Abstract

A turbomachine component of a stationary turbomachine includes a substrate made of high alloyed 10% to 18% chromium steels or titanium alloys or nickel base alloys or cobalt base alloys with a substrate surface and an erosion and corrosion resistant coating system. The coating system includes a first layer, which is deposited on the substrate surface of the turbomachine component and acts as a corrosion resistant layer and a second layer. The second layer is deposited on the first layer and acts as an erosion resistant layer, wherein the first layer is a Zr single layer and the second layer is a W/WC multilayer.

Claims (17)

1. A turbomachine component of a stationary turbomachine, comprising:

a substrate made of high alloyed 10% to 18% chromium steels or titanium alloys or nickel base alloys or cobalt base alloys with a substrate surface; and

an erosion and corrosion resistant coating system including:

a first layer deposited on the substrate surface of said turbomachine component as a corrosion resistant layer; and

a second layer deposited on said first layer as an erosion resistant layer, wherein said first layer is a single layer consisting of Zr having a thickness of 3-10 μm and said second layer consists of a W/WC multilayer.

2. The turbomachine component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said component is a compressor blade or vane of a gas turbine, comprising an airfoil with a leading edge and a trailing edge, and that said second layer is provided at the leading edge.

3. The turbomachine component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first layer has a thickness, which is smaller than the thickness of said second layer.

4. The turbomachine component as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said first layer has a thickness of 3-10 μm, and that the second layer has a thickness of 15-23 μm.

5. The turbomachine component as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said second layer comprises 10 or more alternating sublayers of W and WC.

6. The turbomachine component as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said second layer comprises 10 sublayers of W and 10 sublayers of WC with 0.75 to 1.25 μm thickness each.

7. A method for manufacturing a turbomachine component, comprising:

a) providing the component with a substrate made of high alloyed 10% to 18% chromium steels or titanium alloys or nickel base alloys or cobalt base alloys having a substrate surface;

b) depositing on said substrate surface said first, corrosion resistant layer, wherein the layer is deposited as a single layer coating consisting of Zr having a thickness of 3-10 μm,

c) depositing on said first corrosion resistant layer said second, erosion resistant layer, wherein the second layer consists of a W/WC multilayer coating, thereby using said first layer as a bond coat.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein W and WC single layers or sublayers of equal thickness are alternating deposited until an overall thickness of the multilayer of 15-23 μm is achieved.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the deposition of each of the first layer and the second layer is done by magnetron sputtering.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the deposition of each of the first layer and the second layer is done by gas flow sputtering based on a hollow cathode glow discharge in combination with a directed gas flow.
