Description

Technisches GebietTechnical field

Gasturbinen für höchste Ansprüche. Kritisches Bauteil ist die Schaufel, wobei Schutzschichten gegen Erosion, Verschleiss, Korrosion und Oxydation bei hohen Temperaturen an Bedeutung gewinnen. Die Schutzschicht hat meist eine geringere Lebens­dauer als der Kernwerkstoff der Schaufel, weshalb die Er­neuerbarkeit der ersteren mehr und mehr in den Vordergrund rückt.Gas turbines for the highest demands. The blade is a critical component, with protective layers against erosion, wear, corrosion and oxidation gaining in importance at high temperatures. The protective layer usually has a shorter lifespan than the core material of the blade, which is why the renewability of the former is becoming increasingly important.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die Weiterentwicklung von Verfahren zur Reparatur, Instandstellung und Erneuerung von durch Erosion, Verschleiss, Korrosion, Oxydation oder mechanische Beschädigung unbrauchbar gewordenen, mit Schutz­schichten versehenen Bauteilen thermischer Maschinen. Dabei muss zunächst die alte bestehende Schutzschicht entfernt werden, was grundsätzlich mechanisch oder chemisch erfolgen kann. Die chemische Methode nimmt ganz allgemein auf dem Gebiet der Oberflächenveränderung durch Abtrag eine führende Stellung ein.The invention relates to the further development of methods for repairing, repairing and renewing components of thermal machines which have been rendered unusable by erosion, wear, corrosion, oxidation or mechanical damage and are provided with protective layers. The old existing protective layer must first be removed, which can basically be done mechanically or chemically. The chemical method generally occupies a leading position in the field of surface change by erosion.

Insbesondere betrifft sie ein Verfahren zum chemischen Ablösen einer hochchromhaltigen Oberflächenschutzschicht vom Grund­körper eines aus einer Nickel- oder Kobaltbasis-Superlegie­rung bestehenden Bauteils.In particular, it relates to a method for chemically detaching a high-chromium surface protection layer from the base body of a component consisting of a nickel or cobalt-based superalloy.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Entfernung von Schutzschichten auf Grundkörpern (Substrat) aus Superlegierungen wird in herkömmlicher Weise unter an­derem nach dem stromlosen chemischen Auflösungsverfahren durch Einwirkung von Lösungen vorgenommen, welche oxydierende Säuren als wesentlichen Bestandteil enthalten. So wird allgemein die Verwendung von HNO₃-haltigen Lösungen zur Auflösung von Nickelaluminide enthaltenden Schutzschichten empfohlen (Vergl. US-A-4 425 185; AU-B-10761/76; US-A-4 339 282; US-A-3607 398; US-A-3 622 391; US-A-3 833 414). Andere oxy­dierende Lösungen enthalten zum Beispiel H₂O₂ und werden zur Ablösung von Nickel eingesetzt (Vergl. US-A-4 554 049). Es ist ferner bekannt, Lösungen, welche Nitrobenzolsulfon­säure und Na-Verbindungen enthalten, zum chemischen Ablaugen von sogenannten "Aluminium-Diffusionsschichten" auf Schaufel­werkstoffen einzusetzen (Vergl. EP-A- 0 161 387). Des wei­teren werden Eisensulfat und Salzsäure enthaltende Lösungen zum Entfernen von Chrom und Aluminium enthaltenden Schutz­überzügen auf Kobaltbasis empfohlen, wobei das Eisensulfat direkt oder über Hydrolyse als Schwefelsäure oxydierend einwirkt (Vergl. DE-B-27 17 435). Ausserdem wurden schon Lösungen mit HNO₃ und HF zur Ablösung chrom- und aluminium-­haltiger oder aluminiumhaltiger Schutzschichten von Nickel- oder Kobaltbasislegierungen mit einem Chromgehalt von mehr als 18 % (Vergl. US-A-3 458 353) verwendet.Protective layers on base bodies (substrates) made of superalloys are removed in a conventional manner, inter alia by the electroless chemical dissolving process, by the action of solutions which contain oxidizing acids as an essential component. Thus, the use of HNO₃-containing solutions for dissolving protective layers containing nickel aluminides is generally recommended (cf. US-A-4 425 185; AU-B-10761/76; US-A-4 339 282; US-A-3607 398 ; US-A-3,622,391; US-A-3,833,414). Other oxidizing solutions contain, for example, H₂O₂ and are used to detach nickel (see US Pat. No. 4,554,049). It is also known to use solutions which contain nitrobenzenesulfonic acid and Na compounds for the chemical leaching of so-called "aluminum diffusion layers" on blade materials (cf. EP-A-0 161 387). Furthermore, solutions containing iron sulfate and hydrochloric acid are recommended for removing chromium and aluminum-containing protective coatings based on cobalt, the iron sulfate having an oxidizing effect directly or via hydrolysis as sulfuric acid (cf. DE-B-27 17 435). In addition, solutions with HNO₃ and HF have been used to remove chromium- and aluminum-containing or aluminum-containing protective layers of nickel or cobalt-based alloys with a chromium content of more than 18% (cf. US-A-3 458 353).

Die bekannten, mit oxydierenden Lösungen arbeitenden Verfahren, stützen sich auf die Erfahrungstatsache, dass sie den Kern­werkstoff des Grundkörpers, im vorliegenden Fall eine Nickel- oder Kobaltbasis-Superlegierung nur schwach angreifen, wenn er wenigsten 7 Gew.-% Cr enthält. Ein Verfahren, bei dem ausser der der Schutzschicht auch noch der Grundkörper ab­getragen wird, ist selbstverständlich in den meisten Fällen für die Praxis unbrauchbar.
Durch den Uebergang zu immer höheren Cr-Gehalten der Schutz­schichten werden jedoch die Verhältnisse der elektrochemi­schen Potentiale des Kernwerkstoffs zu demjenigen der Schutz­schicht gerade umgekehrt: Die Schutzschicht wird in oxydieren­der Lösung gegenüber dem Grundkörper positiv. Das hat zur Folge, dass die Schutzschicht weder elektrolytisch noch stromlos-chemisch entfernt werden kann. Es wird immer der Grundkörper bevorzugt angegriffen, während die zu entfernende Schutzschicht länger standhält. Deshalb sind die oben ge­nannten bekannten Verfahren auf die neuzeitlichen Material­kombinationen hochchromhaltige Schutzschicht / mässig chrom­haltige Superlegierung nicht anwendbar.The known processes using oxidizing solutions are based on the fact that they only weakly attack the core material of the base body, in the present case a nickel or cobalt-based superalloy, if it contains at least 7% by weight Cr. A process in which In addition to the fact that the protective layer is also removed, it is of course unusable in practice in most cases.
The transition to ever higher Cr contents of the protective layers, however, reverses the ratio of the electrochemical potentials of the core material to that of the protective layer: the protective layer becomes positive with respect to the base body in oxidizing solution. The consequence of this is that the protective layer cannot be removed electrolytically or electrolessly. The base body is always attacked preferentially, while the protective layer to be removed withstands longer. Therefore, the known methods mentioned above are not applicable to the modern material combinations of high-chromium protective layer / moderately chromium-containing superalloy.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Ablösen einer auf einer Ni- oder Co-Legierung mit hohem Cr-Gehalt basierenden Oberflächenschutzschicht vom Grund­körper eines Bauteils anzugeben, der aus einer chromhaltigen Ni- und/oder Co-Basislegierung besteht. Dabei soll die Ober­flächenschicht vollständig entfernt werden, ohne dass der Werkstoff des Grundkörpers angegriffen, abgetragen oder beschädigt oder in seinen chemisch-physikalischen Eigenschaften und in seinem Verhalten bezüglich Verträglichkeit insbeondere beim nachträglichen Wideraufbringen (Erneuern) einer Ober­flächenschutzschicht beeinträchtigt oder verändert wird.The invention is based on the object of specifying a method for detaching a surface protection layer based on a Ni or Co alloy with a high Cr content from the base body of a component, which consists of a chromium-containing Ni and / or Co-based alloy. The surface layer should be completely removed without the material of the base body being attacked, removed or damaged or its chemical-physical properties and its behavior with regard to compatibility, in particular impaired or changed, especially when a surface protective layer is subsequently reapplied (renewed).

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass im eingangs erwähnten Verfahren das Bauteil während einer Zeit von 10 h bis 150 h bei einer Temperatur im Bereich von 50 bis 70 °C in eine nicht Sauerstoff abgebende, Eisen III und Kupfer II enthal­tende wässrige Chlorid-Lösung, welche noch weitere Zusätze, jedoch keinerlei Chromoxyd bildende Bestandteile enthält, getaucht wird.This object is achieved in that, in the process mentioned at the outset, the component is immersed in an aqueous chloride solution which does not give off oxygen and contains iron III and copper II for a period of 10 h to 150 h at a temperature in the range from 50 to 70 ° C. which contains further additives but does not contain any chromium oxide-forming constituents.

Die Oberflächenschutzschicht 3 zeigt beim Eintauchen in die Lösung 1 gegenüber dem Grundkörper 2 ein negatives Po­tential (durch Vorzeichen - und + angedeutet), worauf das Verfahren des stromlosen selektiven Abtragens der ersteren beruht. In der Chlorid-Lösung 1 sind die hauptsächlich vor­handenen Ionen (H⁺; Fe³⁺; Cu²⁺; Cl⁻) angedeutet. Der Mecha­nismus der Auflösung ist schematisch durch Symbole und Pfeile dargestellt. Dabei geht vor allem das unedlere Chrom bevor­ zugt in Lösung (Cr³⁺), während ein Teil des Eisens und des Kupfers als Schlamm zu Boden sinken (Feº; Crº), der übrige in Form niedriger Valenzen (Fe²⁺; Cu⁺) in Lösung bleibt.1 shows a schematic cross section through the active part of the contents of a vessel for carrying out the method.

Die Erfindung beruht auf der durch verschieden hohe elek­trochemische Potentiale charakterisierten selektiven Auf­lösung von Metallen, die in eine aggressive chemische Lösung getaucht werden. Dabei verdrängt in der Regel das unedlere elementare Metall das edlere aus der Lösung und geht dabei selbst in Lösung. Das allgemeine Reaktionsschema stellt sich dabei wie folgt:

Me + Fe³⁺ → Me⁺ + Fe²⁺
Me⁺ + Fe³⁺ → Me²⁺ + Fe²⁺
Me + Cu²⁺ → Me⁺ + Cu⁺
Me⁺ + Cu²⁺ → Me²⁺ + Cu⁺
The invention is based on the selective dissolution of metals, characterized by different electrochemical potentials, which are immersed in an aggressive chemical solution. As a rule, the less noble elemental metal displaces the more noble from the solution and thereby goes into solution itself. The general reaction scheme is as follows:

Me + Fe³⁺ → Me⁺ + Fe²⁺
Me⁺ + Fe³⁺ → Me²⁺ + Fe²⁺
Me + Cu²⁺ → Me⁺ + Cu⁺
Me⁺ + Cu²⁺ → Me²⁺ + Cu⁺
