    摘要: A method for promoting the environmental resistance of nickel, iron and cobalt-base superalloys of the type alloyed to develop a protective oxide scale. The method entails a technique for removing sulfur during or subsequent to the casting operation. The method generally includes casting a superalloy article in a mold cavity, and then heat treating the article while surfaces of the article are in contact with a compound containing a sulfide and/or oxysulfide-forming element, such as yttria, calcium oxide, magnesia, scandia, ceria, hafnia, zirconia, titania, lanthana, alumina and/or silica. The heat treatment is performed at a temperature sufficient to cause sulfur within the superalloy article to segregate to the surfaces of the article and react with the sulfide-forming element, thereby forming sulfides at the interface with the compound. The compound is then removed from the surfaces of the article so as to simultaneously remove the sulfides and any elemental sulfur that have segregated to the surface of the article.

    摘要: A coating system and method for forming the coating system on an article designed for use in a hostile environment, such as the superalloy turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The method employs a nitrided zone in the surface of the superalloy substrate to inhibit the formation of deleterious topologically-close packed (TCP) phases in the substrate when protected by an aluminum-rich coating and optionally a thermal insulating ceramic layer. Superalloys of particular interest are those containing significant levels of TCP phase-forming elements, such as tungsten, rhenium, tantalum, molybdenum and chromium.

    摘要: A method for preparing a coated nickel-base superalloy article reduces the sulfur content of the surface region of the metallic coating layers to low levels, thereby improving the adhesion of the coating layers to the article. The method includes depositing a first layer of platinum overlying the surface of a substrate, depositing a second layer of aluminum over the platinum, and final desulfurizing the article by heating the article to elevated temperature, preferably in hydrogen, and removing a small amount of material from the surface that was exposed during the step of heating. A ceramic layer may be deposited over the desulfurized article. The article may also be similarly desulfurized at other points in the fabrication procedure.

    摘要: A method of repairing a thermal barrier coating on a component designed for use in a hostile thermal environment, such as turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The method is particularly suited for completely removing a thermal insulating ceramic layer of thermal barrier coating system that includes a metallic bond coat, such as a diffusion aluminide or MCrAlY coating, between the surface of the component and the ceramic layer, while leaving the bond coat substantially undamaged. Furthermore, the method of this invention includes a technique by which ceramic material within cooling holes in the component can be removed without damaging the underlying bond coat. The process steps generally include removing the ceramic layer from the surface of the component by subjecting the ceramic layer to a caustic solution at an elevated temperature and pressure, and then removing ceramic material from the cooling hole by carefully directing a high-velocity fluid stream into the cooling hole. According to this invention, the high-velocity fluid stream is able to overcome the compressive stresses that otherwise anchor the ceramic in the cooling hole, yet does not remove or damage the bond coat underlying the ceramic.
