Anti-fretting coating composition and coated components
An anti-fretting coating composition that is operationally stable at temperatures of 800° F. to 2650° F. is provided. The anti-fretting coating composition primarily includes cobalt and aluminum oxide and may also include other modifying phases that enhance the overall tribological performance. A component coated with the anti-fretting coating composition is also provided. The component includes a substrate having a first contact surface shaped to cooperate with a second contact surface of an abutting member in a manner which can develop wear between the first contact surface and the second contact surface. The first contact surface includes an anti-fretting coating thereon formed from the disclosed anti-fretting coating composition.
1. A component, comprising:
a substrate having a first contact surface shaped to cooperate with a second contact surface of an abutting member in a manner which can develop wear between the first contact surface and the second contact surface, each of the first contact surface and the second contact surface having an anti-fretting coating thereon formed from an anti-fretting coating composition having:
from 55 weight % to 80 weight % of cobalt;
from 20 weight % to 40 weight % of an aluminum-oxide powder;
from 5 weight % to 20 weight % of a viscoelasticity-modifying composition comprising a mixture of 25 weight % to 50 weight % calcium oxide, 10 weight % to 40 weight % aluminum oxide, and 20 weight % to 65 weight % silicon dioxide, wherein the viscoelasticity-modifying composition forms a phase within the anti-fretting coating.
2. The component of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of the anti-fretting coating composition further comprises from 1 weight % to 20 weight % of a tantalum-containing powder.
3. The component of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of the viscoelasticity-modifying composition further comprises iron oxide, titanium dioxide, or combinations thereof.
4. The component of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a nickel-based superalloy, a cobalt-based superalloy, or combinations thereof.
5. The component of claim 1 , wherein the substrate comprises a non-metallic substrate.
6. The component of claim 1 , wherein the anti-fretting coating composition is applied to the substrate via a plasma spray process, powder spray process, slurry spray process, or combinations thereof.
7. The component of claim 1 , wherein the anti-fretting coating has a thickness of from 0.5 mils to 20 mils.
8. The component of claim 1 , wherein one or more additional coatings are disposed on the substrate and are sandwiched between the substrate and the anti-fretting coating.
9. The component of claim 1 , wherein the component is suitable for use in an oxidizing atmosphere at a temperature of 800° F. to 2650° F.
10. The component of claim 1 , wherein the component is a gas turbine engine component.
11. The component of claim 10 , wherein the component is at least one of a nozzle, shroud, shroud hanger, pressure balance seal, low pressure turbine blade, high pressure turbine blade, or combustor component.
12. The component of claim 1 , wherein the mixture of the viscoelasticity-modifying composition further comprises one or more additives, the one or more additives including iron oxide, titanium dioxide, nickel oxide, boron oxide, or a combination thereof.
13. The component of claim 12 , wherein the one or more additives have a weight % that does not exceed 10 wt. % of a total weight of the mixture of the viscoelasticity-modifying composition.
