Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der thermischen Maschinen. Sie betrifft ein Verfahren zum Ausbessern einer lokalen Beschädigung in der Hitzeschutzbeschichtung eines Bauteils gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to the field of thermal Machinery. It relates to a method for repairing a local damage in the heat protection coating of a component according to the preamble of Claim 1.
Thermisch stark beanspruchte Bauteile, wie sie beispielsweise bei der Beschaufelung, der Brennkammerauskleidung oder als Schutzschilde im Heissgaskanal einer Gasturbine eingesetzt sind, werden häufig mit einer metallischen Schutzschicht oder einer mehrschichtigen Hitzeschutzbeschichtung überzogen, um das darunterliegende Basismaterial vor den über höher werdenden Heissgastemperaturen zu schützen. Die mehrschichtige Hitzeschutzbeschichtung umfasst dabei meist eine auf das Basismaterial aufgebrachte Haftschicht (Bond Coating BC) und die eigentliche Hitzeschutzschicht (Thermal Barrier Coating TBC), die meist aus einem (z.B. säulenförmig aufgetragenen) keramischen Material besteht. Im Betrieb bildet sich an der Grenze zwischen der Haftschicht und der Hitzeschutzschicht noch eine thermisch gewachsene Oxidschicht (Thermally Grown Oxide TGO) aus, welche die Haftschicht gegen weitere Oxidation und Korrosion schützt und die Haftung der Hitzeschutzschicht weiter verbessert.Highly stressed components, such as those in the Blading, the combustion chamber lining or as protective shields in the Hot gas duct of a gas turbine are often used with a metallic protective layer or a multi-layer heat protection coating coated to the underlying base material above the above To protect hot gas temperatures. The multi-layer heat protection coating usually comprises an adhesive layer applied to the base material (Bond Coating BC) and the actual heat protection layer (Thermal Barrier Coating TBC), most of which are ceramic (e.g., columnar) Material exists. In operation forms at the boundary between the adhesive layer and the heat protection layer still a thermally grown oxide layer (Thermally Grown Oxide TGO) from which the adhesive layer against further Oxidation and corrosion protects and the adhesion of the heat protection layer continues improved.
Durch die ständige thermische Wechselbelastung und den Einfluss der strömenden Heissgase und im Heissgasstrom mitgeführter Fremdkörper kann es bei längerem Betrieb zu lokalen Abplatzungen der Schutzbeschichtung kommen, die dann möglichst rasch und zuverlässig ausgebessert werden müssen, um den Betrieb möglichst schnell wieder aufnehmen und möglichst lange ungestört aufrechterhalten zu können. Zur Ausbesserung muss in den Bereichen der lokalen Beschädigung die Abfolge der Schichten der Schutzbeschichtung wieder sukzessive aufgebaut werden, so dass das Bauteil wieder vollumfänglich geschützt ist.Due to the constant thermal cycling and the influence of the flowing hot gases and in the hot gas flow entrained foreign body can during prolonged operation, local flaking of the protective coating occurs which must then be repaired as quickly and reliably as possible Resume operation as quickly as possible and undisturbed for as long as possible to be able to maintain. To be repaired must be in the areas of local Damage the sequence of layers of protective coating again be built successively so that the component again fully is protected.
Aus der EP-B1-0 808 913 ist ein Verfahren zur Reparatur von Hitzeschutzbeschichtungen bekannt, das die folgenden Schritte umfasst:
- Es wird die Haftschicht BC, die durch die lokale Abplatzung exponiert ist, gereinigt, um Oxide und Reste der keramischen Hitzeschutzschicht TBC zu entfernen.
- Die Haftschicht BC wird behandelt, um ihrer Oberfläche eine Struktur zu verleihen.
- Es wird auf der Oberfläche der Haftschicht keramisches Material abgelagert, welches eine die Haftschicht vollständig bedeckende keramische Schicht bildet.
- The adhesive layer BC exposed by the local spalling is cleaned to remove oxides and remnants of the ceramic heat protection layer TBC.
- The adhesive layer BC is treated to impart a texture to its surface.
- It is deposited on the surface of the adhesive layer ceramic material, which forms a completely covering the adhesive layer ceramic layer.
Weiterhin ist in der US-A-6,569,492 ein Verfahren zur Reparatur von beschädigten oder verbrauchten MCrAlY-Schichten eines Bauteils, offenbart, welches Bauteil bei Temperaturen eingesetzt worden ist, bei denen in der MCrAIY-Schicht eine Verarmung Al und Cr stattgefunden hat. Dieses Verfahren umfasst die folgenden Schritte:
- Die MCrAlY-Schicht wird lokal durch Ersetzen mit neuem MCrAIY ausgebessert.
- Die teilweise verarmte MCrAIY-Schicht wird auf der gesamten Oberfläche des Bauteils aluminisiert oder chromiert, so dass Al oder Cr zumindest teilweise in die verarmte MCrAIY-Schicht eindiffundieren und den Gehalt der MCrAIY-Schicht an Al oder Cr wieder auffüllen kann.
- Das Verfahren ist auch anwendbar, selbst wenn eine keramische Beschichtung vorliegt. Die keramische Beschichtung, z.B. eine Hitzeschutzschicht TBC, die sich oberhalb der MCrAlY-Schicht befindet, wird mit einem geeigneten Verfahren, z.B. mittels Säurereinigung, entfernt, bevor die MCrAIY-Schicht in der oben beschriebenen Weise aufgearbeitet wird. Das Bauteil wird anschliessend wieder mit einer TBC-Schicht überzogen.
- The MCrAlY layer is repaired locally by replacing with new MCrAIY.
- The partially depleted MCrAlY layer is aluminised or chromium-plated over the entire surface of the device so that Al or Cr can at least partially diffuse into the depleted MCrAlY layer and replenish the content of the MCrAlY layer of Al or Cr.
- The method is also applicable even if there is a ceramic coating. The ceramic coating, eg a thermal protection layer TBC, which is located above the MCrAlY layer is removed by a suitable method, eg by means of acid cleaning, before the MCrAlY layer is worked up in the manner described above. The component is then coated again with a TBC layer.

Das bekannte Verfahren gemäss der EP-B1-0 808 913 birgt verschiedene Probleme und Nachteile:
- Die Haftschicht wird nur bearbeitet, um deren Oberfläche zu strukturieren. Später entsteht eine thermisch gewachsene Oxidschicht (TGO) auf der Oberfläche der behandelten Haftschicht.
- Die chemische Zusammensetzung der verbleibenden Haftschicht (BC) und der neu wachsende TGO-Schicht verändert sich, und zwar in erster Linie entsprechend dem Wachsen der TGO-Schicht.
- Die verbleibende Haftschicht und die neu gewachsene TGO-Schicht haben
im Vergleich zu ihrem ursprünglichen Zustand verschlechterte
Eigenschaften:
- o Wegen der internen Oxidation und Ausscheidung von sekundären Phasen (z.B. σ- oder α-Phasen) nahe der Oberfläche ist der Prozess nicht vorhersagbar.
- o Nach dem Einsatz des Bauteils bei hohen Temperaturen ist im oberen Teil der Haftschicht (BC) wegen der Bildung des TGO und der Diffusion von Aluminium zur Oberfläche der Aluminiumgehalt deutlich verringert, d.h., die Schicht zeigt nahe der Oberfläche den niedrigsten Al-Gehalt. Es besteht daher die erhebliche Gefahr, dass anstelle von reinem Al2O3 gemischte Oxide wachsen und die Hitzeschutzschicht TBC schnell wieder abplatzt.
- The adhesive layer is only processed to structure its surface. Later, a thermally grown oxide layer (TGO) is formed on the surface of the treated adhesive layer.
- The chemical composition of the remaining adhesive layer (BC) and the newly growing TGO layer changes, primarily according to the growth of the TGO layer.
- The remaining adhesive layer and the newly grown TGO layer have degraded properties compared to their original state:
- o Due to the internal oxidation and precipitation of secondary phases (eg σ- or α-phases) near the surface, the process is unpredictable.
- o After use of the component at high temperatures, the aluminum content is significantly reduced in the upper part of the adhesive layer (BC) because of the formation of TGO and the diffusion of aluminum to the surface, ie the layer has the lowest Al content near the surface. There is therefore the considerable risk that, instead of pure Al 2 O 3, mixed oxides grow and the heat protection layer TBC rapidly flakes off again.
Beim Verfahren der US-A-6,569,492 ist nachteilig, dass die MCrAIY-Schicht aluminisiert bzw. chromiert werden muss, was nicht vor Ort an der Maschine durchgeführt werden kann.In the process of US Pat. No. 6,569,492, it is disadvantageous that the MCrAlY layer aluminized or chromized, which is not on site at the machine can be carried out.
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Verfahren zum Ausbessern einer lokalen Beschädigung in der Hitzeschutzbeschichtung eines Bauteils anzugeben, welches die Nachteile bekannter Verfahren vermeidet und sich insbesondere durch eine deutlich verbesserte Lebensdauer des ausgebesserten Bauteils auszeichnet.It is an object of the invention to provide a method for repairing a local Indicate damage in the heat protection coating of a component which avoid the disadvantages of known methods and in particular by a markedly improved service life of the repaired component.
Die Aufgabe wird durch die Gesamtheit der Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der Kern der Erfindung liegt darin, dass vor dem direkten Auftragen einer keramischen Füllschicht zunächst die metallische Haftschicht bis zu einer vorgegebenen Tiefe abgetragen wird, um definierte Verhältnisse bei der chemischen Zusammensetzung der Haftschicht wiederherzustellen. Dadurch wird es möglich, die ursprünglichen mechanischen Eigenschaften der Hitzeschutzbeschichtung auch im Bereich der ausgebesserten lokalen Beschädigung zu verwirklichen.The object is solved by the entirety of the features of claim 1. The essence of the invention is that before the direct application of a ceramic filling layer first, the metallic adhesive layer up to a predetermined depth is removed to defined ratios in the restore chemical composition of the adhesive layer. This will it is possible the original mechanical properties of the Heat protection coating also in the area of repaired local To realize damage.
Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Haftschicht im oberen Dickenbereich eine von der ursprünglichen abweichende chemische Zusammensetzung aufweist, und dass die vorgegebene Tiefe so gewählt ist, dass zumindest der Dickenbereich der Haftschicht mit der abweichenden chemischen Zusammensetzung abgetragen wird.A preferred embodiment of the inventive method is characterized characterized in that the adhesive layer in the upper thickness range one of the has original deviant chemical composition, and that the predetermined depth is selected so that at least the thickness range of Adhesive layer with the deviating chemical composition removed becomes.
Insbesondere werden, wenn zwischen der Haftschicht und der darüber liegenden Hitzeschutzschicht eine thermisch gewachsene Oxidschicht angeordnet ist, vor dem Abtragen der Haftschicht zunächst in einem Reinigungsprozess im Bereich der lokalen Beschädigung etwaige Reste der Hitzeschutzschicht und der Oxidschicht entfernt.In particular, when between the adhesive layer and the overlying Heat protection layer, a thermally grown oxide layer is arranged before the removal of the adhesive layer first in a cleaning process in the area the local damage any residues of the heat protection layer and the Oxide layer removed.
Damit die Dicke der Haftschicht gezielt reduziert werden kann und unnötiger Materialabtrag vermieden wird, ist es zweckmässig, dass beim Abtragen der Haftschicht die verbleibende Dicke kontrolliert wird. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise dahingehend, dass zur Dickenkontrolle die FSEC(Frequency Scanning Eddy Current)-Technik eingesetzt wird.Thus, the thickness of the adhesive layer can be selectively reduced and unnecessary material removal is avoided, it is expedient that the removal of the adhesive layer, the remaining thickness is controlled. This is preferably done in that the thickness control the FSEC (F requency S canning E ddy C urrent) technique is used.
Besonders günstig ist es, wenn das Abtragen der Schichten und/oder das Auffüllen der Hitzeschutzschicht zur Erzeugung eines definierten Randbereichs durch entsprechende Masken hindurch erfolgt.It is particularly favorable if the removal of the layers and / or the Filling the heat protection layer to produce a defined edge area takes place through appropriate masks.
Um beim Reparieren eine möglichst gleichmässige Oberfläche des Bauteils zu erhalten, ist es von Vorteil, wenn im zweiten Schritt die keramische Füllschicht über die Oberfläche der Hitzeschutzschicht hinausgehend aufgetragen wird, und wenn die Oberfläche der keramischen Füllschicht dann durch mechanische Bearbeitung, insbesondere Schleifen und/oder Polieren, der Oberfläche der Hitzeschutzschicht angeglichen wird.In order to repair as even as possible a surface of the component obtained, it is advantageous if in the second step, the ceramic filling layer is applied beyond the surface of the heat protection layer, and if the surface of the ceramic filling layer then by mechanical Machining, in particular grinding and / or polishing, the surface of Heat protection layer is adjusted.
Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren kann insbesondere vor Ort an eingebauten Bauteilen durchgeführt wird. Es kann aber auch im Rahmen von Servicearbeiten oder zur Ausbesserung neuer Bauteile durchgeführt wird. The inventive method can be installed in particular on site Components is performed. It can also be used as part of service work or to repair new components.
Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen im Zusammenhang mit der Zeichnung näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen

Das in Fig. 1-4 dargestellte Verfahren geht aus von einem aus einem
Basismaterial 11 gefertigten Bauteil 10, z.B. einer Turbinenschaufel oder dgl., die
auf der Aussenfläche mit einer Hitzeschutzbeschichtung 12, 13, 14 versehen ist.
Die Hitzeschutzbeschichtung 12, 13, 14 umfasst eine direkt auf die Oberfläche des
Basismaterials 11 aufgebrachte metallische Haftschicht (bond coating BC) 12,
sowie eine über der Haftschicht 12 angeordnete keramische Hitzeschutzschicht
(thermal barrier coating TBC) 14. Zwischen den beiden Schichten 12 und 14
befindet sich eine thermisch gewachsene Oxidschicht (thermally grown oxide
TBO) 13, die entsteht, wenn das Bauteil 10 (z.B. während seines Einsatzes in
einer Maschine) hohen Temperaturen ausgesetzt ist.The method shown in Fig. 1-4 is based on a from a
Die Hitzeschutzbeschichtung 12, 13, 14 hat nun gemäss Fig. 1 eine lokale
Beschädigung 15, die im wesentlichen in einem lokalen Abplatzen der
keramischen Hitzeschutzschicht 14 besteht. Im gezeigten Beispiel ist die
Hitzeschutzschicht 14 vollständig abgeplatzt, während die Oxidschicht 13 und die
darunter liegende metallische Haftschicht 12 praktisch unversehrt sind. Es lassen
sich jedoch durchaus auch andere Konfigurationen der lokalen Beschädigung
vorstellen, bei denen beispielsweise Teile der Hitzeschutzschicht 14 noch
vorhanden sind, oder die Schichten 13 und 12 teilweise beschädigt sind. The
In jedem Fall werden zunächst gemäss Fig. 1 in einem ersten Schritt etwaige
Reste der keramischen Hitzeschutzschicht 14 sowie die darunterliegende
Oxidschicht 13 oder deren Reste mittels eines geeigneten
Materialabtragverfahrens abgetragen. Der Materialabtrag erfolgt vorzugsweise
durch geeignete Masken 18 hindurch, die sicherstellen, dass die laterale
Ausdehnung des Materialabtrags begrenzt und definiert ist. Darüber hinaus
ergeben sich durch die Verwendung von Masken 18 gleichmässig abgeschrägte
Randbereiche an den Schichten 12, 13, 14, die für die Haftung des später
aufgefüllten Materials von Vorteil sind.In any case, initially in accordance with FIG. 1 in a first step
Remains of the ceramic
Wesentlich für die Qualität der Reparatur ist jedoch, dass über die Oxidschicht 13
hinaus die darunterliegende metallische Haftschicht 12 innerhalb des
Materialabtrags 16 bis zu einer vorgegebenen Tiefe abgetragen wird (Fig. 2). Die
vorgegebene Tiefe des Abtrags der Haftschicht 12 richtet sich danach, wie weit in
die Tiefe hinein sich die chemische Zusammensetzung der Haftschicht 12
gegenüber der ursprünglichen chemischen Zusammensetzung aufgrund von
Oberflächenprozessen wie z.B. der Bildung der Oxidschicht 13 verändert hat. Hat
sich die chemische Zusammensetzung der Haftschicht 12 beispielsweise in der
oberen Hälfte der Schichtdicke verändert, wird etwas mehr als die Hälfte der
Haftschicht 12 abgetragen, um sicherzugehen, dass die nach dem Abtrag neu
entstehende Oberfläche der Haftschicht 12 die ursprüngliche chemische
Zusammensetzung aufweist. Damit der Abtrag der Haftschicht 12 nur so tief wie
nötig erfolgt, ist es von Vorteil, die Restdicke der Haftschicht ein oder mehrere
Male während des Abtragsprozesses zu messen und kontrollieren. Als geeignet
für diese Messung hat sich Prüfverfahren erwiesen, das als FSECT(Frequency
Scanning Eddy Current)-Technik bekannt ist und die Ausbildung von induzierten
Wirbelströmen in einem elektrisch leitenden Mehrschichtverbund in Abhängigkeit
von der Induktionsfrequenz auswertet.Essential for the quality of the repair, however, is that via the
Auf diese neu entstandene Oberfläche der Haftschicht 12 wird nun gemäss Fig. 3
