Abstract

Coatings as may be used in a gas turbine are provided. 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. 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.

Claims (55)

1. A nickel based coating consisting of:

15 to 40

weight percent of

cobalt,

10 to 23

weight percent of

chromium,

 5 to 15

weight percent of

aluminum,

0.05 to 1  

combined weight

yttrium and/or at least one of

percent of

elements from lanthanum series,

0.05 to 5  

weight percent of

ruthenium,

0 to 2

weight percent of

iridium,

0.05 to 5  

weight percent of

molybdenum,

0 to 3

weight percent of

silicon,

 0 to 20

weight percent of

iron

0 to 5

weight percent of

tantalum,

0 to 2

weight percent of

hafnium,

all percentages relative to a total weight of the coating,

and unavoidable impurities,

and a balance of nickel.

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

6. A coating layer according to claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the coating is in a range of 30 to 800 μm.

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

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

zirconium dioxide

and a stabilizer.

9. A coated superalloy component comprising:

an adherent coating layer system according to claim 8 .

10. The coating layer system according to claim 7 , wherein the stabilizer is at least one of yttrium oxide, magnesium oxide, and oxides of elements in lanthanum series.

11. A coated superalloy component comprising:

a substrate article formed of a superalloy and

an adherent coating according to claim 1 .

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