- FIG. 11 illustrates a gas turbine according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention.
- a first plating layer is formed by strike plating on a base material for preventing oxidation of the base material.
- the strike plating is performed by use of a bath containing nickel chloride and hydrochloric acid, however it is not limited to this.
- the time and current during electrolysis may be appropriately set.
- the alloy particles containing at least Cr, Al and Y in the present invention include those containing only Cr, Al and Y or those containing these elements and other elements.
- intermediate heating process is preferably performed at a heating processing temperature of 500 to 1100° C. for 0.5 to 3 hours under a gaseous atmosphere such as N 2 , Ar, or He.
- a gaseous atmosphere such as N 2 , Ar, or He.
- Al or Al—Si diffusion process is preferably performed to form an Al-diffusion layer or Al—Si diffusion layer on the surface of the alloy layer. Since the surface of the alloy layer is more hardened by the formation of the diffusion layer, the oxidation resistance of the abrasion-resistant layer can be further improved.
- the third to fifth inventions are concerned with regeneration of the abrasion-resistant layer, which is performed by appropriately removing the remaining alloy layer. More specifically, in the third invention, after the alloy layer is completely removed, the entire steps of the first invention are repeated. Furthermore, in the fourth and fifth inventions, after the entire alloy layer is completely removed, the steps of the first invention are repeated from the middle to regenerate the abrasion resistance layer (the alloy layer). Therefore, it is possible to regenerate the abrasion-resistant layer excellent in oxidation resistance and durable for a long time operation in a simple procedure without damaging the base material of the turbine blade.
- nickel plating strike was applied onto a base material 11 formed of a Ni-based alloy, thereby forming a first plating layer 12 (see FIG. 1).
- the nickel plating was performed by use of a bath containing 250 g/l of nickel chloride and 110 cc/l of hydrochloride for 3 minutes while supplying a current of 15 A/dm 2 .
- a Ni plating solution which contains particles including Co-32 wt % Ni-21 wt % Cr-8 wt % Al-0.5 wt % Y (hereinafter referred to as “MCrAlY”) was applied onto the first plating layer 12 to form a second plating layer 13 (see FIG. 1B). Note that reference numeral 14 of FIG. 1B indicates MCrAlY particles.
- a Ni plating solution in which both MCrAlY particles 14 and alumina particles (hard particles, i.e., a mixture of Al 2 O 3 , SiC, cBN particles others) 16 were dispersed, was applied onto the second plating layer 13 .
- a third plating layer 15 was formed (see FIG. 1C).
- Such hard particles are used by two reasons below. First, alumina is stable up to a temperature of several hundreds degrees in excess of one thousand. Second, since cBN is also stable up to 900° C., the grindability of the cBN is excellent until the temperature reaches 900° C. Note that most of the hard particles 16 is exposed in the step shown in FIG. 1C.
- Ni plating in which MCrAlY particles 14 are dispersed, was performed until the alumina particles 16 are almost covered, thereby forming a fourth plating layer 17 (see FIG. 1D).
- FIGS. 1E, 3 and 4 intermediate heating process was performed to diffuse the MCrAlY particles throughout the individual plating layers 13 , 15 and 17 to form an alloy layer 18 (see FIGS. 1E, 3 and 4 ).
- the intermediate heating process was performed in an N 2 atmosphere at a temperature of 1080° C. for 4 hours.
- FIG. 3 shows a microphotograph (magnification: ⁇ 40) of the surface of the layer shown in FIG. 1E
- FIG. 4 shows a microphotograph (magnification: ⁇ 100) of the cross-section of the layer shown in FIG. 1E.
- FIG. 5 is a microphotograph (magnification: ⁇ 40) of the surface of the layer shown in FIG. 1F and FIG. 6 shows a microphotograph (magnification: ⁇ 100) of the cross-section of the layer shown in FIG. 1F.
- FIG. 5 is a microphotograph (magnification: ⁇ 40) of the surface of the layer shown in FIG. 1F
- FIG. 6 shows a microphotograph (magnification: ⁇ 100) of the cross-section of the layer shown in FIG. 1F.
- the hard particles 16 of the alloy layer 18 are exposed from the surface of the Al diffusion layer 19 .
- the rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer is formed in accordance with Embodiment 1 as shown in FIG. 1F, where the alloy layer 18 containing both Ni and Co, in which the alumina particles 16 are partially exposed and MCrAlY particles 14 are dispersed and diffused, is formed on the base material. Accordingly, when a turbine blade 1 having the abrasion-resistant layer formed thereon is arranged near a ring segment 3 , as shown in FIG. 7, even if the tip portion of the turbine blade 1 comes into contact with the ring segment 3 during operation, the ring segment 3 is not ground or damaged by the alumina particles 16 exposed from the abrasion-resistant layer. Hence, it is possible to reduce the clearance between the ring segment 3 and the turbine blade 1 as compared with a conventional case, with the result that the efficiency of the turbine can be improved.

However, with the passage of time after the rotating blade 1 comes into contact with the ring segment 3 , the Al diffusion 19 is gradually ground.

Description
- This is a Continuation Application of PCT Application No. PCT/JP02/05911, filed Jun. 13, 2002, which was not published under PCT Article 21(2) in English.
- This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-179053, filed Jun. 13, 2001, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a method of forming an abrasion-resistant layer of a rotating blade, an abrasion-resistant layer, and a method of regenerating the abrasion-resistant layer, and a gas turbine. More specifically, the present invention is applied to a high temperature part such as a rotating blade to be used in industrial gas turbines and jet engines, and so forth.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- It is well known that a rotating blade (turbine blade)1 used in gas turbines etc., is arranged at a predetermined distance from a
ring segment 3, which is fixed to acasing 2 as shown in FIG. 7. The tip portion of thering segment 3 is generally formed of a ZrO2-based ceramic such as TBC. - Up to present, to improve the efficiency of a gas turbine, means for reducing the clearance L between the
turbine blade 1 and thering segment 3 have been investigated. However, if the clearance L is reduced excessively, theturbine blade 1 and thering segment 3 may be in contact with each other due to deformation of thecasing 2 when heated. As a result, theturbine blade 1 may be damaged. It is therefore necessary to keep a certain degree of the clearance. More specifically, the clearance between the turbine blade and the ring segment varies along with the operation time of the turbine blade. - To explain more specifically, when the turbine blade is heated up, it reaches high temperature quickly, whereas the casing does not reach the high temperature so quickly, as shown in FIG. 8. Because of this, the clearance, although it is large in the beginning of the turbine-blade operation, becomes narrow with the passage of the operation time and reaches a minimum at a time point (Tmin). If the operation is further continued, the clearance again increases (see time-point t). When the operation of the turbine is continued for a long time, the casing is gradually deformed. It is therefore impossible to avoid the occurrence of the contact between the casing and the blade even during the normal operation. Such contact is, of course, not favorable.
- To prevent the contact, anti-abrasion coating called abrasive coating is applied onto a turbine blade of an airplane engine. The abrasive coating comprises a matrix formed of MCrAlY and hard particles embedded in the matrix. Symbol M of MCrAlY stands for an alloy containing at least one of Ni and Co. The hard particles used herein are a mixture of particles including Al2O3 (alumina), SiC (silicon carbide), Si3N4 (silicon nitride), cBN (cubic boron nitride), and others.
- Of them, cBN is unfavorable as the hard particles for use in industrial gas turbines used at high temperature for a long time, because cBN is oxidized at a high temperature of 900° C. or more. In addition, the MCrAlY matrix alone cannot attain sufficient oxidation resistance.

- Now, the present invention will be described in detail below.
- In the present invention, a first plating layer is formed by strike plating on a base material for preventing oxidation of the base material. The strike plating is performed by use of a bath containing nickel chloride and hydrochloric acid, however it is not limited to this. The time and current during electrolysis may be appropriately set. The alloy particles containing at least Cr, Al and Y in the present invention include those containing only Cr, Al and Y or those containing these elements and other elements.
- In the present invention, intermediate heating process is preferably performed at a heating processing temperature of 500 to 1100° C. for 0.5 to 3 hours under a gaseous atmosphere such as N2, Ar, or He. This is because diffusion within the coating does not virtually proceed in the temperature range of less than 500° C., whereas the diffusion proceeds excessively when the temperature exceeds 1100° C. In the latter case, the quality of the coating may change. From this, if the heating is performed within the range of 500 to 1100° C., a uniform film can be obtained.
- On the other hand, if the heating process time is less than 0.5 h, the diffusion of the coating rarely proceeds, whereas when the time exceeds 3 hours, the manufacturing cost greatly increases. Thus, if the heating process is performed for the time ranging from 0.5 to 3 hours, sufficient diffusion can be attained at reasonable cost.
- In the present invention, after the intermediate heating process is performed to form an alloy layer, Al or Al—Si diffusion process is preferably performed to form an Al-diffusion layer or Al—Si diffusion layer on the surface of the alloy layer. Since the surface of the alloy layer is more hardened by the formation of the diffusion layer, the oxidation resistance of the abrasion-resistant layer can be further improved.
- In the prevent invention, there is a description reading “forming an alloy layer by diffusing alloy particles in the plating layer by the intermediate heating process”. This means as follows. Since MCrAlY particles are only dispersed in the plating layer prior to the intermediate heating process, and the abrasion resistance layer is nonuniform and inferior in oxidation resistance. Therefore, to improve the oxidation resistance of the abrasion resistance layer, MCrAlY particles are chemically combined with particles such as Ni to form an alloy.
- In the present invention, since the alumina particles embedded in the alloy layer are increasingly exposed along with the operation time of the turbine blade and finally ground and fall off, the abrasion-resistant layer formed on the tip of the turbine blade loses its original function. Therefore, the third to fifth inventions are concerned with regeneration of the abrasion-resistant layer, which is performed by appropriately removing the remaining alloy layer. More specifically, in the third invention, after the alloy layer is completely removed, the entire steps of the first invention are repeated. Furthermore, in the fourth and fifth inventions, after the entire alloy layer is completely removed, the steps of the first invention are repeated from the middle to regenerate the abrasion resistance layer (the alloy layer). Therefore, it is possible to regenerate the abrasion-resistant layer excellent in oxidation resistance and durable for a long time operation in a simple procedure without damaging the base material of the turbine blade.
- Next, methods of forming and regenerating an abrasion-resistant layer according to Embodiments of the present invention will be described. The materials and numerical values for each portions described in the embodiments below are just examples but not limit the scope of the present invention.
- (Embodiment 1)
- Referring to FIGS. 1A to1F, explanation will be made.
- First, nickel plating strike was applied onto a
base material 11 formed of a Ni-based alloy, thereby forming a first plating layer 12 (see FIG. 1). The nickel plating was performed by use of a bath containing 250 g/l of nickel chloride and 110 cc/l of hydrochloride for 3 minutes while supplying a current of 15 A/dm2. - Next, a Ni plating solution which contains particles including Co-32 wt % Ni-21 wt % Cr-8 wt % Al-0.5 wt % Y (hereinafter referred to as “MCrAlY”) was applied onto the
first plating layer 12 to form a second plating layer 13 (see FIG. 1B). Note thatreference numeral 14 of FIG. 1B indicates MCrAlY particles. - Sequently, a Ni plating solution, in which both
MCrAlY particles 14 and alumina particles (hard particles, i.e., a mixture of Al2O3, SiC, cBN particles others) 16 were dispersed, was applied onto thesecond plating layer 13. As a result, athird plating layer 15 was formed (see FIG. 1C). Such hard particles are used by two reasons below. First, alumina is stable up to a temperature of several hundreds degrees in excess of one thousand. Second, since cBN is also stable up to 900° C., the grindability of the cBN is excellent until the temperature reaches 900° C. Note that most of thehard particles 16 is exposed in the step shown in FIG. 1C. - Subsequently, Ni plating, in which
MCrAlY particles 14 are dispersed, was performed until thealumina particles 16 are almost covered, thereby forming a fourth plating layer 17 (see FIG. 1D). - Furthermore, intermediate heating process was performed to diffuse the MCrAlY particles throughout the individual plating layers13, 15 and 17 to form an alloy layer 18 (see FIGS. 1E, 3 and 4). The intermediate heating process was performed in an N2 atmosphere at a temperature of 1080° C. for 4 hours. Note that FIG. 3 shows a microphotograph (magnification: ×40) of the surface of the layer shown in FIG. 1E and FIG. 4 shows a microphotograph (magnification: ×100) of the cross-section of the layer shown in FIG. 1E.
- Thereafter, Al diffusion was performed to improve the oxidation resistance of the
alloy layer 18. By this process, anAl diffusion layer 19 was formed on the surface of thealloy layer 18 obtained after the diffusion process of FIG. 1E. As a result, a rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer was formed (see FIGS. 1F, 5 and 6). Note that FIG. 5 is a microphotograph (magnification: ×40) of the surface of the layer shown in FIG. 1F and FIG. 6 shows a microphotograph (magnification: ×100) of the cross-section of the layer shown in FIG. 1F. In these photographs, thehard particles 16 of thealloy layer 18 are exposed from the surface of theAl diffusion layer 19. - The rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer is formed in accordance with
Embodiment 1 as shown in FIG. 1F, where thealloy layer 18 containing both Ni and Co, in which thealumina particles 16 are partially exposed andMCrAlY particles 14 are dispersed and diffused, is formed on the base material. Accordingly, when aturbine blade 1 having the abrasion-resistant layer formed thereon is arranged near aring segment 3, as shown in FIG. 7, even if the tip portion of theturbine blade 1 comes into contact with thering segment 3 during operation, thering segment 3 is not ground or damaged by thealumina particles 16 exposed from the abrasion-resistant layer. Hence, it is possible to reduce the clearance between thering segment 3 and theturbine blade 1 as compared with a conventional case, with the result that the efficiency of the turbine can be improved. - Note that as the MCrAlY particles used in
Embodiment 1 are formed of an alloy containing both Ni and Co. However, the particles are not limited to these. MCrAlY particles containing at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co, and other alloys may be used. - In
Embodiment 1, after the alloy layer is formed, Al is diffused. However, the element to be diffused is not limited to Al. Al—Si may be diffused. - (Embodiment 2)
- Referring to FIGS. 2A to2C, explanation will be made.
Embodiment 2 relates to a method of regenerating an abrasion-resistant layer when the abrasion-resistant layer is ground along with the operation time of the turbine blade. More specifically, before therotating blade 1 comes into contact with thering segment 3 in FIG. 7, thehard particles 16 are embedded in the surface of the rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer, namely, theAl diffusion layer 19, as shown in FIG. 2A. However, with the passage of time after therotating blade 1 comes into contact with thering segment 3, theAl diffusion 19 is gradually ground. As a result, thealumina particles 16 which have been almost embedded in theAl diffusion layer 19 come out and fall off as shown in FIG. 2B. Subsequently, theAl diffusion layer 19 is removed while leaving the part of thealloy layer 18 corresponding to the first and second plating layers 12 and 13 of FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 2C. Thereafter, the steps shown in FIGS. 1C to 1F are performed as described inEmbodiment 1 to make up for the damage of the abrasion-resistant layer and complete the regeneration. - According to
Embodiment 2, even if theAl diffusion layer 19 is ground by the contact between therotating blade 1 and thering segment 3, the regeneration of the abrasion-resistant layer excellent in oxidation resistance and durable for a long time operation can be attained in a simple method. - (Embodiment 3)
- Referring to FIGS. 9A to9D, explanation will be made.
Embodiment 3 relates to a method of regenerating an abrasion-resistant layer if it is ground along with the operation time of the turbine blade. More specifically,Embodiment 3 deals with a case where the portion of thealloy layer 18 from the surface to the part corresponding to thesecond plating layer 13 is damaged along with the operation time of the turbine blade. - More specifically, before the
rotating blade 1 comes into contact with thering segment 3 in FIG. 7, thehard particles 16 are embedded in the surface of the rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer, namely, theAl diffusion layer 19, as shown in FIG. 9A. Note that, in FIG. 9A, thealloy layer 18 is formed of thealloy portion 21 corresponding to the first plating layer and thealloy portion 22 corresponding to thesecond plating layer 2. - With the passage of time after the
rotating blade 1 comes into contact with thering segment 3, not only theAl diffusion layer 19 but also the part (surface portion) of thealloy portion 22 corresponding to the second plating layer are gradually ground and damaged (see FIG. 9B). Accordingly, theentire alloy portion 22 is removed (see FIG. 9C). Thereafter, the steps shown in FIGS. 1C to 1F described inEmbodiment 1 are performed to regenerate an abrasion-resistant layer (see FIG. 9D). - According to
Embodiment 3, even if not only theAl diffusion layer 19 but also thealloy potion 22 corresponding to the second plating layer are ground by the contact between therotating blade 1 and thering segment 3, the abrasion-resistant layer excellent in oxidation resistance and durable for a long time operation can be regenerated in a simple method. - (Embodiment 4)
- Referring to FIGS. 10A to10C, explanation will be made. Embodiment 4 is concerned with a method of regenerating an abrasion-resistant layer when it is ground along with the operation time of the turbine blade. More specifically, Embodiment 4 deals with the case where the portion of the
alloy layer 18 from the top to the part corresponding to thefirst plating layer 12 is damaged along with the operation time of the turbine blade. - More specifically, before the
rotating blade 1 comes into contact with thering segment 3 in FIG. 7, thehard particles 16 are embedded in the top surface of the rotating blade abrasion-resistant layer, namely, theAl diffusion layer 19, as shown in FIG. 10A. Note that in FIG. 10A, thealloy layer 18 consists of thealloy portion 21 corresponding to the first plating layer and thealloy portion 22 corresponding to the second plating layer. - With the passage of time after the
rotating blade 1 comes into contact with thering segment 3, not only theAl diffusion layer 19 and the part of thealloy portion 22 corresponding to the second plating layer but also the part (surface portion) of thealloy portion 21 corresponding to the first plating layer are ground and damaged (see FIG. 10B). Therefore, after theportion 21 is completely removed, the steps shown in FIGS. 1B to 1F described inEmbodiment 1 are performed to regenerate an abrasion-resistant layer (see FIG. 10D). - According to Embodiment 4, even if not only the
Al diffusion layer 19 and thealloy portion 22 corresponding to the second plating layer but also thealloy portion 21 corresponding to the first plating layer are ground, the abrasion-resistant layer excellent in oxidation resistance and durable for a long time operation can be regenerated in a simple method. - (Embodiment 5)
- FIG. 11 shows a cross-section of the gas turbine according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention.
- A
gas turbine 21 has acompressor 22 and aturbine 23 directly connected to each other. Thecompressor 22 used herein is, for example, an axial-flow compressor, which increases the pressure by taking in air or a predetermined gas as a functional fluid through an inlet port. The output port of thecompressor 22 is equipped with acombustor 24. The functional fluid discharged from thecompressor 22 is heated up by thecombustor 22 to a predetermined turbine inlet temperature. The functional fluid increased in temperature to a predetermined value is then supplied to theturbine 23. - Inside the casing of the
turbine 23, gas turbinestationary blades 26 are fixed in several stages. Each of thestationary blades 26 is provided near the casing and between adjacent gasturbine rotating blades 25. Therotating blade 25 comprises a base material and a rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer, which is formed on the surface of the base material. The rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer is an alloy layer in which alloy particles containing at least Cr, Ar and Y are dispersed and diffused. The gasturbine rotating blade 25 is attached to amain shaft 27 so as to form a set of stage with eachstationary blade 26. - Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the ring segment is fixed to the casing so as to face the
rotating blade 25. One end of themain shaft 27 is connected to therotation shaft 28 of thecompressor 22. The other end is connected to the rotation shaft of a motor (not shown). - In the gas turbine thus constructed, when a high-pressure and high-temperature functional fluid is supplied into the casing of the
turbine 23 from thecombustor 24, the functional fluid is expanded within the casing, thereby rotating themain shaft 27 and driving the motor (not shown). To be more specific, the functional fluid is reduced in pressure by thestationary blades 26 fixed to the casing and the kinetic energy produced by the pressure reduction is converted into a rotation torque by way of themotor blades 25 attached to themain shaft 27. Subsequently, the rotation torque thus generated is transmitted to the main shaft to drive the motor. - The gas turbine of Embodiment 5 comprises a gas
turbine rotating blade 25 having a rotating-blade abrasion-resistant layer formed on the surface, a ring segment fixed to the casing so as to face therotating blade 25, and a gas turbinestationary blade 26 provided near the casing and between therotating blade 25 and the adjacent rotating blade. Owning to this structure, the clearance between therotating blade 26 and the ring segment can be reduced as narrow as possible, with the result that the efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, even if the gas turbine is used for a long time like an industrial gas turbine, sufficient oxidation resistance can be maintained and the repair of the gas turbine can be made easily.
