Title: "Metallic Substrate with Intermetallic Compound Coating or Cladding"

This invention relates to coating or cladding materials for metallic substrates, especially high strength structural alloys: more particularly it relates to such materials which import wear and corrosion resistance to such alloys.
Alloys forming articles such as turbine blades which are subjected to prolonged mechanical stress at high temperature also need to have good corrosion and creep resistance. Alloys frequently used for this purpose are nickel-based, cobalt-based or contain Ni + Cu and also contain Mo, Cu, Ti, Al Fe, C and W etc. Such alloys are frequently referred to as "superalloys". In the case of nickel-based superalloys the high hot strength is obtained partly by solid solution hardening using such elements as tungsten or molybdenum and partly by precipitation hardening.
Although such alloys may have the necessary mechanical strength they still require as much protection as possible against corrosion and wear. It is an object of the present invention to produce a metallurgical cladding or coating material affording improved corrosion and wear resistance.
Such claddings require high temperature stability, preferably a melting or decomposition temperature greater than 1400C is necessary.

is Be, Al, Sc, Y, one of the lanthanides, SiJ Ti, Zr, EI~, Th, I -V, Nb or Ta and B is Ru, Rh, Pd, Ir or Pt and ~here x and y are intcgersSf 1 and preferably ~ 5.
Many compounds of the type AXBy are miscible with one another and the coating or cladding material may contain a mixture Or two or more of tbese compounds.
A list of intermetallic compounds giving melting points or dissociation temperatures is given in Table 1. ~e prefer to use the nominal intermediate phases AB cf the elements Nb and Ta with Rh and Ir. I~ any combination (ie whatever the values o~ x and y) these compounds have been found to be the mo,t suitable alternatives to currently available cladding materials.
Tbey are unusually ductile. Details are given in Table 2. These four combinations are not the o~ly ones preferred in all cir-cumstances, however. Others are AlPt3, AlPd and RuZr. A fuller list is as follows: ¦

Preferably the coating of intermetallic compound on the surface o~ the article, i9 in tlle ~orm of a thin film the thickness of which is from 2 microns to 15 microns.
A number of different techniques may be employed to produce a thin film of the intermetallic compound coating material upon the surface of the metal substrate.
By way of example, aluminium may be deposited onto the surface of articles (e.g. gauzes, metallic monoliths and other forms of catalytic substrate by a pack-aluminising process. In this process the articles are packed into a heat-resistant container in an appropriate mixture of chemicals such that aluminium is transferred via the vapour phase .

onto the article surface. At the aluminising temperature, typically 800-1000C, interaction between the platinum and aluminium occurs to give the required intermetallic compound.
Alternatively, chemical vapour deposition from ZrC14 can be used to form a layer of ZrPt3 of electrodeposition may be used either from aqueous or fused salt electrolysis to give the requisite compound.
Whichever method is adopted the objective is to form a layer, preferably firmly adherent, of intermetallic compound on the superalloy, high strength structural alloy or other substrate.
In another technique the metals forming the intermetallic compound are prepared on an appropriate solution in water or an organic solvent. The compound is caused to deposit upon the metallic substrate by the addition of a reducing agent.
The metallic substrate is placed in the solution whilst the precipitation is taking place and becomes coated with a uniform, microcrystalline layer of the intermetallic compound. Where sputtering or plating is used to deposit the cladding this is preferably followed by a specific diffusion technique.
