Abstract

The invention discloses an intermetallic material consisting of the following composition by weight percent: 10% Al, 22% Cr, 36% Co, 0.2% Y, 0.2% Hf, 2% Ta, 3% Fe, remainder Ni and inevitable impurities. The invention also describes its use as a layer protecting against high temperatures and at locations of thermal turbomachines which are subject to friction or vibration.

Claims (10)

1. An intermetallic material, consisting of the following composition, by weight percent: 12% Al, 22% Cr, 36% Co, 0.2% Y, 0.2% Hf, 3% Fe, remainder Ni and inevitable impurities.

2. An intermetallic material, consisting of the following composition, by weight percent: 10% Al, 22% Cr, 36% Co, 0.2% Y, 0.2% Hf, 2% Ta, 3% Fe, remainder Ni and inevitable impurities.

3. A method of using the intermetallic material as claimed in claim 1 , comprising steps of coating at least a portion of a thermal turomachine with the intermetallic material.

4. The method of using the intermetallic material as claimed in claim 1 , comprising steps of forming a felt comprising the intermetallic material on components which are subject to friction in thermal turbomachines.

5. The use method of using intermetallic felt as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the intermetallic felt is disposed on a rotor or stator.

6. The method of using the intermetallic felt as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the component is a turbine blade or vane, and the tip of the turbine blade or vane is provided with intermetallic felt.

7. The method of using the intermetallic felt as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the component is a turbine blade or vane and the platform of the turbine blade or vane is provided with the intermetallic felt.

8. The method of using the intermetallic felt as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the component is a heat shield segment made partially or completely from the intermetallic felt.

9. The method of using the intermetallic felt as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the intermetallic felt is covered with a ceramic material.

10. The method of using the intermetallic felt as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the felt is used on components which are subject to vibration in thermal turbomachines.
