摘要:
An environmental overlay coating for articles used in hostile thermal environments, such as turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The overlay coating is predominantly beta-phase NiAl with limited alloying additions of zirconium and chromium. The overlay coating is useful as an environmental coating and as a bond coat that improves the spallation resistance of a thermal barrier coating (TBC) system.
摘要:
A protective overlay coating for articles used in hostile thermal environments, and particularly for use as a bond coat for a thermal barrier coating deposited on the coating. The coating is predominantly beta-phase NiAl into which a platinum-group metal is incorporated, yielding a coating system capable of exhibiting improved spallation resistance as compared to prior bond coat materials containing platinum, must notably the platinum aluminide diffusion coatings. A preferred composition for the beta-phase NiAl overlay coating further contains chromium and zirconium or hafnium.
摘要:
A thermal barrier coating (TBC) (26) for a component (10) intended for use in a hostile environment, such as the superalloy turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The TBC (26) is formed of at least partially stabilized zirconia, preferably yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), and exhibits improved strength and fracture toughness as a result of containing a dispersion of chromia precipitates or particles (32). The TBC (26) preferably consists essentially of YSZ and the chromia particles (32), which are preferably dispersed throughout the microstructure of the TBC (26), including the YSZ grains (30) and grain boundaries. The chromia particles (32) constitute at least 1 to about 10 volume percent of the TBC (26).
摘要:
A thermal barrier coating (TBC) for a component intended for use in a hostile environment, such as the superalloy turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The TBC is formed of zirconia that is partially stabilized with yttria (YSZ), preferably not more than 3 weight percent yttria, and to which one or more additional metal oxides are alloyed to increase crystallographic defects and lattice strains in the TBC grains and/or form precipitates of zirconia and/or compound(s) of zirconia and/or yttria and the additional metal oxide(s), the inclusion of which reduces the thermal conductivity of the YSZ to levels lower than conventional 6-8% YSZ. Improvements are particularly contemplated for TBC having a columnar grain structure, such as those deposited by EBPVD and other PVD techniques.
摘要:
A PVD process and apparatus (120) for depositing a coating (132) from multiple sources (110, 111) of different materials. The process and apparatus (120) are particulaity intended to deposit a beta-nickel aluminide coating (132) containing one or more elements whose vapor pressures are lower than NiAl. The PVD process and apparatus (120) entail feeding at least two materials (110, 111) into a coating chamber (122) and evaporating the materials (110, 111) at different rates from separate molten pools (114, 115) thereof. Articles (130) to be coated are suspended within the coating chamber (122), and transported with a support apparatus (118) relative to the two molten pools (114, 115) so as to deposit a coating (132) with a controlled composition that is a mixture of the first and second materials (110, 111).
摘要:
A thermal barrier coating (TBC) for a component intended for use in a hostile environment, such as the superalloy turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The TBC is formed to contain small amounts of alumina precipitates dispersed throughout the grain boundaries and pores of the TBC to getter oxide impurities that would otherwise allow or promote grain sintering and coarsening and pore coarsening, the consequence of which would be densification of the TBC and therefore increased thermal conductivity. If sufficiently fine, the precipitates also serve to pin the grains and pore boundaries of the TBC, the effect of which is to reduce the tendency for the microstructure of the TBC to sinter, coarsen and undergo pore redistribution, which also increase thermal conductivity of the TBC 26.
摘要:
A thermal barrier coating (TBC) and method for forming the coating on a component intended for use in a hostile environment. The coating and method are particularly directed to inhibiting sintering, grain coarsening/growth and pore redistribution in the coating during high temperature excursions by providing limited amounts of extremely fine carbide-based and/or nitride-based precipitates preferably formed at defects and pores at and between the grain boundaries of the TBC microstructure. The precipitates pin the TBC grain boundaries and pores during high temperature excursions, with the effect that the TBC microstructure is thermally stabilized. A coating containing the carbides and/or nitrides can be formed using a physical vapor deposition technique in an atmosphere that contains carbon and/or nitride gases or compounds thereof, or by evaporating a source material that contains carbon, carbon-containing compounds, carbides and/or nitrides.
摘要:
A coating and process for depositing the coating on a substrate. The coating is a nickel aluminide overlay coating of predominantly the beta (NiAl) and gamma-prime (Ni3Al) intermetallic phases, and is suitable for use as an environmental coating and as a bond coat for a thermal barrier coating (TBC). The coating can be formed by depositing nickel and aluminum in appropriate amounts to yield the desired beta+gamma prime phase content. Alternatively, nickel and aluminum can be deposited so that the aluminum content of the coating exceeds the appropriate amount to yield the desired beta+gamma prime phase content, after which the coating is heat treated to diffuse the excess aluminum from the coating into the substrate to yield the desired beta+gamma prime phase content.

摘要:
A process for forming a beta-phase nickel aluminide (NiAl) overlay coating that is suitable for use as a bond coat for a thermal barrier coating (TBC). The overlay coating is deposited by a method that produces a generally columnar grain structure in which grains extend through the coating such that at least some grain boundaries are open at the coating surface. The coating is then peened with a particulate media, followed by heating the overlay coating to a temperature sufficient to cause the overlay coating to recrystallize and form new grain boundaries that are not open to the outer surface of the coating and significantly less susceptible to accelerated oxidation than the original grain boundaries. The particulate media is formed of a composition containing nickel and aluminum, such that an oxide scale that forms on the surface of the coating after the peening operation is substantially free of deleterious oxide compounds, notably iron-containing spinels.
