The member of gas turbine, as blade, impeller and heat shield element comprise with metal such as body Ni-based or that cobalt-base superalloy is made.Their expose portion usually applies the coat system that comprises protective coating, with the corrosion that prevents to cause owing to the oxygenizement under the high temperature and sulfuration.As described in the above-mentioned prior art document, be arranged on the coat system of body outside surface, comprise alloy layer and a ceramic insulation layer that is positioned on its alloy layer of constituting by the MCrAlY alloy.
In operation process, keep the gas turbine component inside of strong load effect, the internal passages that imports cold fluid is all arranged usually.The passage generally fixed position when its component operation has the one-level opening, disposes many secondary openings and be exposed in operation along the efficient part in the effusive air-flow of member.Cold fluid finally on the efficient part surface of member, forms a freezing mask, prevents that member from directly contacting with combustion gas, and cold fluid mixes with air-flow by the secondary opening afterwards.
Gas turbine member internal body passage might stand corrosion or oxidation etch, and this is because the temperature of the internal surface that the body interior passageway is limited still might be quite high.Therefore, accelerated at the fluid components of the passage of flowing through and the chemical reaction between the organism material.From the viewpoint of practicality, even fluid is air or air and steam mixture, so airborne impurity, ammonia and/or sulphur compound as in salt in the ocean environment or the rural environment all can produce corrosion.As a kind of anti-corrosion measure,, one deck aluminide is set all usually at the internal surface of gas turbine member interior passageway.
When making the gas turbine member, the outside surface of member is provided with alloy layer and ceramic layer, and internal surface is provided with aluminium compound layer, and operation must be careful, between the component that prevents the appearance surface coatings system, deleterious interaction takes place.Especially serious is at inner surface of component, and the aluminide by gas phase is aluminized and formed also can be deposited on the outside surface of member.General way is earlier alloy layer to be arranged on outside surface, before internal surface is aluminized, still keeps its original uneven surface.Aluminize at internal surface then, alloy layer also is coated with aluminium inevitably.Then,, grind or polish, to reach desired surfaceness on the alloy layer surface that is coated with aluminium.This treatment process has been removed the most aluminium compound layer of alloy surface, but never is whole.Like this, ceramic layer just is placed on a uncertain surface of chemical ingredients, thereby the intensity of resulting ceramic layer is suspectable.From the alloy layer surface, remove aluminide fully, need more complicated step, will strengthen manufacturing cost.
As a kind of alternative method of above-mentioned coating processes, the someone imagines, and before the outside surface of gas turbine component is provided with alloy layer, at the surfaces externally and internally of member one aluminium compound layer is set earlier all.Yet, in this case,, in the member body, formed the fragility phase of a rich aluminium owing to the diffusion of a large amount of aluminium that exist.The embrittlement of fragility mutual-assistance body falls under suspicion its use properties.
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of hardware with high temperature protection coat system, and the method that applies this member.This method has overcome the equipment of above-mentioned general type and the deficiency of method, and can satisfy existing coat system is carried out improved demand.This method makes coat system and predetermined function thereof, and aluminium compound layer is had than Wheat Protein.If only have interactional words any time between aluminium compound layer and coat system, the method for this patent can not be subjected to the application of these aluminium compound layers and the restriction of position to be more suitable for using together with aluminium compound layer so.

Though the present invention with specific embodiments, has done detailed explanation to hardware and coating method aspect thereof with high temperature protection coating; Yet be not limited to the content explained,, and all fall within the scope suitable with claim of the present invention because in not breaking away from spiritual scope of the present invention, the variation of various improvement and structure all may occur.
Yet structure of the present invention and additional purpose and advantage thereof from the explanation and accompanying drawing of following special embodiment, can obtain the most thorough understanding.
Fig. 1 is the part of the cross-sectional view of the coat system that uses among the present invention.Fig. 2 is the sectional view of combustion steam turbine engine tab member, and it comprises basic unit and protective coating system as shown in Figure 1.
Consult accompanying drawing now.At first, especially with reference to figure 1, as can be seen from Fig. 1, a protective coating system is arranged on basic unit, this system comprises alloy layer, aluminium compound layer and the ceramic layer above it, and one deck aluminium compound layer on the internal surface of passage.
Basic unit 1 is the main body of product, gas turbine member especially, and in the running, it is standing the effect of strong thermal load, also stands the corrosive infringement simultaneously.Constitute the material of basic unit 1,, need possess intensity and stability of structure when the mechanical load that stands heat-flash load and additional force for example during centrifugal force.Ni-based or cobalt-base superalloy is to gain recognition widely, and obtains the material of manufacturing gas turbine used.For the thermal load of restriction to the basic unit 1, be provided with a coat system above.This coat system protection matrix 1 is not corroded it, comprising the erosion that causes owing to oxygenizement.This coat system comprises alloy layer 2, places the aluminide 3 on the alloy layer and places ceramic layer 4 on the aluminium compound layer 3, and alloy layer 2 is by the MCrAlY alloy composition, preferably as above-mentioned people such as Czech at United States Patent(USP) Nos. 5,154,885,5,268,238; 5,273,712 and 5,401,307 described the sort of MCrAlY alloys.These patents are incorporated herein by reference.Ceramic layer 4 is made by the columnar grain pottery, is made up of zirconium dioxide stabilization or partially stabilizedization especially basically.
A passage 5 is arranged in basic unit 1, and cold fluid therefrom flows through during the gas turbine running, makes basic unit's 1 cooling.Passage adjoins mutually with inwall 6, and an aluminium compound layer 7 is set on inwall 6.
2,3,4 and 7 layers setting is to finish according to specific program, with avoid 2,3,4 and 7 and form between, deleterious interaction takes place.The particularly important is aluminium compound layer 3 and 7.Aluminium compound layer 7 on the inwall 6 is to be used for specially protecting inwall 6, and it is not corroded.The aluminium compound layer 3 of passage 5 outsides for the function of coat system, may be unnecessary.Yet it is to apply on the inwall 6 in the process of aluminium compound layer 7, inevitably by product.
For aluminium compound layer 3 is combined in the functional coat system, and between alloy layer of avoiding any rough sledding of producing owing to its existence, aluminium compound layer 3 to be placed on placing and polished 2 and the ceramic layer 4 to be placed subsequently.The polished surface of alloy layer 2 is the smooth interface between alloy layer and the aluminium compound layer 3.The aluminium compound layer surface can be polished or be carried out surface treatment, comes as required to determine.The thickness of aluminium compound layer 3 preferably is controlled at below the 10 μ m, after advantageously placing, its surface is polished., also preferably before aluminium compound layer 3 is set, alloy layer 2 is polished for this reason, make its surfaceness less than 2 μ m.
The thickness of the aluminium compound layer 7 on the internal surface can be regulated, and itself and this layer functional performance is adapted.The preferred thickness of aluminium compound layer 7 is less than 50 μ m.
Aluminium compound layer 3 and 7 material are selected strict especially, preferably aluminium, nickel aluminide and platinum aluminide.Aluminium compound layer 3 and 7 is aluminized and can be applied easily with gas phase.This technology is known, and often be used in the prior art.But this method also can be splashed to the position that does not need to apply to aluminide to get on.Otherwise, as disclosing, need take special measure here.Coated alloy layer 2, not strict usually.Generally be to use plasma spraying process, this method is compared with being used for aluminized vapour phase processes, has stronger selectivity for position to be coated, does not generally have specific question.Best, coated alloy layer 2 needs special thermal treatment, so that alloy layer 2 is fixed in the basic unit 1 equably.
Aluminium compound layer 3 is set between alloy layer 2 and ceramic layer 4 an incidental benefit is arranged; providing can be to the aluminium source of alloy layer 2 diffusions; increased the required protective value of alloy layer; and provide an interface; under suitable condition; it can form a thin alumina layer, and it is the fixing best mode of ceramic layer.Yet for fear of owing to the too high alloy layer that the occurs 2 embrittlement problems of aluminium content, the thickness of aluminium compound layer 3 should be too not thick, and the thickness of aluminium compound layer just is considered to effective in the scope of 10 μ m usually.
Fig. 2 shows the member of whole gas turbine, and promptly blade 8.This member 8 has an airfoil section 9 (when this part 9 is the internal combustion turbine running " effectively parts ", standing impact) along its airflow flowing, fixing part 10 is (in the gas turbine operation process, member 6 anchored in place are thereon), hermetic unit 11 (its effect is to prevent the predefined flow path of flow shedding).Fig. 1 is the sectional view that obtains from the I-I position.
In order to make gas turbine blade 8 coolings, blade interior has a passage 5, and cold fluid therefrom passes through, as shown in Figure 1.Cold fluid is normally in fixed position 10 places charging, and is as shown in arrow 2.Cold fluid leaves gas turbine blade 8 by aperture 13, imports in airfoil section 9 airflow flowing.
As mentioned above, in the process that coat system is coated on the gas turbine blade 8, need special concern aperture 13, at applying coating 2,3,4 with prevented by clogged with material at 7 o'clock.Coated alloy layer 2 and ceramic layer 4 are strict usually.Therefore, after having applied coating 2,3,4 or 7, check preferably whether aperture 13 is blocked.Aperture 13 be coating 2,3,4 and 7 at least some applied finish after, hole again.Aperture 13 has preferably applied at alloy layer 2, but when not polishing as yet, makes with laser milling (Laser milling) or with electrification processing (ECM).
After applying aluminium compound layer 3 and 7, if necessary, can insert the throttling sheet and be fixed in the passage 5.Final thermal treatment in the polishing process in particular for ceramic layer 4, is a favourable procedure.
