摘要:
A method for producing a locally limited diffusion coat on a metallic component is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method includes arranging the component and at least one dispenser pack containing the material to be diffused, making available at least one protective gas stream, which flows around the at least one region of the component that is not to be provided with a diffusion coat, and heating the component and the dispenser pack to a temperature for carrying out the diffusion and maintaining the temperature for a specific time. A reactor for producing a locally limited diffusion coat on a metallic component is also disclosed.
摘要:
Diffusion chromizing of nickel-base superalloys is effected with essentially no formation of oxide or alphachrome, even in a high-volume diffusion coating pack, by use of a pack consisting essentially of, by weight,about 2 to about 3% aluminumabout 3 to about 6 times as much chromium as aluminuma mixture of cobalt and nickel in a combined amount about 10 to about 20 times the amount of aluminum, the amount of cobalt being from about 1/3 to about 4/3 the amount of nickelthe balance of the pack being essentially inert filler and activating material. The use of a magnesium halide activator with such pack extends the improvement to the application of heavier chromizing cases. Pack can be of fluent type, particularly where workpiece is partially masked, and masking can be colored to provide visual contrast. Metals not requiring chromizing can be aluminized and top coated with slurry of flake aluminum in aqueous solution of CrO.sub.4.sup..dbd., PO.sub.4.sup..tbd. and Mg.sup.++. Gun barrels can have their internal bores diffusion chromized with fluent pack, and quenched during the cool-down that follows the chromizing.
摘要:
An improved steel substrate for preparing chromized steel, the substrate consisting essentially of a flat rolled plain low carbon columbium treated steel initially having a total carbon content of at least 0.03% and containing about 0.03-0.15% columbium. The steel substrate is the flat rolled product of the solidification of molten steel having the above composition. The carbon content of the steel substrate is partially stabilized whereby a controlled portion of the carbon is free to diffuse upon heating to an elevated chromizing temperature. The carbon content which is free to diffuse, the columbium content, and the thickness of the substrate are carefully correlated whereby the overall quality of the chromized product prepared therefrom may be controlled and maintained at optimum levels. The invention further provides the improved chromized steel products prepared thereby.
摘要:
Low temperature aluminum diffusion is more uniform when effected with a pack energized by aluminum chloride or other material that does not generate nitrogen, and gives food protection against marine corrosion of steels, and particularly when there is a chromate-type coating applied over the aluminizing. Highly effective chromate-type coating mixture consists essentially of aqueous solution of chromic and phosphoric acid also containing magnesium salts of said acids and dispersed polytetrafluoroethylene particles. Such coating mixture is best applied over porous pre-coating of colloidal inert particles. Aluminized superalloy can be heated in air to whiten it, then cleaned to give product having more ductile case. Such coated superalloy can also be stripped of coating by aqueous HNO.sub.3 --HF--CrO.sub.3 bath.
摘要:
Diffusion coating of superalloys with aluminum is effectively prevented at desired locations by masking with nickel or cobalt aluminide having less than one atom of aluminum for each atom of nickel or cobalt, and packed against those locations. Chromium, silicon, iron or any combination of them can be coated along with the aluminum as by alloying with the aluminum used to provide the coating, and particularly effective particle size of such alloys is about 1 micron. Such sizes are produced by simultaneous magnesothermic reduction. Molybdenum and tungsten silicide particles can also be produced in this small size by such reduction and make effective diffusion coating materials. Diffusion coating can also be confined to restricted portions of work pieces without the above masking.
摘要:
In the pack diffusion coating of chromium into the surface of a superalloy, the formation of undesirable oxide inclusion is reduced when the diffusion coating pack contains at least about 3% Ni.sub.3 Al. Also the formation of alpha-chromium is reduced when the pack diffusion is carried out in a retort effectively not over five inches in height. On the other hand an alpha-chromium-rich layer at least 0.2 mil thick can be deliberately formed and the superalloy thus coated subjected to an aluminizing treatment to convert the alpha-chromium into islands that provide very high sulfidation resistance. Pack aluminizing in the presence of chromium makes a very effective aluminum- or chromium-containing top coating over platinum plated or platinum coated nickel-base superalloys. Depletion of diffusible material from workpieces heated in a powder-pack can also provide a surface on which aluminizing produces a highly impact-resistant coating.
摘要:
Foil, wire and similar coherent bodies of catalytic metal are provided with catalytically active surfaces by diffusing a chemically removable metal such as aluminum or zinc into those surfaces and then selectively dissolving out at least about a third of the removable metal. Platinum wire screens activated in this way make effective exhaust catalysts for automotive engines.
摘要:
Diffusion coating a substrate metal with a different metal, such as aluminum and zinc, that is then chemically removed from the coated substrate, provides the residual metal with a very desirable catalytic surface. At least about a third of the removable metal can be dissolved out. Platinum wire screens activated in this way make effective exhaust catalysts for automotive engines. Chromium-rich coating for protective purposes can be applied on a superalloy, diffusion coating in a pack that in addition to the chromium to be diffused, also contains at least about 3% Ni.sub.3 Al. Also the formation of alpha-chromium is reduced when the pack diffusion is carried out in a retort effectively not over five inches in height. Pack aluminizing in the presence of chromium makes a very effective aluminum- and chromium-containing top coating over platinum plated or platinum coated nickel-base superalloys. Depletion of diffusible material from workpieces heated in a powder-pack can also provide a surface on which aluminizing produces a highly impact-resistant coating.
