Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a process of fabricating thermal barrier coatings and turbine components having thermal barrier coatings. More specifically, the present invention is directed to cold spray to form thermal barrier coatings.
- thermal barrier coatings are often used as sealing structures for hot gas path components.
- An ability of the TBC to protect the hot gas path components from the rising temperatures is limited by a thermal conductivity of the TBC. The lower the thermal conductivity of the TBC, the higher the temperature the TBC can withstand.
- TBC deposition including electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD) and air plasma spraying (APS), are unable to form the desired porosity while maintaining a required mechanical strength in the TBC.
- EBPVD electron beam physical vapor deposition
- APS air plasma spraying
- K value constituents like lanthana for example, cannot be deposited by APS to the thicknesses required for effective TBC layer due to the formation of a glass phase that disrupts the spraying process.
- WO 2004/007787 discloses a layer system comprising a substrate with an intermediate layer and an outer heat insulating layer. The material of the intermediate layer is partially formed in the heat insulating layer. One of the layers is applied by cold gas spraying.
- WO 02/061177 discloses a process for applying a thermal barrier coating to a turbine component including the step of depositing a bond coating layer by a cold spray process.
- the layer of bond coating material may have different depths in difference areas of the component, and it may have different compositions across its depth.
- the precise control afforded by the cold spray material deposition step allows the surface of the bond coating material layer to be formed with a predetermined surface roughness or with a plurality of micro-ridges in order to optimize its bond to the overlying ceramic insulating layer.
- EP 2072634 discloses a method for coating a substrate of a turbine engine component comprising cold spray depositing a metal-based material onto a surface of the substrate, and heating the deposited metal-based material to increase the porosity of the deposited metal-based material.
- a process of fabricating a thermal barrier coating includes cold spraying a substrate with a feedstock to form a thermal barrier coating and concurrently oxidizing one or more of the substrate, the feedstock, and the thermal barrier coating.
- the cold spraying is in a region having an oxygen concentration of at least 10%.
- Embodiments of the present disclosure for example in comparison to processes not employing one or more of the features disclosed herein, provide increased ceramic retention in deposits, increased oxide content of the deposits, graded porosity layers, mica fillers, increased porosity, decreased thermal conductivity value, controlled thermal barrier coating microstructure, and combinations thereof.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show articles 100, such as a turbine shroud positioned adjacent to a turbine blade 105, having a thermal barrier coating 102.
- the thermal barrier coating 102 forms a turbine component, such as a turbine seal.
- the thermal barrier coating 102 is positioned directly on a substrate 101 of the article 100, as shown in FIG. 1 , or is positioned on one or more intermediate layers 202 on the substrate 101, as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the thermal barrier coating 102 forms a low thermal conductivity portion in comparison to other portions of the article 100.
- the article 100 is any suitable metallic component, such as a stationary component or a rotating part. Suitable metallic components include, but are not limited to, compressor components, turbine components, turbine blades, and turbine buckets. As used herein, the term "metallic" is intended to encompass metals, alloys, composite metals, intermetallic materials, or any combination thereof. In one embodiment, the article 100 includes or is stainless steel. In another embodiment, the article 100 includes or is a nickel-based alloy. Other suitable alloys include, but are not limited to, cobalt-based alloys, chromium based alloys, carbon steel, and combinations thereof. Suitable metals include, but are not limited to, titanium, aluminum, and combinations thereof.
- the thermal barrier coating 102 is positioned on any suitable portion or surface of the article 100.
- the thermal barrier coating 102 is a portion of the article 100, such as, a hot gas path of a turbine, a fillet, the turbine seal, a compressor seal, a labyrinth seal, a brush seal, a flexible seal, a damping mechanism, a cooling mechanism, bucket interiors, pistons, heat exchangers, or combinations thereof.
- the thermal barrier coating 102 is formed by cold spraying of a solid/powder feedstock 402 (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ) in a region 103 having an oxygen concentration of at least 10%. In one embodiment, the oxygen concentration is above about 50%. In one embodiment, the oxygen concentration is above about 70%.
- the feedstock 402 includes, but is not limited to, ceramic particles and a binder 404 ( FIG. 4 ).
- the thermal barrier coating 102 includes a network of pores 104. In one embodiment, the pores 104 are have limited visual discernibility and/or have a fine porosity. In another embodiment, the pores 104 are complex and do not have a consistent geometry, similar to steel wool, and/or have a coarse porosity.
- the pores 104 are any suitable size and within any suitable density. Suitable sizes of the pores 104 are between about 1 and about 100 microns, between about 10 and about 50 microns, between about 30 and about 40 microns, between about 50 and about 100 microns, between about 50 and about 70 microns, or a combination thereof. Suitable densities of the pores 104 are between about 5% and about 85%, about 15% and about 75%, about 15% and about 25%, about 25% and about 75%, about 2% and about 15%, and combinations and sub-combinations thereof.
- the thermal barrier coating 102 is positioned on two of the intermediate layers 202, one of which is positioned on the substrate 101 of the article 100.
- the metallic structure is positioned on three, four, five, or more of the intermediate layers 202.
- the article 100 is prepared (step 302), for example, by cleaning the surface of the article 100.
- the thermal barrier coating 102 is then applied to the article 100 by cold spray (step 304).
- the cold spraying (step 304) includes spraying the feedstock 402 (see FIGS. 4 and 5 ) and the processing takes place mostly in a solid condition with less heat than processes such as welding or brazing.
- the cold spraying (step 304) applies the thermal barrier coating 102 to a predetermined region.

- Equation 1 "A” is the area of nozzle exit 405 and “A*" is the area of nozzle throat 407. " ⁇ ” is the ratio C p /C v of the process gas 409 being used (C p being the specific heat capacity at constant pressure and C v being the specific heat capacity at constant volume). The gas flow parameters depend upon the ratio of A/A*.
