Definitions
- the invention relates to a coating intended for protecting the interior surfaces of a steam turbine and the adjoining pipes and superheaters, the coating preventing the erosive and corrosive wear caused by steam.
- the invention also relates to a method for coating the interior surfaces of a steam turbine and the adjoining pipes and superheaters.
- the damage caused by wear may lead to the need for fill-in and repair weldings which are difficult to carry out, and even replacement of the turbine casing and pipes.
- the thickness of the adhesive layer is 10 -
- the intermediate layer is a chromium steel (approx. 13 % Cr, with a layer thickness of approx. 200 ⁇ m)
- Ceramic coatings have, for example, the following disadvan- tages:
- the thermal expansion coefficient of a ceramic coating is very low compared with that of carbon steel, so that great or rapid variations in the temperature may lead to the cracking of the coating.
- a crack in the coating may, in turn, lead to rapid local damage to the base material;
- ceramic coatings are good insulators.
- the coating of a turbine casing with a ceramic material could disturb intra-turbine thermal conduction and cause unexpected deformation during operation;
- the coating may have a hardness higher than 1000 HV, and therefore it is difficult to machine, and, furthermore, the coating tends to crack;
- each interface between the different coatings constitutes a strong barrier to thermal conduction, and so problems similar to those involved with ceramic coatings may appear in thermal conduction in the turbine casing; if it is necessary to fill cavities in coating surfaces which are to be machined, there is the risk that the machined surface will run through different layers;
- the triple-layer coating is damaged in operation, for example owing to strong local erosion, it must be repaired by first removing the old coating entirely and by then recoating the surface, layer by layer.
- the primary object of the present invention is to provide a coating which can be used for coating the casing, division planes, piping, superheaters and other parts of a steam turbine so that reliable and long-term protection, suitable for the conditions involved, is obtained for the steel surfaces. It is a further object of the invention that the coating work can be carried out on the site rapidly and economically, and that the coating is also well suited for the coating of surfaces which are to be machined.
- the coating according to the invention is characterized in that the coating comprises a coating layer which has been produced by the thermal spraying of a steel alloyed amply with chromium and aluminum, which, during the coating process, oxidizes strongly in the spray, whereby large amounts of chromium and aluminum oxides are formed which will remain inside the coating, surrounded by a steel matrix, and on the surface of the coating layer there will form, after the coating process, under the oxidizing effect of air, a dense chromium and aluminum oxide film.
- the coating method according to the invention is characterized in that a coating material of steel alloyed amply with chromium and aluminum is sprayed thermally onto the surface being coated, and this coating material oxidizes strongly in the spray during the coating process, whereby large amounts of chromium and aluminum oxides are formed which will remain inside the coating, surrounded by a steel matrix, and that, after the coating process, the coating which has been formed will be exposed to the oxidizing effect of air, whereby a dense chromium and aluminum oxide film will be formed on the surface of the coating.
- the coating material used is a steel preferably containing chromium 20 - 45 % by weight, aluminum 5 - 15 % by weight and molybdenum 0 - 5 % by weight, and especially preferably chromium 22 - 30 % by weight, aluminum 5 - 8 % by weight and molybdenum 0 - 3 % by weight.
- the coating material may be thread-like or pulverous.
- the contents of chromium, aluminum and molybdenum are of the order presented abov .
- the chromium and aluminum oxide film in the coating accord- ing to the invention formed under the effect of oxidation after the coating process, is strong and dense, and will prevent erosive and corrosive wear caused by wet steam.
- the coating according to the invention can be prepared by thermal spraying, by using flame, arc, plasma and/or supersonic spraying, but primarily arc, plasma and/or supersonic spraying, in order to obtain good adhesion of the coating to the base material.
- the coating according to the invention a layer with good adhesion to the base material, a steel coating which contains a large amount of oxides, and a surface layer which consists of a dense oxide film.
- the thickness of the coating should be at minimum 0.3 mm, preferably, however, 0.5 mm.
- the thickness of the coating may be up to 2.5 mm without its pealing off because of internal shrinkage of the coating.
- the very dense chromium and aluminum oxide film formed on the surface of the coating provides excellent protection against corrosion and erosion. Nevertheless, the coating is very tough.
- the coated surface is damaged, for example under the effect of a foreign body which has entered the turbine, the oxides inside the coating will prevent propagation of the damage.
- the coating provides the protective effect of a ceramic coating, but it has the toughness and strength of a metal coating.
- the adhesion of the coating to the base material is very good. When arc or plasma spraying is used, an adhesion strength greater than 60 N/mm is obtained, which is approximately double the adhesion strength of a flame- sprayed nickel and aluminum alloy.
- the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating is close to the thermal expansion coefficient of carbon steel, so that deformation due to thermal shock and thermal expansion will not damage the coating.
- the coating is made up of one single layer and it can be sprayed approx. 2 mm thick, the coating is suitable for protecting very large seal surfaces which are to be machined.
- the coating contains large amounts of hard oxides, its macro-hardness is only 250 - 350 HV units, so that the coating will be easy to machine.
- the cobalt content of the coating is very low (approx. 0.02 %), and so the coating is highly suitable for use in nuclear power plants, also on surfaces on the active side.
- the turbine was opened, whereupon it was observed that the division planes were completely flawless and that the coating above and below the division planes had endured very well.
- the base material had worn off up to more than 10 mm in the area adjacent to the border of the coating.
