摘要:
Manufacture of superalloy component wherein the component is blasted with abrasive grit particles at one or more stages during the manufacture, is treated with a chemical grit removal medium effective to dissolve and remove abrasive grit particles from the surface of the component without degradation of the component (substrate), and then is coated with a protective coating such that entrapped grit particles are substantially reduced or eliminated from the coating.
摘要:
A gas turbine engine component having a thermal barrier coating is immersed in an inorganic hydroxide bath having a high concentration of alkali or alkaline earth hydroxide with the bath at ambient (atmospheric) pressure and elevated temperature for a time sufficient to effect rapid detachment of the thermal barrier coating for removal from the substrate. The component then optionally can be immersed in a water bath to remove any remaining thermal barrier coating. The thermal barrier coating is removed without detectable damage to the substrate or any bondcoat present thereon.

Method of forming an outwardly grown aluminide diffusion coating on a superalloy substrate disposed in a coating retort including the steps of heating the substrate to a temperature of 900 to 1200 degrees C., flowing a coating gas comprising aluminum trichloride and a carrier gas through the coating retort at a flow rate of the coating gas of about 100 to about 450 standard cubic feet per hour, providing a concentration of aluminum trichloride in the retort of less than 1.4% by volume of the coating gas, and providing a total pressure of the coating gas in the coating retort of about 100 to about 450 Torr.
摘要:
A chemical cleaning method for cleaning an internal passage of an engine-run gas turbine engine airfoil wherein the airfoil is immersed in an inorganic hydroxide medium at superambient temperature and atmospheric pressure for a short time to remove accumulated oxides and dirt from the internal passage. The hydroxide medium can comprise molten KOH and immersion times of the engine-run airfoil not exceeding 10 minutes are involved.
摘要:
CVD aluminide coatings including a small concentration of a reactive, gettering element for surface active impurities dispersed therein are formed for improved oxidation resistance. The aluminide coatings are formed by CVD codeposition of Al and the gettering element on the substrate using coating gases for the gettering element generated either outside or inside the coating retort depending on the chlorination temperature needed for the particular gettering element.

摘要:
A CVD outwardly grown platinum aluminide diffusion coating on a nickel or cobalt base superalloy substrate wherein the platinum modified aluminide diffusion coating is modified to include silicon, hafnium, and optionally zirconium and/or other active elements (e.g. Ce, La, Y, etc.) each in a concentration of about 0.01 weight % to about 8 weight % of the outer additive (Ni,Pt)(Al,Si) layer of the coating. A particular coating includes about 0.01 weight % to less than 2 weight % of each of silicon, hafnium, and zirconium in the outer additive layer, preferably with a Hf/Si ratio less than about 1 and, when Zr also is present, a Hf+Zr/Si ratio of less than about 1. A coating microstructure is provided characterized by an inner diffusion zone or region adjacent the substrate and the outer additive (Ni,Pt)(Al,Si) layer including hafnium silicide second phase particles or regions dispersed throughout the outer additive layer of the coating.
摘要:
A method of improving the oxidation resistance of a platinum modified aluminide coating formed on a nickel base superalloy substrate, comprises providing a platinum layer on the substrate, heating the substrate in a coating retort to a temperature of at least about 1000.degree. C., forming external of the coating retort a high purity coating gas comprising hydrogen and aluminum trichloride, and introducing the coating gas into the coating retort to contact the heated substrate to form an outwardly grown, single phase [(Ni,Pt)]Al] platinum modified aluminide coating having reduced concentration of at least one of a substrate substitutional alloying element and a surface active tramp element selected from at least one of B, P, and S in said coating as compared to a platinum modified aluminide coating formed at a lower temperature.
摘要:
A wear band for a well drill pipe which is made up of a coil spring sized to fit at the joint of the well drill pipe or casing. The inner surface of the coil spring includes a textured coating such as a carbide. The outer surface includes a plurality of hydrodynamic dimples defined therein, and preferably both the outer surface and the inner surface are adapted to resist corrosion. The abrasive coating preferably consists essentially of 95% tungsten carbide and a binder of 5% cobalt and coats an amount of the inner surface in the range of 50% to 100%. The hydrodynamic dimples are generally tear drop in shape to act as miniature fluid pumps. As a result, the wear band can be mechanically attached to the drill pipe while eliminating the need for metallurgically-welded hardbands and therefore unaffecting the drill pipe properties and dimensions.
