Definitions
- This invention pertains generally to nickel-base superalloys useful in the manufacture of hot-section components of aircraft gas turbine engines, e.g., vanes and rotating blades, and more particularly to compatible coatings especially useful for the enhancement of the environmental resistance of such hot-section components made from advanced nickel-base superalloys and nickel-base eutectic superalloys.
- Advanced nickel-base superalloys such as the monocarbide reinforced nickel-base eutectic superalloys of the type described, for example, in U.S. 4,292,076 and designed for use as unidirectionally solidified anisotropic metallic bodies, primarily in the form of vanes and rotating blades in aircraft gas turbine engines.
- the eutectic superalloys have been identified as the next generation of blade alloys beyond directionally solidified and single crystal superalloys. In order to take full temperature advantage of those superalloys, however, coatings are required to provide environmental protection at the high intended use temperatures.
- the coatings must be tightly bonded, i.e., metallurgically bonded, to the substrate and ideally must not degrade either the mechanical properties of the substrate (e.g., ductility, stress rupture strength and resistance to thermal fatique) or the chemical properties of the substrate (e.g., oxidation resistance and hot corrosion resistance).
- the mechanical properties of the substrate e.g., ductility, stress rupture strength and resistance to thermal fatique
- the chemical properties of the substrate e.g., oxidation resistance and hot corrosion resistance
- Examples of adverse effects to eutectic superalloys which have resulted from incompatible coatings are fiber denudation near the coating/substrate interface due to outward diffusion of carbon from the fiber into the coating and the formation of brittle precipitates in the substrate due to interdiffusion between the coating and the substrate.
- nickel-base superalloy which is mechanically and chemically compatible with advanced nickel-base superalloys and nickel-base eutectic superalloys, and which possesses excellent resistance to high temperature oxidation.
- the alloy of the invention is, therefore, particularly useful as a protective environmental coating for the external surfaces of hot stage aircraft gas turbine engine components, e.g., rotating blades and stationary vanes, made from advanced nickel-base superalloys and nickel-base eutectic superalloys.
- the superalloy of the invention consists essentially of about, by weight, 1 to 10% cobalt, 6 to 12% chromium, 5 to 8% aluminum, 1 to 10% tantalum, 1 to 10% tungsten, 0 to 3% rhenium, 0 to 2% molybdenum, 0.1 to 2% hafnium, 0.005 to 0.1 % boron, 0.005 to 0.25% carbon, the balance being nickel and incidental impurities.
- novel superalloy will be applied most frequently as a protective environmental coating to comprise at least a portion of the outer surface of gas turbine engine components and articles
- novel alloy of this invention is useful as a thicker, built-up deposit applied to selected regions of substrates, such as aircraft gas turbine engine components, for repair purposes, or as the tip portion of rotating blades.
- Such applications contemplate composite articles of manufacture having as a substrate an article, such as a gas turbine engine airfoil, made of a nickel-base superalloy or nickel-base eutectic superalloy and one or more thick, built-up regions contiguous with, i.e., joined to and forming an integral part of, the substrate wherein the one or more regions comprise at least a portion of the outer surface of the composite article and are of the above-described novel superalloy composition.
- a substrate such as a gas turbine engine airfoil, made of a nickel-base superalloy or nickel-base eutectic superalloy and one or more thick, built-up regions contiguous with, i.e., joined to and forming an integral part of, the substrate wherein the one or more regions comprise at least a portion of the outer surface of the composite article and are of the above-described novel superalloy composition.
- the present invention relates to a nickel-base superalloy which is mechanically and chemically compatible with advanced nickel-base superalloys and nickel-base eutectic superalloys and which possesses excellent resistance to high temperature oxidation.
- the superalloy of the invention consists essentially of cobalt, chromium, aluminum, tantalum, tungsten, rhenium, molybdenum, hafnium, boron and carbon in the percentages (by weight) set forth in Table I below, the balance being nickel and incidental impurities.
- the present alloy is particularly useful as a protective environmental coating, of between 0.0508 and 2.54 mm (0.002 and 0.1 inches) in thickness, for the external surfaces of solid and hollow, fluid-cooled gas turbine engine components, e.g., rotating blades and stationary vanes, operating in the hot stage sections of such turbines and made from advanced nickel-base superalloys and nickel-base eutectic superalloys. While it is contemplated that the novel alloy herein described will most frequently be applied as protective environmental coatings to provide at least a portion of the outer surface of gas turbine engine components and articles, it has also been found that the superalloy of the invention is also useful as one or more thicker, built-up deposits applied to selected regions of such articles or component-like substrates.
- the utilization of plasma spray techniques to deposit the alloy of the invention is preferred. Most preferred is the technique, sometimes referred to as low pressure plasma deposition (LPPD), described in US-A-3,839,618.
- LPPD low pressure plasma deposition
- Alloys in accordance with the present invention produce very dense coatings or deposits after plasma spraying and especially after plasma spraying by the above-mentioned LPPD process whereby as-deposited densities of 95% and greater are readily obtained.
- 6M 6M-type coatings by way of designation
- an alloy of the invention i.e., one consisting essentially of, nominally by weight within normal melting tolerances, 4% Co, 8.5% Cr, 6% Al, 5% Ta, 4.5% W, 1.5 Re, 1.5% Mo, 0.9% Hf, 0.01% B, and 0.09% C, the balance nickel and incidental impurities, onto flat plate-like substrates and pin-like substrates for environmental testing.
- NiCoCrAIY Ni-23Co-18Cr-12.5AI-0.3Y
- US-.A-3,928,026 a coating typically used heretofore to enhance the resistance of such substrates to environmental degradation.
- the coating material selected was a NiCoCrAIY (Ni-23Co-18Cr-12.5AI-0.3Y) of the type described in US-.A-3,928,026.
- the B-type substrates Prior to coating deposition, the B-type substrates were solution treated at 1273.9°C (2325°F) for two hours and the N-type substrates were solution treated at 1265.5°C (2310°F) for two hours irrespective of the coating to be applied.
- the process of applying the NiCoCrAIY type coatings has been described above.
- the 6M coatings were applied by the above-described LPPD plasma spray process.
- a commercially available standard internal feed plasma spray gun and the process parameters of Table II were used.
- the N-type substrates a commercially available standard external feed plasma spray gun and the process parameters of Table III were used.
- the structure of the B-type substrate is one of an aligned eutectic (TaC) fibrous reinforcing phase in a y/y' matrix while the structure of the N-type substrate is one of y' precipitates in a y matrix.
- Table IV presents the results of cyclic oxidation tests on pin-like specimens conducted under the conditions shown in the table using a natural gas flame at the velocities shown in the table.
- the specimens were rotated for uniform exposure and cycled out of the flame 1 or 6 times per hour to cool the specimens to about 426.6°C (800°F). Failure is defined as penetration of the coating to the extent that (substrate) oxidation begins to occur.
- Hot corrosion testing was conducted at 926.6°C (1700°F) using a JP-5 fuel-fired flame with 5 ppm salt added to the combustion products. The specimens were rotated for uniform exposure and cycled out of the flame once every hour.
- the alloy of the invention as a coating provides good protection to both substrates, and particularly to the B-type substrate.
- the oxidation resistance provided by the alloy of the invention is somewhat greater than would be expected based on a study of its overall composition.
- the alloy of the invention as a coating provides acceptable environmental protection against hot corrosion, i.e., greater than 540 hours life on B-type substrates (test terminated prior to failure) and 1000 hours on N-type substrates.
- the coated specimens were evaluated metallographically to determine the extent of interaction between the coatings on the substrate.
- the results are given in Table V which lists the extent, if any, of the denuded and platelet formation zones, the sum of which comprise the interaction zone, following exposure in the oxidation tests at the temperatures and for the times shown.
- Platelets such as those shown in Figures 3 and 7 for NiCoCrAIY on the B and N-type substrates, respectively, are a result of the interdiffusion of elements between the coating and the substrate, i.e., a chemical incompatibility between the coating and the substrate. The platelets are undesirable due to their needle-like morphology and brittleness.
- the denuded zone also shown in Figures 3 and 7, is a zone which has been depleted ofy' due to the diffusion of elements from the substrate to the coating, leaving a weakened, primarily y matrix.
- the alloy of the invention also possesses high temperature strength superior to NiCoCrAIY. Elevated temperature tensile tests on very thick 1.27 cm (1/2 inch) deposits of the NiCoCrAIY and 6M-type alloys showed that at 982.2°C (1800°F) the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the materials was about (7 and 30 Ksi) 48-23 and 206.7 MPa respectively, while at 1093.3°C (2000°F) the UTS of the materials was about 3 and 7, respectively. The higher strength of the 6M-type alloy is expected to result in greatly improved resistance to thermal/mechanical fatigue cracking.
- the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion (a) between the alloy of the invention and nickel-base superalloy substrates is less than that between NiCoCrAIY and the same superalloy substrates.
- the smaller difference in a reduces the stresses imposed on a coating alloy in service, and thereby reduces the propensity for coating spallation and thermal fatigue cracking.
- the low propensity of the alloy of the invention to form interaction zones, and particularly its low propensity to form platelets, plus its higher strength and thermal expansion compatibility with superalloy substrates makes the alloy of the invention a coating which is truly chemically and physically compatible with nickel-base superalloy substrates, in addition to providing the environmental resistance required in severe high pressure, high temperature turbine environments.
- the novel alloys of this invention are useful as thicker, built-up deposits applied to selected regions of aircraft gas turbine engine components, such as the tip portions of rotating blades or stationary vanes, or for purposes of repairing nicked or damaged regions as typically occur on such components as airfoils.
- the alloys of the invention are more in the nature of a superalloy from which components are made, e.g., that structural or weight-carrying alloys, and less in the nature of coatings.
- the changes required in the plasma spraying process to effect the build-up of thicker deposits, as opposed to thin coatings, are well within the knowledge and expertise of those ordinarily skilled in the plasma spraying arts.
