摘要:
A surface of an article is protected by coating the surface with a silicon-containing coating by preparing a coating mixture of silicon, a halide activator, and an oxide powder, positioning the surface of the article in gaseous communication with the coating mixture, and heating the surface of the article and the coating mixture to a coating temperature of from about 1150° F. to about 1500° F. The article is preferably a component of a gas turbine engine made of a nickel-base superalloy.
摘要:
The present invention is process for forming diffusion aluminide coatings on an uncoated surface of a substrate, without interdiffusing a sufficient amount of aluminum into a coating layer to adversely affect the coating growth potential and mechanical properties of said coating layer. A metal substrate is provided comprising an external surface and an internal passage therein defined by an internal surface, at least a portion of the external surface of the substrate being coated with a coating layer selected from the group consisting of β-NiAl-base, MCrAlX, a line-of-sight diffusion aluminide, a non-line-of-sight diffusion aluminide, a pack diffusion aluminide, and a slurry diffusion aluminide on said substrate. The external surface of the substrate is cleaned. The metal substrate is subjected to a aluminum vapor phase deposition process performed using a fluorine-containing activator selected from the group consisting of AlF3, CrF3, NH4F, and combinations thereof, at a rate in the range of about 0.036 mols of fluorine per ft3/hr of transport gas to about 0.18 mols of fluorine per ft3/hr of transport gas, at a temperature in the range of about 1350° F. (730° C.) to about 1925° F. (1050° C.), using a transport gas selected from the group consisting of argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and combinations thereof, the transport gas being provided at a flow rate in the range of about 20 ft3/hr to about 120 ft3/hr for a period of time in the range of about 2 hours to about 10 hours. The substrate is then cooled. The present invention is also a superalloy article coated with a diffusion aluminide layer using the diffusion aluminide coating process of the present invention.

摘要:
A method for preparing a protected article includes the steps of furnishing an article to be protected, wherein the article is a component of a gas turbine engine, thereafter depositing a precious-metal-containing layer onto the article, and thereafter depositing an aluminum-containing layer by vapor-phase aluminiding onto the article overlying the precious-metal-containing layer from an aluminum vapor source that includes a fluoride. The method further includes thereafter heating the article with the aluminum-containing layer deposited thereon in an atmosphere having at least 5 percent by volume hydrogen gas, and thereafter depositing a ceramic layer overlying the aluminum-containing layer.
