Abstract

This method is a method for manufacturing a gas turbine blade, including: producing a gas turbine blade having a cooling pass inside thereof; and partially coating an inner surface of the cooling pass with Al. The step of partially coating an inner surface of the cooling pass with Al further including: a first step of specifying a temperature range which satisfies both of oxidation resistance and fatigue strength and the temperature distribution of the inner surface of the cooling pass based on an examination result or result of a numerical analysis; a second step of setting an Al-coating-applying portion of the inner surface of the cooling pass as the temperature range specified at the first step; and a third step of applying Al coating only into the set Al-coating-applying portion.

Claims (17)

1. A method for manufacturing a gas turbine blade, comprising the steps of:

producing a gas turbine blade having a cooling pass inside thereof; and

partially coating an inner surface of the cooling pass with Al;

wherein the step of partially coating an inner surface of the cooling pass with Al comprising:

a sample-substrates-preparing step of preparing a sample substrate A which comprises same composition of an actual machine of the gas turbine blade and preparing a sample substrate B which is applied an Al coating to the sample substrate A;

a first step of specifying a temperature range which satisfies both of oxidation resistance and fatigue strength based on an examination result of a temperature dependency of each of the oxidation resistance and fatigue strength of each of the sample substrates A and B, and further specifying the temperature distribution of the inner surface of the cooling pass based on an examination result or result of a numerical analysis;

a second step of setting an Al-coating-applying portion of the inner surface of the cooling pass as the temperature range specified at the first step; and

a third step of applying Al coating only into the set Al-coating-applying portion.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the third step further comprising the steps of:

filling the cooling path with Al pack powder which comprises Al powder or Al alloy powder and powder of an adsorbable metal oxide;

heating the turbine blade in argon gas at 700 to 1000° C.; and

cooling the turbine blade and removing the adsorbable metal oxide in the cooling path.

3. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the adsorbable metal oxide is filled into an Al-coating-unapplying portion of the inner surface of the cooling pass, which is not the Al-coating-applying portion.

4. The method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the metal oxide is any one selected from the group consisting of Al 2 O 3 , MgO and CaO.
