摘要:
An article is prepared by furnishing a plurality of powder particle substrates made of a substrate metal, providing a nonmetallic precursor of a metallic coating material, wherein the metallic coating material comprises an alloying element that is thermophysically melt incompatible with the substrate metal, contacting the powder particle substrates with the nonmetallic precursor, chemically reducing the nonmetallic precursor to form coated powder particles comprising the powder particle substrates having a surface-enriched layer of the metallic coating material thereon without melting the powder particle substrates, and processing the coated powder particles to form the article, without melting the powder particle substrates.

A compositionally graded gas turbine disk is made by preparing a rotationally symmetric radially inner segment of a gas turbine disk preform, rotating the inner segment about a central axis, spray applying a radially outer-segment material onto the radially inner segment as it rotates about the central axis, preferably achieving a gradual transition in composition, and thereafter further processing the gas turbine disk preform to produce the compositionally graded gas turbine disk.
摘要:
A compositionally graded gas turbine disk is made by placing a cylindrically symmetric slip case concentrically into an interior of a cylindrically symmetric outer container. A first nickel-base superalloy powder is loaded into a radially inner first portion of the interior and a second nickel-base superalloy powder is loaded into a radially outer second portion of the interior. The slip case is removed so that the first nickel-base superalloy powder and the second nickel-base superalloy powder contact in the transition region and form a non-compacted powder mass. The non-compacted powder mass is processed into a gas turbine disk, typically by compacting the non-compacted powder mass to form a compacted powder mass, and thereafter heat treating the compacted powder mass.
摘要:
A cooling system for cooling of the flow path surface region of an engine component used in a gas turbine engine and a method for making a system for cooling of the flow path surface region of an engine component used in a gas turbine engine. The method comprises the steps of channeling apertures in a substrate to a diameter of about 0.0005″ to about 0.02″ to allow passage of cooling fluid from a cooling fluid source; applying a bond coat of about 0.0005″ to about 0.005″ in thickness to the substrate such that the bond coat partially fills the channels; applying a porous inner TBC layer of at least about 0.01″ in thickness to the bond coat, such that the TBC fills the channels; applying an intermediate ceramic layer that is more dense than the inner TBC layer on top of the porous TBC; applying an outer TBC layer over the intermediate layer; and, passing cooling fluid from a cooling fluid source through the channel into the porous TBC. The density of the outer TBC layer can be varied as needed to achieve desired cooling objectives. Because the channel exit is filled with porous TBC material, cooling fluid flows through the porous passageways into the inner TBC layer. Although the passageways provide a plurality of tortuous routes, the increased density of the TBC in the intermediate layer provides a resistance to flow of the cooling fluid and effectively causes the cooling fluid to more efficiently spread through the TBC in the inner layer before exiting at the outer surface.

A cooling system for cooling of the squealer tip surface region of a high pressure turbine blade used in a gas turbine engine and a method for making a system for cooling of the squealer tip surface region of a high pressure turbine blade used in a gas turbine engine. The method comprises the steps of channeling apertures in a tip cap to a diameter of about 0.004″ to about 0.020″ to allow passage of cooling fluid from a cooling fluid source; applying a bond coat of about 0.0005″ to about 0.010″ in thickness to the tip cap such that the bond coat partially fills the channels; applying a porous TBC layer of at least about 0.003″ in thickness to the bond coat, such that the porous TBC fills the channels; applying a dense ceramic TBC layer over the porous layer; and, passing cooling fluid from a cooling fluid source through the channel into the porous TBC. The density of the dense TBC layer can be varied as needed to achieve desired cooling objectives. Because the channel exit is filled with porous TBC material, cooling fluid flows through the porous passageways in the porous TBC layer into the squealer tip. Although the passageways provide a plurality of tortuous routes, the increased density of the TBC in the dense ceramic layer provides a resistance to flow of the cooling fluid and effectively causes the cooling fluid to more efficiently spread through the TBC into the squealer tip before exiting into the gas stream at the outer surface.
摘要:
A process for protecting a thermal barrier coating (TBC) on a component used in a high-temperature environment, such as the hot section of a gas turbine engine. The process applies a protective film on the surface of the TBC to resist infiltration of contaminants such as CMAS that can melt and infiltrate the TBC to cause spallation. The process generally entails applying to the TBC surface a metal composition containing at least one metal whose oxide resists infiltration of CMAS into the TBC. The metal composition is applied so as to form a metal film on the TBC surface and optionally to infiltrate porosity within the TBC beneath its surface. The metal composition is then converted to form an oxide film, with at least a portion of the oxide film forming a surface deposit on the TBC surface.
摘要:
A coating and coating process for incorporating surface features on an air-cooled substrate surface of a component for the purpose of promoting heat transfer from the component. The coating process generally comprises depositing a first metallic coating material on the surface of the component using a first set of coating conditions to form a first environmental coating layer, and then depositing a second metallic coating material using a second set of coating conditions that differ from the first set, such that an outer environmental coating layer is formed having raised surface features that cause the surface of the outer environmental coating layer to be rougher than the surface of the first environmental coating layer.

A coated article having a high resistance to particle-impact damage has a substrate, and a layered coating overlying the substrate. The layered coating includes a substantially continuous quasicrystalline layer, and a substantially continuous ductile metallic layer in facing contact with the quasicrystalline layer. The coated article is preferably used in applications where it is subjected to particle-impact conditions.
摘要:
An actively cooled TBC bond coat wherein active convection cooling is provided through micro channels inside or adjacent to a bond coat layer applied to a substrate. The micro channels communicate directly with at least one cooling fluid supply contained within a turbine engine component, thereby providing direct and efficient cooling for the bond coat layer. Because the substrate is covered with an actively cooled bond coat layer, it will reduce the cooling requirement for the substrate, thus allowing the engine to run at higher operating temperature without the need for additional cooling air, achieving a better engine performance. In one form, the component includes a substrate having at least one substrate channel with a first and second end. At least one micro channel is in fluid communication with a plenum which in turn is in fluid communication with at least one substrate channel through an exit orifice in the substrate channel which is at a first end of the substrate channel. A second end of the substrate channel is in communication with a cooling fluid supply, for example, cooling circuits contained within the turbine engine component. The micro channel is located between the substrate surface and the outer gas flow path surface of the component.
