Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for coating hollow bodies, in which a powder mixture of a metal donor powder, an inert filling powder and an activator powder is provided, the powder mixture with an inner surface of the body to be coated, e.g. made of a Ni, Co or Fe-based alloy, is brought into contact and heated.
- a powder mixture of a metal donor powder, an inert filling powder and an activator powder is provided, the powder mixture with an inner surface of the body to be coated, e.g. made of a Ni, Co or Fe-based alloy, is brought into contact and heated.
- the known processes for diffusion coating components made of heat-resistant alloys, such as Ni, Co or Fe-based alloys include the so-called powder packing processes.
- powder packing processes Such a method is disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,667,985, in which the component surfaces to be coated are brought into contact and heated with a donor powder made of titanium and aluminum, to which an inert filler material and a halogen salt activator are mixed.
- a powder packing method is known from US Pat. No. 3,958,047, in which the metallic component is brought into contact with a donor powder containing aluminum and chromium and is diffusion-coated with heating.
- the achievable inner layer thicknesses are also limited here because the coating gas or the donor metal gas becomes impoverished on its way through the cavities of the component and a layer thickness gradient arises over the length of the cavity. Because the layer thickness of the outer coating is higher than that of the inner coating due to the process, the service life of the components is limited due to the thinner inner coating.
- DE 30 33 074 A1 discloses a method for diffusion coating the inner surface of cavities, in which a metallic workpiece with an aluminizing diffusion powder mixture composed of 15% aluminum powder with a particle size of 40 ⁇ m and 85% alumina powder with a particle size of approximately 200 to 300 ⁇ m and an NH-CL powder can be coated.
- US Pat. No. 5,208,071 discloses a method for aluminizing a ferritic component with an aluminum oxide slip and subsequent heat treatment, the slip consisting of at least 10% by weight of chromium, at least 10% by weight of inert filler material, at least 12% by weight of water Binder and a halogen activator and the coated ferritic component finally heat is treated.
- the use of a slip differs significantly from a powder pack coating process.
- the composition of the coating powder can comprise 10 to 60% chromium powder, 0.1 to 20% chromium halide and aluminum oxide.
- the problem on which the present invention is based is to improve a powder packing process of the type described in the introduction in such a way that the layer thicknesses of the inner coating are sufficiently large even in the case of cavities with relatively complicated geometries.
- the solution to this problem is characterized according to the invention in that the inert filling powder is provided with an average or average particle size which is approximately the same size as the average particle size of the metal donor powder.
- the advantage is that, with such a choice of particle sizes, the specific density can be increased without the powder mixture clumping, for example due to an excessive proportion of the metal donor powder. It is also ensured that there is no early depletion of the donor metal.
- a powder mixture is free-flowing and finds its way into narrow edges of inner cavities to be coated. Hollow bodies such as guide and rotor blades of gas turbines made of heat-resistant Ni, Co or Fe-based alloys can be coated.
- the layer thicknesses of the inner coating also lie in narrow edges or gusset areas of the cavities in the range of 50 to 110 ⁇ m and thus ensure the function of the inner coating as an oxidation and corrosion protection layer.
- the metal donor powder and the inert filling powder are provided with an average particle size of greater than 40 ⁇ m, as a result of which the coating gas can be permeated well by the bed of the powder mixture.
- the powder mixture is preferably provided with a proportion of the metal donor powder of 10 to 25% by weight in order to prevent the powder mixture from clumping together and to ensure good permeation through the bed.
- an alloy with a proportion of the donor metal of 20 to 80% by weight is provided as the metal donor powder, so that a sufficiently thick layer thickness is ensured due to the high proportion of donor metal.
- a mixture of an alloy with a donor metal content of 40 to 70% by weight and an alloy with a donor metal content of 30 to 50% by weight is provided as the metal donor powder, so that the depletion of the metal donor in the two Alloys gradually, that is with a time delay.
- the metal donor powder and the inert filling powder can be provided with an average or average particle size of 150 ⁇ m.
- Such a powder mixture is free-flowing and fills the cavities with the inner surfaces to be coated due to an advantageous specific bulk density.
- the hollow body is a hollow turbine guide vane of a gas turbine, which is provided with an oxidation and corrosion protection layer.
- the cavity has a length of approximately 160 mm. Its inner surfaces are spaced between 2 and 6 mm and converge at two opposite end sections.
- a powder mixture of approximately 20% by weight of metal donor powder and approximately 80% by weight of inert filler powder is provided to coat the inner surfaces of the guide vanes.
- AlCr is selected as the metal donor powder and AI2O3 as the inert filler powder.
- the melting point of AlCr is at least about 100 ° C above the coating temperature of about 800 ° C - 1200 ° C, so that no diffusion bonding of the metal particles to one another or clumping occurs.
- the proportion of an activator powder is about 3% by weight, with AIF3, i.e. a halide compound is selected.
- AIF3 i.e. a halide compound is selected.
- a connection for the activator powder comes e.g. also consider CrC.
- Such a connection must have a low vapor pressure at the coating temperature so that it remains intact during the entire coating process.
- a halide compound of the donor metal here aluminum, is used to avoid agglomeration due to a chemical reaction of the halogen with the donor metal.
- the average particle size of the inert filling powder is 100 ⁇ m and is significantly larger than the particle size of the metal donor powder, which is 60 ⁇ m.
- the proportion of aluminum, i.e. of the metal dispenser, on the metal dispenser powder is 50% by weight.
- the powder mixture provided in this way is filled into the cavity of the guide vanes for coating the inner surfaces.
- the subsequent coating is carried out at 1080 ° C and a holding time of 6 h, the outer coating, i.e. the coating of the outer surfaces of the guide vane can be carried out simultaneously in a one-step process using a conventional powder packing process or by a gas diffusion coating process.
- The.AI content in the layer is between 30 and 35% by weight in the inner coating deposited in this way.
- an inert filler powder (A Oa) with an average particle size of approximately 100 ⁇ m is selected, which makes up approximately 80% by weight of the powder mixture.
- AIF 3 with about 3% by weight of a powder mixture is selected and mixed as the activator powder.
- the metal donor powder which makes up about 20% by weight of the powder mixture, consists of two fractions.
- the first fraction is an alloy of AlCr, in which the proportion of aluminum is 50% by weight.
- the proportion of the donor metal, aluminum is lower in the second fraction and is 30% by weight.
- the Al content in the inner layers is 24 to 28% by weight.
- the inner layer thicknesses are between 65 and 105 ⁇ m and thus significantly higher than the layer thicknesses that can be achieved with conventional (powder pack) processes.
- the hollow body is a hollow turbine guide vane of a gas turbine, which is provided with an oxidation and corrosion protection layer by means of a powder pack coating process.
- the elongated cavity is about 180 mm long.
- the inner surfaces are spaced between 2 and 6 mm and converge at two opposite, longitudinal end sections.
- a powder mixture of approximately 15% by weight of metal donor powder and just below 85% by weight of inert filler powder is provided.
- the proportion of the metal donor powder can range from 10 to 25% by weight, depending on the application.
- the metal donor powder is AlCr and the inert filler powder is AI2O3.
- a halogen compound such as AIF 3 is used as the activator powder.
- the activator powder is thus a halide compound of the donor metal AI.
- the average particle size of the inert filling powder is approximately the same size as the average particle size of the metal donor powder and is 150 ⁇ m.
- the proportion of the donor metal AI in the metal donor powder, which is an alloy, is 50% by weight.
- the specific density of such a powder pack mixture is not high because of a high proportion of the metal donor powder, but because of the selected particle size distribution. With this pouring of the powder pack mixture, there is sufficient permeation of the coating gases originating from the halide compound.
- the powder mixture thus provided is filled into its cavity.
- the bed is easy to pour and also has access to the narrow edges of the cavity.
- the subsequent coating takes place at 1080 ° C and a holding time of 6 h. It can be used simultaneously with the outer coating, i.e. the coating of the outer surface of the turbine guide vane, which can be carried out by a conventional powder packing process or by a gas diffusion coating process. In general, the coating is carried out simultaneously on several turbine guide vanes.
- the Al content in the inner coating deposited in this way is between 30 and 35% by weight and therefore in a very advantageous range, i.e. it occurs e.g. B. no embrittlement of the layer.
- the layer thicknesses are also in the narrow edges or gusset area of the cavities in the range from 60 to 110 ⁇ m, so that the function of the inner coating as protection against oxidation and corrosion is ensured.
