    Abstract: Disclosed is a superalloy gas turbine engine component including a glass coating. The glass coating is configured for resistance to hot corrosion caused by molten salts of sodium, magnesium, vanadium, and/or sulfur dioxide. The glass coating includes a mixture of two or more metal oxides, which are preferably selected from: barium oxide, silicon oxide, strontium oxide, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, cobalt oxide, boron oxide, iron oxide, zirconium oxide, nickel oxide, and titanium oxide. The glass coating is in fully crystalline form and/or a mixture of crystalline and glass phases, and it has a coefficient of thermal expansion of from about 10 to about 18 μm/m-° C. The glass coating has a thickness over the superalloy gas turbine engine component of about 0.5 mils to about 10 mils.

    Abstract: Methods for depositing wear resistant NiW plating systems on metallic components are provided. In various embodiments, the method includes the step or process of preparing a NiW plating bath containing a particle suspension. The NiW plating bath is prepared by introducing wear resistant particles into the NiW plating path and adding at least one charged surfactant. The first type of wear resistant particles and the first charged surfactant may be contacted when introduced into the NiW plating bath or prior to introduction into the NiW plating bath. The at least one charged surfactant binds with the wear resistant particles to form a particle-surfactant complex. The wear resistant NiW plating system is then electrodeposited onto a surface of a component at least partially submerged in the NiW plating bath. The resulting wear resistant NiW plating system comprised of a NiW matrix in which the wear resistant particles are embedded.

    Abstract: A corrosion and wear-resistant brake disc is disclosed. The brake disc comprises a brake body having at least one braking surface, and a corrosion and wear-resistant coating electrodeposited on the braking surface. The corrosion and wear-resistant coating comprises a precipitation-hardened cobalt-phosphorus (CoP) alloy and exhibits a Vickers hardness of from about 900 to about 1050 HV. A method of preparing the brake disc is also disclosed, and comprises electrodepositing a cobalt-phosphorus (CoP) alloy onto at least one braking surface of a disc body to a thickness of at least about 150 μm to give a coated disc body. The method also comprises heat treating the coated disc body to precipitation harden the CoP alloy and give the corrosion and wear-resistant coating on the braking surface.
