Heat treatment method
View Patent ↗A silicon resin is applied to the outer wall of the transition piece of a gas turbine subjected to the thermal barrier coating by caulking the cooling holes provided in the inner wall by a resin. Then, the transition piece is heated in an atmosphere furnace in order to burn or decompose the resin. A part of the silicon resin applied to the outer wall of the transition piece is decomposed or evaporated by the heating to be discharged to the atmosphere in the furnace, but a part of the silicon resin remains and protects the outer wall.
1. A heat treatment method for a transition piece of a combustor, comprising:
caulking holes provided in an inner wall with a resin, wherein said inner wall and an outer wall make up a wall portion of the transition piece of the combustor, said outer wall having holes communicating with said holes provided in said inner wall via grooves formed on an inside of said wall portion of the transition piece;
putting the transition piece, with the caulked holes in the inner wall, in a furnace; and
heating the transition piece in the furnace, wherein
the transition piece is heated together with a silicone resin at a temperature such that only a part of said silicone resin is discharged to the atmosphere in the furnace while completely removing the resin in said holes of the inner wall of the wall portion of the transition piece.
2. The heat treatment method for the transition piece of the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein
the transition piece having a surface applied with the silicon resin is put in the furnace, and then the transition piece is heated in the furnace.
3. The heat treatment method for the transition piece of the combustor according to claim 2 , wherein
the silicon resin being in a liquid state or a paste state is applied to the surface of the transition piece.
4. The heat treatment method for the transition piece of the combustor according to claim 2 , wherein
the silicon resin being in a mist state is sprayed to the surface of the transition piece to be applied thereon.
5. The heat treatment method for the transition piece of the combustor According to claim 1 , wherein
in the furnace, placing the silicon resin at a position around the transition piece so as not to contact with the transition piece, and then heating the transition piece together with the silicon resin.
6. The heat treatment method for the transition piece of the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein
an atmosphere in the furnace is equivalent to an ambient atmosphere.
7. The heat treatment method for the transition piece of the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein
a heating temperature in the furnace is equivalent to a temperature at which the silicon resin is decomposed or evaporated.
8. The heat treatment method for the transition piece of the combustor according to claim 1 , wherein
said resin provided in said holes of said inner wall is acryl-based, silicon-based or urethane-based.
