrAlY coating positioned on at least a portion of the substrate. The treated MCrAlY coating includes a β-phase aluminide in a spray-applied, brush-applied, pour-applied, dip-applied, pack cement-applied, vapor deposit-applied, or soaking-applied treatment.
Abstract:
Methods of reducing an initial cross-sectional area of a hole in a component to a predetermined cross-sectional area including preparing a composition comprising at least an aluminum alloy with a melting temperature higher than aluminum, applying the composition to an interior surface of the hole, and then heating the component to cause a metal within the component to diffuse from the component into the composition and react with the aluminum alloy in the composition to form a coating on the interior surface of the hole. The heating step is performed to selectively modify the initial cross-sectional area of the hole and thereby directly attain the predetermined cross-sectional area thereof.
