Coated turbine component and method of coating a turbine component
View Patent ↗Turbine components with different types of coatings on different parts thereof are described. The coatings are chosen such that they are especially adapted to the thermal and corrosive conditions being present on the parts of the component during use. A method to coat a turbine component is also described.
1. A turbine component, comprising:
a root;
a neck;
a platform;
an airfoil; and
an outer surface and an inner surface in the airfoil defining cooling passages therethrough;
a first coating on outer surfaces of the root and neck and inner surface of airfoil;
a second coating on at least a portion of the first coating covering an area of the component;
a third coating on at least a portion of the first coating not covered by the second coating; and,
wherein the first, second and third coatings differ in composition from each other,
wherein the second coating is provided on at least a portion of the first coating on the neck, and wherein a third coating is provided on at least a portion of the first coating on the inner surface of the airfoil, the first, the second and the third coating being different in their composition, and
wherein the second coating also is provided on at least a portion of the first coating on the outer surface of the airfoil and on the first coating on at least a part of the platform.
2. The turbine component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first coating comprises Cr and the Cr of the first coating is diffused into the component.
3. The turbine component as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the Cr of the first coating is diffused by pack cementation or by chemical vapour deposition (CVD).
4. The turbine component as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first coating is a layer comprising 15 to 30 weight-% Cr or being 5 to 25 μm thick.
5. The turbine component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second coating comprises MCrAlY, M being Co or Ni or both.
6. The turbine component as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second coating further comprises Re, Si, Hf or Y.
7. The turbine component as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the second coating has a composition of
30 to 70 weight-% Ni,
30 to 50 weight-% Co,
15 to 25 weight-% Cr,
5 to 15 weight-% Al, and
up to 1 weight-% Y.
8. The turbine component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second coating is applied by thermal spray techniques such as a vacuum plasma spraying (VPS), low pressure plasma spraying (LPPS), high velocity ox-fuel spraying (HVOF), cold gas spraying (CGS) or by electroplating.
9. The turbine component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the third coating comprises Cr and Al, the third coating is a Al modified Cr coating, and the third coating is provided by diffusing Al into a chromized surface.
10. The turbine component as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the Al is diffused into the chromized surface by CVD or other methods such as above the pack (ATP).
11. The turbine component as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the third coating has a composition in an outer beta layer of between 15 to 30 weight-% Al and 5 to 15 weight-% Cr.
12. A turbine component, comprising:
a root;
a neck;
a platform;
an airfoil; and
an outer surface and an inner surface in the airfoil defining cooling passages therethrough:
a first coating on outer surfaces of the root and neck and inner surface of airfoil;
a second coating on at least a portion of the first coating covering an area of the component;
a third coating on at least a portion of the first coating not covered by the second coating; and,
wherein the first, second and third coatings differ in composition from each other, and
wherein the first coating is also on the outer surface of the airfoil and the second coating is provided on at least a portion of the first coating on the inner and on the outer surface of the airfoil and on at least a portion of the first coating on at least a part of the platform, the first and the second coating differing in their composition.
13. The turbine component as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the third coating is provided on at least a portion of the first coating on the neck, the first, the second and the third coating differing in their composition.
