摘要:
In the diffusion coating of aluminum onto brazed metal, the penetration of the aluminum into the brazing is reduced by conducting the diffusion coating with hydrated aluminum chloride, bromide or iodide as energizer, with the energizer preferably kept out of contact with the work being coated until the energizer volatilizes. This is particularly suited for aluminizing chromium-containing surfaces. Chromium diffusion coatings are less apt to form undesirable oxide inclusions when the diffusion coating is from a pack containing at least about 3% Ni3Al. Also the formation of undesirable alpha-chromium is reduced when the pack diffusion is carried out with a retort effectively not over 5 inches in height. Pack aluminizing where the aluminizing is inhibited by the presence of chromium in the pack makes a very effective top coating over platinum plated or platinum coated nickel-base superalloys. Aluminized nickel can also have it aluminum attacked and at least partially removed with aqueous caustic to leave a very highly active catalytic surface. Pack diffusion can also be arranged to simultaneously provide different coatings in different locations by using different pack compositions in those locations. An aluminizing pack containing a large amount of chromium provides a thinner aluminized case than an aluminizing pack containing less chromium and some silicon. Also a cobalt-chromium pack deposits essentially a chromized case when energized with a chloride, but deposits large amounts of cobalt along with chromium when energized with an iodide.

RICH CHROMIUM DIFFUSION COATING ON TD NICKEL OR TD NICHROME IS OBTAINED IN ONE STEP BY EMBEDDING WORK IN CHROMIUM DIFFUSION COATING PACK CONTAINING NICKEL WITH OR WITHOUT SOME COBALT, AND HELD IN UNSEALED RETORT CUP AT LEAST 15 INCHES HIGH. MAGNESIUM HALIDE IS HELPFUL TO HAVE IN THE PACK AND PACK CAN ALSO CONTAIN METALLIC IRON TO REDUCE COATING TEMPERATURE. MASKING IS ARRANGED BY COVERING THE SITES TO BE MASKED WITH A LAYER OF A MIXTURE OF NICKEL POWDER AND INERT FILLER. FOR BETTER HIGH TEMPERATURE OXIDATION RESISTANCE THE CHROMIUM-RUCH COATING IS COVERED BY AN ALUMINUM DIFFUSION COATING FROM A SIMPLE ALUMINUM DIFFUSION PACK OR ONE THAT HAS THE ALUMINUM MIXED WITH CHROMIUM. LOW TEMPERATURE ALUMINUM DIFFUSION IS MORE UNIFORM WHEN PACK ENERGIZER IS ALUMINUM CHLORIDE OR OTHER MATERIAL THAT DOES NOT GENERATE NITROGEN. A MANGANESE-CONTAINING ALUMINIZING PACK GIVES BETTER PROTECTION THAN A SIMPLE ALUMINIZING PACK, PARTICULARLY AGAINST MARINE CORROSION, AND WHEN THERE IS A CONVERSION COATING APPLIED OVER THE ALUMINIZING. CONVERSION COATING MIXTURE WETS ALUMINIZED FERROUS SURFACE BETTER WHEN THE BLACK IS THEN REMOVED WITH THE HELP OF NITRIC ACID. ALUMINIZED SUPERALLOY CAN BE HEATED IN AIR TO WHITEN IT, THEN CLEANED TO GIVE PRODUCT HAVING MORE ADHERENT CASE. ALSO ADDING SOME LANTHANUM OR YTTRIUM TO SUPERALLOY LIKE WI 52 GIVES BETTER HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE.
摘要:
Rich chromium diffusion coating on dispersion-strengthened nickel or nichrome is obtained in one step by embedding work in chromium diffusion coating pack containing nickel with or without some cobalt, and held in unsealed retort cup at least 15 inches high. Pack can also contain metallic iron to reduce coating temperature. Masking is arranged by covering the sites to be masked with a layer of a mixture of nickel powder and inert filler. For better high temperature oxidation resistance the chromium-rich coating is covered by an aluminum diffusion coating from a simple aluminum diffusion pack or one that has the aluminum mixed with chromium. Low temperature aluminum diffusion is more uniform when pack energizer is aluminum chloride or other material that does not generate nitrogen, and gives good protection against marine corrosion of steels, and particularly when there is a chromate-type coating applied over the aluminizing. Highly effective chromate-type coating mixture consists essentially of aqueous solution of chromic and phosphoric acid also containing magnesium salts of said acids and dispersed polytetrafluoroethylene particles. Aluminized superalloy can be heated in air to whiten it, then cleaned to give product having more ductile case. Such coated superalloy can also be stripped of coating by aqueous HNO3-HF-CrO3 bath.
摘要:
An improved stripping process for removing as produced aluminide coatings and exposed aluminide coatings from cobalt base and nickel base superalloys, using 1/2 to 5 percent of hydrofluoric acid or an acid fluoride having at least one mole of hydrofluoric acid, 3 to 20 percent of nitric acid and water, permissibly including a low foaming or nonfoaming wetting agent. The temperature of treatment is 50* to 115* F., preferably 60* to 100* F. for a time of at least 15 minutes. The treating solution can incorporate a thickening agent and a solubilizing agent for the thickening agent so as to produce a paste, and the paste can be applied locally for selective stripping.
摘要:
Workpieces are diffusion coated by packing them singly in individual snugly fitting retorts with a diffusion coating pack, heating the packed retorts to diffusion coating temperature for a time adequate to effect the desired coating, and then rapidly cooling the retorts. The small amount of pack surrounding the workpiece permits very rapid cooling without the need to apply a cooling liquid to these small retorts, and entire coating operation is accordingly well suited for coating nickel-base superalloys that should before use be subjected to solution heat treatment and rapid cooling with or without subsequent aging. The diffusion coating can then be conducted under solution heat treating conditions. Tubular retorts can be used.
