Abstract:
The present invention provides a Cr-rich cathodic arc coating, an article in turbine blade coated with the chromizing over cathodic arc coating, and a method to produce the coating thereof. The Cr-rich cathodic arc coating in the present invention comprises a cathodic arc coating and a diffusion coating deposited atop the cathodic arc coating to enforce hot corrosion resistance. The hardware coated with the chromizing over cathodic arc coating in the present invention is reinforced with superior-hot corrosion resistance. The present invention further provides a novel method for producing the chromizing over cathodic arc coating by re-sequencing coating deposition order. The method in the present invention is efficient and cost-reducing by eliminating some operations, e.g., DHT and peening, between the cathodic arc coating and the diffusion coating. The hot corrosion resistance in the present invention results from the high Cr content in the surface of the coating.
Abstract:
A process includes applying a slurry to a surface of a metallic article to produce a slurry film on the surface. The slurry is composed of a liquid carrier, chromium and aluminum, and an agent that is reactive with the chromium and aluminum to form intermediary compounds. The article and slurry film are then thermally treated at an activation temperature at which the agent reacts with the chromium and aluminum to form the intermediary compounds. The intermediary compounds deposit the chromium and aluminum on the surface. The thermal treating also diffuses the chromium and aluminum into a sub-surface region of the article such that the sub-surface region becomes enriched with chromium and aluminum.
Abstract:
A process for coating a gas turbine engine disk comprises placing the disk having an outer surface into a chamber, the chamber configured to perform atomic layer deposition; injecting a first reactant into the chamber; forming a first monolayer gas thin film on the outer surface; removing the first reactant from the chamber; injecting a second reactant into the chamber; reacting second reactant with the first monolayer gas thin film; removing the second reactant from the chamber; and forming a protective barrier coating on the outer surface.
Abstract:
A component includes a diffusion coating comprising an inter-diffusion zone between the diffusion coating and a substrate and a non-metallic inclusions zone adjacent to an outer surface of the diffusion coating. A method of coating a component includes applying an aluminizing slurry to a localized area of a component and applying a chromizing slurry to the localized area of the component subsequent to heat treating the aluminizing slurry.
Abstract:
A method for depositing a coating of a source material onto a panel is disclosed. The method includes providing a cathodic arc, the cathodic arc including a target surface, the target surface disposed along a target deposition axis and able to emit the source material as a generally cloud of source material vapor and a generally conical stream of liquid particles of the source material. The method further includes positioning the panel relative to the target surface based on a deposition angle, the deposition angle being between the target surface and an outer limit of the generally conical stream of liquid particles o the source material. The method may further include emitting the source material from the target surface as the generally conical cloud of source material vapor and coating the edge with the cloud of source material vapor to provide an edge coating.
