Process for coating articles and articles made therefrom
View Patent ↗In one embodiment, a coated turbine article comprising a uniform enhanced coating on at least a portion of the turbine article, wherein the enhanced coating comprises a coating material and a structural enhancer, wherein the structural enhancer is selected from the group consisting of oxide, carbide, nitride, intermetallic material, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing, wherein the structural enhancer has an average particle size, as measured along a major axis, of about 0.01 μm to about 100 μm.
1. A coated article, comprising:
an enhanced coating on at least a portion of the article,
wherein the enhanced coating comprises a coating material, a first structural enhancer, and a second structural enhancer;
wherein the first structural enhancer comprises an intermetallic compound consisting of two or more metals, and
the second structural enhancer comprises an oxide selected from the group consisting of alumina, zirconia, silica, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing oxides, and
wherein the first structural enhancer and the second structural enhancer has an average particle size, as measured along a major axis, of about 1.0 μm to about 50 μm.
2. The article of claim 1 , wherein the average particle size is about 5 μm to about 25 μm.
3. The article of claim 1 , wherein the coating material comprises MCrAlY, wherein M is selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt, iron, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing.
4. The article of claim 3 , wherein the coating material further comprises an element selected from the group consisting of silicon, ruthenium, iridium, osmium, gold, silver, tantalum, palladium, rhenium, hafnium, platinum, rhodium, tungsten, alloys comprising at least one of the foregoing, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing.
5. The article of claim 3 , wherein the coating material further comprises an element selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, iridium, osmium, gold, silver, tantalum, palladium, rhenium, platinum, rhodium, tungsten, alloys comprising at least one of the foregoing, and combinations comprising at least one of the foregoing.
6. The article of claim 1 , wherein the oxide comprises alumina.
