摘要:
An organic coating composition is described, which can be used to enrich the surface region of a metal-based substrate with aluminum. The composition comprises an aluminum-based powder and at least one organic resin, e.g., alkyds, epoxies, or silicone materials. At least some of the aluminum-based powder is in the form of substantially spherical powder particles. The coating composition is substantially free of hexavalent chromium. It can be applied to the substrate by a variety of techniques, such as spraying. It is then heat-treated, to cause diffusion of aluminum into the surface region of the substrate, e.g., a turbine engine component. The composition exhibits good thermal and chemical stability for extended periods of time. Related articles are also described.

A slurry coating composition is described, which is very useful for enriching the surface region of a metal-based substrate with aluminum. The composition includes colloidal silica and particles of an aluminum-based powder, and is substantially free of hexavalent chromium. The slurry may include colloidal silica and an alloy of aluminum and silicon. Alternatively, the slurry includes colloidal silica, aluminum or aluminum-silicon, and an organic stabilizer such as glycerol. The slurry exhibits good thermal and chemical stability for extended periods of time, making it very useful for industrial applications. Related methods and articles are also described.

A method for removing a chromide coating from the surface of a substrate is described. The coating is treated with a composition which includes an acid having the formula HxAF6, where “A” can be Si, Ge, Ti, Zr, Al, or Ga; and x is 1–6. An exemplary acid is hexafluorosilicic acid. The composition may also include a second acid, such as phosphoric acid or nitric acid. In some instances, a third acid is employed, such as hydrochloric acid. A related repair method for replacing a worn or damaged chromide coating is described. The coating is often applied to portions of turbine engine components made from superalloy materials.

摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to the use and manufacture of cooling features within a component used in a hot gas path, such as within a turbine. In one embodiment, channels are formed within an external surface of the component and filled with a removable material. The external surface and channels may then be coated with one or more layers, such as a structural layer and/or top coat. The removable material may then be removed to leave the channels free of the removable material.

Methods of fabricating coated components using multiple types of fillers are provided. One method comprises forming one or more grooves in an outer surface of a substrate. Each groove has a base and extends at least partially along the outer surface of the substrate. The method further includes disposing a sacrificial filler within the groove(s), disposing a permanent filler over the sacrificial filler, disposing a coating over at least a portion of the substrate and over the permanent filler, and removing the first sacrificial filler from the groove(s), to define one or more channels for cooling the component. A component with a permanent filler is also provided.

摘要:
A method for selectively removing an aluminum-poor overlay coating from a substrate of a component, which as a result of its low aluminum content is highly resistant to a selective stripping solution. The method entails diffusing aluminum into the overlay coating to form an aluminum-infused overlay coating having an increased aluminum level in at least an outer surface thereof. The diffusion step is carried out so that the increased aluminum level is sufficient to render the aluminum-infused overlay coating removable by selective stripping. The outer surface of the aluminum-infused overlay coating is then contacted with an aqueous composition to remove the aluminum-infused overlay coating from the substrate. The aqueous composition includes at least one acid having the formula HxAF6, and/or precursors thereof, wherein A is Si, Ge, Ti, Zr, Al, and/or Ga, and x is from 1 to 6.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for sealing pinholes in an electroless metal coating, said method comprising: (a) coating a substrate with an electroless metal coating layer to provide a coated article comprising an electroless metal coating in contact with the surface of the substrate, said electroless metal coating being characterized by the presence of pinhole imperfections which allow fluid communication between the substrate and the environment; (b) applying a layer of a curable epoxy sealant over the electroless metal coating layer and filling the pinhole imperfections; (c) curing the curable epoxy sealant to provide a cured epoxy overcoating layer; and (d) removing a substantial portion of the cured epoxy overcoating layer to provide an article comprising an electroless metal coating which is substantially free of pinhole imperfections allowing fluid communication between the substrate and the environment.
