Definitions

  • the subject matter disclosed herein relates to gas turbine systems, and more particularly to a method of coating components within gas turbine systems.
  • components associated with rotating machinery such as compressors and turbines, for example, are subjected to a sustained high temperature, high load environment.
  • Many of the components are coated for thermal or oxidative protection, with the coating process being a particulate aerosol or plasma spray comprising particles.
  • the particles of the coating approach a surface of the component to be coated and the specific type of interaction of the particles with the surface depends on several factors, such as particle size, particle velocity, particle hardness, particle temperature, surface impingement angle, and the presence of sharp corners at the intersections of adjacent surfaces.
  • a method of coating a corner interface of a turbine system includes placing a mesh assembly proximate the corner interface. The method also includes depositing a coating onto and through the mesh assembly and into the corner interface, wherein the mesh assembly dampens a kinetic energy of the coating and secures the coating proximate the corner interface.
  • a method of coating a corner interface of a turbine component includes placing a mesh assembly proximate the corner interface, wherein the mesh assembly is removable. Also included is depositing a coating onto and through the mesh assembly and into the corner interface, wherein the mesh assembly dampens a kinetic energy of the coating and secures the coating proximate the corner interface. Further included is removing the mesh assembly from proximate the corner interface.
  • a method of coating a corner interface of a turbine component includes placing a mesh assembly proximate the corner interface. Also included is depositing a coating onto and through the mesh assembly and into the corner interface, wherein the mesh assembly dampens a kinetic energy of the coating and secures the coating proximate the corner interface, wherein the mesh assembly comprises a material that is consumable within the coating.
  • FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a turbine airfoil being coated at a corner interface through a mesh assembly
  • FIG. 2 is a side elevational view of an inner corner having a plurality of mesh assemblies therein;
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the inner corner having a split mesh assembly
  • FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the inner corner having a removable mesh assembly placed therein;
  • FIG. 5 is a side elevational view of the inner corner having a first coating layer disposed between the inner corner and the removable mesh assembly;
  • FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of the inner corner having the removable mesh assembly spaced outwardly from the first coating layer;
  • FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the inner corner having a second coating layer disposed between the first coating layer and the removable mesh assembly;
  • FIG. 8 is a side elevational view of the inner corner having the first coating layer and the second coating layer disposed therein after the removable mesh assembly has been removed;
  • FIG. 9 is a front perspective view of an outer corner having the mesh assembly placed thereon;
  • FIG. 10 is a side elevational view of the outer corner having a continuous mesh
  • FIG. 11 is a side elevational view of the outer corner having a split mesh.
  • an airfoil, or a first surface 10 of a turbine bucket is illustrated and intersects with a second surface 12 that is substantially perpendicular to the first surface 10 .
  • the intersection is generally referred to as a corner interface 14 .
  • a coating 16 is deposited proximate the corner interface 14 and may be applied in the form of a spray, for example.
  • the coating 16 comprises a plurality of particles, including but not limited to plasma.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are not limited to any particular type of spray device.
  • Some non-limiting examples of thermal spray methods include direct current (DC) plasma spray, vacuum plasma spray, suspension plasma spray (SPS), wire-arc spray, combustion/flame spray or high-velocity oxygen fuel thermal spray process (HVOF).
  • a mesh assembly 18 is disposed proximate the corner interface 14 prior to depositing the coating 16 .
  • the mesh assembly 18 functions as a dampening element, with respect to a kinetic energy possessed by particles of the coating 16 . Dampening of the kinetic energy reduces the tendency of the particles from ricocheting or deflecting away from the corner interface 14 , thereby resulting in stabilization of the particles as they are deposited and retention of the particles proximate the corner interface 14 , as a result of a more uniform energy distribution.
  • the mesh assembly 18 may be formed of various materials and includes a plurality of apertures 20 .
  • the density of the apertures 20 is dependent upon the particular application, and factors such as composition of the coating 16 and material of the corner interface 14 will influence how fine the mesh assembly 18 should be.
  • the mesh assembly 18 may be removable or consumable, as will be described in detail below. Whether the mesh assembly 18 is removable or consumable will influence what material is employed for the mesh assembly 18 .
  • Such materials include, but are not limited to, woven or braided materials formed from ceramics such as Silicon Carbide (SiC) ceramic oxides including, but not limited to, those oxides of Aluminum, Silicon, and Boron, various carbon based materials, polymers and metallic alloys.
  • the suitable material of the mesh assembly 18 will depend upon composition of the coating 16 and material of the corner interface 14 , but also upon whether the mesh assembly 18 is to be removable from the coating 16 or consumable within the coating 16 .
  • the mesh assembly 18 may be attached to the corner interface 14 in a variety of ways, including bonding or tacking the edges of the mesh assembly 18 to the corner interface 14 , for example.
  • the corner interface 14 is shown as an inner corner 22 arrangement, where the first surface 10 and the second surface 12 define an angle therebetween.
  • the angle between the first surface 10 and the second surface 12 is approximately 90 degrees, but it should be appreciated that numerous other angles are appropriate for use with the embodiments disclosed herein.
  • the corner interface 14 may include more than one mesh assembly 18 ( FIG. 2 ).
  • a plurality of mesh assemblies may be advantageous for a number or reasons, such as a desire to form a multi-layered coating 16 , for example.
  • a first mesh 24 and a second mesh 26 are shown.
  • a first coating layer may be deposited into the corner interface 14 and disposed between the corner interface 14 and the first mesh 24 .
  • a second coating layer is then deposited through the second mesh 26 and is therefore disposed between the first coating layer and the second mesh 26 .
  • a first mesh 24 and a second mesh 26 have been shown as an example and it is contemplated that any number of meshes may be employed to provide an ability to produce multiple coating layers.
  • the coating layers may be of the same or a distinct composition and may include gaps between them, depending on the mesh assembly 18 . Additional coating 16 features and advantages may be achieved by employing a split mesh assembly 28 ( FIG. 3 ), where a portion of the split mesh assembly 28 comprises a gap that allows the coating 16 to more freely enter the corner interface 14 , but still retains the coating 16 by positioning of the split mesh assembly 28 .
  • the first mesh 24 may be removable. By removable, it should be appreciated that the first mesh 24 is positioned and attached proximate the corner interface 14 ( FIG. 4 ) prior to depositing of the coating 16 .
  • the coating 16 is then deposited toward and through the first mesh 24 until a first coating layer 30 has been formed ( FIG. 5 ).
  • the first mesh 24 is then removed and the second mesh 26 , which is larger than the first mesh 24 in the illustrated example, is positioned and attached proximate the corner interface 14 ( FIG. 6 ) prior to depositing a second coating layer 32 .
  • the second coating layer 32 is then deposited toward and through the second mesh 26 ( FIG. 7 ). Subsequently, the second mesh 26 is removed and the multi-layer coating 16 remains within the corner interface 14 ( FIG. 8 ).
  • the mesh assembly 18 may alternatively or conjunctively comprise one or more consumable meshes.
  • consumable it should be appreciated that one or more meshes are positioned and attached proximate the corner interface 14 prior to depositing of the coating 16 , however, in contrast to the removable mesh, the consumable mesh is integrated with the coating 16 upon deposition of the coating onto and through the mesh assembly 18 .
  • the consumable mesh is consumed by, or integrated with, the coating 16 in a variety of ways. First, this may be accomplished by employing a mesh that is formed of a material that is of a compatible material makeup with the coating composition, such as a Silicon Carbide (SiC) mesh used in conjunction with a ceramic coating.
  • SiC Silicon Carbide
  • a process such as fusion of the mesh due to heat of a fusion active at the time of coating may be employed.
  • a process such as fusion of the mesh due to heat of a fusion active at the time of coating may be employed.
  • Such an example is the use of a carbon or polymer mesh with a hot vapor deposition or plasma coating particles.
  • the corner interface 14 is shown as an outer corner 34 arrangement, where the first surface 10 and the second surface 12 define an angle therebetween.
  • the angle between the first surface 10 and the second surface 12 is approximately 270 degrees, but it should be appreciated that numerous other angles are appropriate for use with the embodiments disclosed herein.
  • This configuration is in contrast to the inner corner 22 arrangement described above and merely illustrates the applicability of the method with various interfaces of differing alignments.
  • the outer corner 34 arrangement may be comprised of a continuous configuration ( FIG. 10 ) or a split configuration ( FIG. 11 ).
