Abstract

Coatings as may be used in a gas turbine are provided. A cobalt based coating may include 15 to 40 wt % nickel, 15 to 28 wt % chromium, 5 to 15 wt % aluminum, 0.05 to 1 wt % yttrium and/or at least one of elements from lanthanum series, 0.05 to 5 wt % ruthenium and/or molybdenum, 0 to 2 wt % iridium, 0 to 3 wt % silicon, 0 to 5 wt % tantalum, hafnium, unavoidable impurities, and a balance of cobalt. A nickel based coating may include 15 to 40 wt % cobalt, 10 to 25 wt % chromium, 5 to 15 wt % aluminum, 0.05 to 1 wt % yttrium and/or at least one of elements from lanthanum series, 0.05 to 8 wt % ruthenium or iron, 0 to 1 wt % iridium, 0.05 to 5 wt % molybdenum, 0 to 3 wt % silicon, 0 to 5 wt % tantalum, 0 to 2 wt % hafnium, unavoidable impurities, and a balance of nickel.

Claims (84)

1. A cobalt based coating consisting of:

all percentages relative to a total weight of the coating, unavoidable

impurities, and a balance of cobalt.

2. The coating according to claim 1 , containing 0.1 to 0.6 weight percent of silicon.

3. The coating according to claim 1 , containing 0.3 to 0.7 weight percent of tantalum.

4. The coating according to claim 1 , containing 0.1 to 0.5 weight percent of hafnium.

5. The coating according to claim 1 , wherein a content of sulfur is reduced to below 10 ppm (parts per million) by weight.

6. The coating according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the coating is between 30 and 800 μm.

7. A coating layer system comprising a lower first layer on a substrate and an adherent upper second layer, wherein the lower first layer is a coating according to claim 1 and the adherent upper second layer is a ceramic coating or multiple ceramic coatings.

8. The coating layer system according to claim 7 , wherein each of the ceramic coatings includes

zirconium dioxide

and a stabilizer.

9. The coating layer system according to claim 8 , wherein the stabilizer is at least one of yttrium oxide, magnesium oxide, and oxides of elements in lanthanum series.

10. A coated superalloy component comprising

a substrate article formed of a superalloy and

an adherent coating according to claim 1 .

11. The coated superalloy component according to claim 10 , wherein the superalloy component is a blade, a vane, or a sealing segment of a gas turbine's hot gas path.

12. A coated superalloy component comprising:

a substrate article formed of a superalloy;

a lower first layer on the substrate; and

an adherent upper second layer on the lower first layer,

wherein:

the lower first layer is a coating according to claim 1

the adherent second layer is a ceramic coating or multiple ceramic coatings; and

each of the ceramic coatings include zirconium dioxide and a stabilizer.

13. The coating of claim 1 , comprising greater than 0 weight percent and less than or equal to 2 weight percent of the iridium.

14. The coating of claim 1 , wherein the 0.05 to 1 combined weight percent of yttrium and/or at least one element from lanthanum series comprises 0.05 to 1 weight percent of the at least one element from the lanthanum series.

15. A cobalt based coating consisting of

15 to 40 weight percent of nickel,
