Nickel aluminide (Ni₃Al) is an intermetallic alloy of nickel and aluminium with properties similar to both a ceramic and a metal.

Superalloy article having a gamma-prime nickel aluminide coating

An article for use in hostile thermal environments, such as a component of a gas turbine engine. The article includes a nickel-base superalloy substrate that is prone to formation of a deleterious secondary reaction zone (SRZ), and an overlay coating having a predominantly gamma prime-phase nickel aluminide (Ni3Al) composition suitable for use as an environmental coating, including a bond coat for a thermal barrier coating. The coating comprises a chromium-containing nickel aluminide intermetallic overlay coating of predominantly the gamma prime phase, in which aluminum is present in the coating in an amount approximately equal to the aluminum content of the superalloy substrate so as to inhibit diffusion of aluminum from the overlay coating into the superalloy substrate.

Coating systems containing beta phase and gamma-prime phase nickel aluminide

A coating and process for depositing the coating on a substrate. The coating is a nickel aluminide overlay coating of predominantly the beta (NiAl) and gamma-prime (Ni3Al) intermetallic phases, and is suitable for use as an environmental coating and as a bond coat for a thermal barrier coating (TBC). The coating can be formed by depositing nickel and aluminum in appropriate amounts to yield the desired beta+gamma prime phase content. Alternatively, nickel and aluminum can be deposited so that the aluminum content of the coating exceeds the appropriate amount to yield the desired beta+gamma prime phase content, after which the coating is heat treated to diffuse the excess aluminum from the coating into the substrate to yield the desired beta+gamma prime phase content.

Process of forming a composite coating on a substrate

Precursor-based methods for the production of metal-matrix composite (MMC) coatings on steel and aluminum substrates for improved wear, corrosion and oxidation resistance have been made. Wire and surface precursors are deposited on the substrate by controlled thermal processing using plasma-arc, laser and high-density infrared radiation. The temperature distribution during the formation for coating is controlled by a real tine adaptive control method. The wire precursors produced by continuous pressure infiltration of SiC or mullite fiber with aluminum were used. Steel substrates double-layer plated with binary metals including nickel and aluminum are also thermal-processed to in-situ produce compound such as nickel aluminide coatings.

A protective overlay coating for articles used in hostile thermal environments, and more particularly a predominantly beta-phase NiAl intermetallic overlay coating for use as an environmental coating or as a bond coat for a thermal barrier coating deposited on the overlay coating. The overlay coating has inner and outer regions, with the inner region containing more chromium than the outer region. The lower chromium content of the outer region promotes the oxidation resistance of the overlay coating, while the higher chromium content of the inner region promotes the hot corrosion resistance of the coating interior. Under hot corrosion conditions, hot corrosion may attack the outer region, but further hot corrosion attack will substantially cease once the relatively high-chromium inner region of the overlay coating is encountered.

Method for post deposition of beta phase nickel aluminide coatings

A method for producing an article such as a turbine component that is coated with a β-phase, high aluminum content coating, such as substantially stoichiometric NiAl, and which has a surface finish suitable for application of a ceramic topcoat. The method involves heating the coated article to near the brittle-ductile transition temperature of the coating and impacting the coating with particles of a preselected size so that the brittle coating is not adversely affected by chipping or breakage. The impacting produces a surface finish of 120 micro-inches or finer so that a ceramic thermal barrier layer can be applied over the coating. The preferred method of improving the surface finish utilizes heated peening media to impact the heated coated article, thus allowing use of a broader selection of peening media.

Beta-phase nickel aluminide overlay coating and process therefor

A beta-phase nickel aluminide (NiAl) overlay coating (24) and method for modifying the grain structure of the coating (24) to improve its oxidation resistance. The coating (24) is deposited by a method that produces a grain structure characterized by grain boundaries (44) exposed at the outer coating surface (36). The grain boundaries (44) may also contain precipitates (40) as a result of the alloyed chemistry of the coating (24). During or after deposition, the overlay coating (24) is caused to form new grain boundaries (34) that, though open to the outer surface (36) of the coating (24), are free of precipitates or contain fewer precipitates (40) than the as-deposited grain boundaries (44). New grain boundaries (34) are preferably produced by causing the overlay coating (24) to recrystallize during coating deposition or after deposition as a result of a surface treatment followed by heat treatment.
