摘要:
A process for diffusing silicon into iron or iron alloy by heating the iron or iron alloy with silica and a suitable reducing agent in the presence of a catalyst.
摘要:
A process for solid-state diffusion of silicon into sheet steel containing not more than 0.05 percent carbon, the process including preparing sheet steel by conventional methods of melting, pouring and rolling, coating the surfaces of the sheet steel with a layer of powder containing about 15 percent to about 95 percent silicon and the remainder substantially calcium, iron and incidental impurities, compacting the powder onto the sheet and heat treating the composite thus formed in a protective environment to cause a solid-state diffusion of the diffusible silicon into the sheet steel.
摘要:
A method and article of manufacture of a coated iron based alloy. The method includes providing an iron based alloy substrate, depositing a silicon containing layer on the alloy surface while maintaining the alloy at a temperature of about 700.degree. C.-1200.degree. C. to diffuse silicon into the alloy surface and exposing the alloy surface to an ammonia atmosphere to form a silicon/oxygen/nitrogen containing protective layer on the iron based alloy.
摘要:
An article of manufacture and a method for providing an Fe—Cr ferritic steel article of manufacture having a surface layer modification for corrosion resistance. Fe—Cr ferritic steels can be modified to enhance their corrosion resistance to liquid coal ash and other chemical environments, which have chlorides or sulfates containing active species. The steel is modified to form an aluminide/silicide passivating layer to reduce such corrosion.
摘要:
A chemical vapor deposition method is provided for case hardening a ferrous metal interior tubular surface by exposure to diffusible boron with or without other diffusible elements such as silicon to enhance the wear, abrasion and corrosion resistance of the surface. The pack composition used allows for borosiliconizing of the interior surface without sintering or adhering to itself and/or adhering to the surface. The pack composition comprises between about 5% and about 20% by weight of a suitable source of boron; between about 2% and about 10% by weight of silicon material; between about 2% and about 15% by weight of an activator; and the balance being a non-sintering, non-adhering filler. The pack composition is substantially free of diffusible carbon thereby minimizing carburization of the interior surface of the tubular member, and remains free-flowing after the heating and cooling steps, to permit the treatment of continuous lengths of the interior surface of the tubular member whereby the pack composition flows freely from the tubular member interior after the treatment.
摘要:
A Fe—Cr alloy having a chemical composition with increased Si and Al contents, in which the chemical composition satisfies the following formula (1) in terms of the Si content, Al content, and Cr content: 14.0≤% Si+1.15×% Al+0.35×% Cr (1).
摘要:
A surface of an article is protected by coating the surface with a silicon-containing coating by preparing a coating mixture of silicon, a halide activator, and an oxide powder, positioning the surface of the article in gaseous communication with the coating mixture, and heating the surface of the article and the coating mixture to a coating temperature of from about 1150° F. to about 1500° F. The article is preferably a component of a gas turbine engine made of a nickel-base superalloy.
