摘要:
A combination of sintering, plasma arc spraying, hot isostatic pressing and chemical milling is used to form an abrasive surface on an article. Alumina coated silicon carbide particulates are clad with nickel and sinter bonded to the surface of a superalloy turbine blade tip. An impermeable layer of plasma arc sprayed superalloy matrix is deposited over the particulates and then has its inherent voids eliminated by hot isostatic pressing. The abrasive material so formed on the surface is then machined to expose the particulates. Next, a portion of the matrix is removed so that the machined particulates project into space and are thus best enabled to interact with abradable ceramic air seals in a gas turbine engine. The ceramic particulates are sized so they are larger than the finished thickness of the abrasive and they have small aspect ratios. Thus, a high density spacing can be achieved while at the same time it is insured that matrix adequately surrounds the particles and holds them in place during use.

An engineered ceramic component for the leading edge of a rotor blade provides enhanced erosion protection therefor. In one embodiment, the engineered ceramic component includes a strain isolator member, an aerodynamic ceramic member, a first adhesive bond layer, and a second adhesive bond layer. The strain isolator member, which is operative to minimize strain transfer between the rotor blade infrastructure and the aerodynamic ceramic member, is configured so that inner mold line surface thereof is complementary to outer mold line surface of the rotor blade infrastructure. The aerodynamic ceramic member, which is operative to provide enhanced erosion protection for the respective leading edge of the rotor blade, is configured so that the outer mold line surface thereof defines the aerodynamic configuration of the respective leading edge and the inner mold line surface is complementary to the outer mold line surface of the strain isolator member. The aerodynamic ceramic member is fabricated from an engineered ceramic material, which are defined in the present context as ceramic materials having a hardness greater than 1200 kg/mm.sup.2 and an average flexural strength equal to or greater than 40 ksi. The first adhesive bond layer is operative to bond the strain isolator member to the rotor blade infrastructure and the second adhesive bond layer is operative to bond the aerodynamic ceramic member to the strain isolator member. In another embodiment, the engineered ceramic member includes the aerodynamic ceramic member described hereinabove and a thick adhesive layer. The thick adhesive layer is operative to minimize strain transfer between the rotor blade infrastructure and the aerodynamic ceramic member and to bond the aerodynamic ceramic member in combination with the rotor blade infrastructure.
