Abstract:
The present invention is directed to coating compositions for forming diffusion coatings on metal-based substrates. The coating compositions may include a metal powder, an inorganic salt, an activator, and a binder. The present invention is also directed to processes for forming diffusion coatings on metal-based substrates using the disclosed coating compositions.
Abstract:
A gas turbine engine component includes a substrate formed of a high temperature resistant material and a corrosion resistant layer. The corrosion resistant layer is inert to the molten salt impurities and includes a refractory metal vanadate of formula MxVyOz, wherein M is selected from the group consisting of alkaline earth metals, group IV and V transition metals, rare-earth metals and their combinations, and wherein z=x+2.5y, or z=1.5x+2.5y, or z=2x+2.5y.
Abstract:
A coating process for applying a bifurcated coating to an article is disclosed including applying an aluminizing slurry to a first portion of the article, applying a chromizing slurry to a second portion of the article, and simultaneously heat treating the article, the aluminizing slurry, and the chromizing slurry. Heat treating the aluminizing slurry forms an aluminide coating on the first portion of the article and an aluminide diffusion zone between the article and the aluminide coating. Heat treating the chromizing slurry forms a chromide coating on the second portion of the article and a chromide diffusion zone between the article and the chromide coating. The first portion and the second portion are both maintained in an unmasked state while applying the aluminizing slurry and the chromizing slurry and during the heat treating.
