    摘要: A process for casting and preparing an ingot of a beta-phase NiAl-based material, particularly for use in PVD coating processes. The method entails melting a nickel-aluminum composition having an aluminum content below that required for stoichiometric beta-phase NiAl intermetallic so as to form a melt that includes nickel and Ni3Al. Aluminum is then added to the melt, causing an exothermic reaction between nickel and aluminum as the melt equilibrium shifts from Ni3Al to NiAl. However, the aluminum is added at a rate sufficiently low to avoid a violent exothermic reaction. The addition of aluminum continues until sufficient aluminum has been added to the melt to yield a beta-phase NiAl-based material. The beta-phase NiAl-based material is then solidified to form an ingot, which is then heated and pressed to close porosity and homogenize the microstructure of the ingot.

    摘要: The present invention provides for a squealer tip to include some proportion of a highly oxidation-resistant material, and a method for casting same, such that if any environmental coating were removed, the tip would retain some increased level of environmental resistance. The oxidation-resistant material optionally may also be a high abrasion resistance material, such that recession of the tip due to rubbing against a stator would be reduced. In a preferred embodiment, an abrasion-resistant and/or oxidation-resistant material is placed and suitably anchored into the tip region of a wax precursor used to cast a turbine airfoil. During the casting operation, the abrasion-resistant and/or oxidation-resistant material is not completely melted. As the alloy used to form the majority of the turbine blade solidifies, the abrasion and/or oxidation resistant material is incorporated into the turbine airfoil by the solidification of the alloy around it.

    摘要: A method for applying substantially stoichiometric NiAl to the surface of a superalloy substrate. These coatings are applied to substrates subjected to high temperatures and thermal cycling by providing a powder of the substantially stoichiometric material with the desired minor additions of rare earth elements, Cr or Zr. The coatings are applied by a thermal spray process utilizing hydrogen as a fuel while generating a highly reducing flame. The thermal spray method melts the powder and directs it onto the surface of the turbine component that is to be coated. The powder size is carefully controlled to prevent oxidation of the powder while providing a controlled surface finish. The surface roughness of the bond coat is further mechanically worked to a predetermined surface finish prior to application of the ceramic thermal barrier layer by a PVD method. Thermal barrier systems applied using these carefully controlled predetermined parameters provide outstanding resistance to TBC spallation under conditions of high cyclic stresses.
