Coating system and substrate with coating system
A wear-reducing coating system for a substrate includes an innermost layer disposed on a substrate and an outermost layer disposed on the innermost layer. The innermost layer has higher load-carrying capacity than the outermost layer and the outermost layer has a lower coefficient of friction than the innermost layer. A method of applying a wear-reducing coating to a substrate and a method of applying a coating to a split ring casing for a high pressure compressor are also disclosed.
1 . A wear-reducing coating system for a substrate, comprising:
an innermost layer disposed on a substrate;
an outermost layer disposed on the innermost layer, wherein the innermost layer has higher load-carrying capacity than the outermost layer and the outermost layer has a lower coefficient of friction than the innermost layer; and
wherein the substrate is a split ring casing of a high pressure compressor for a gas turbine engine.
2 . The coating system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one intermediate layer between the innermost layer and the outermost layer.
3 . The coating system of claim 1 , wherein the innermost layer is thicker than the outermost layer.
4 . The coating system of claim 1 , where in the substrate is a titanium alloy.
5 . The coating system of claim 1 , wherein the substrate includes a slot, and the coating system is disposed in the slot.
6 . The coating system of claim 5 , wherein the slot is configured to receive a seal.
7 . The coating system of claim 6 , wherein the seal is a steel alloy.
8 . A method of applying a wear-reducing coating to a substrate, comprising:
depositing an innermost layer on a substrate;
depositing an outermost layer on the innermost layer by atomic layer deposition, wherein the innermost layer has a higher load-carrying capacity than the outermost layer and the outermost layer has a lower coefficient of friction than the innermost layer; and
wherein the substrate is a split ring casing of a high pressure compressor for a gas turbine engine.
9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising depositing at least one intermediate layer between the innermost layer and the outermost layer.
10 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the innermost layer is deposited by atomic layer deposition.
11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the innermost layer is thicker than the outermost layer after the depositing.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the innermost layer is deposited by electrodeposition or chemical vapor deposition.
13 . The method of claim 8 , where in the substrate is a titanium alloy.
14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the substrate includes a slot, and the depositing is in the slot.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the slot is configured to receive a seal.
16 . A method of applying a coating to a split ring casing for a high pressure compressor, comprising:
depositing a coating onto a split ring casing for a high pressure compressor by atomic layer deposition, the split ring casing including at least one slot configured to receive a seal, wherein the coating is deposited in the slot, the coating including a layer of a solid lubricant.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the coating includes an outermost layer and an innermost layer, wherein the outermost layer has lower friction than the innermost layer and the innermost layer has higher hardness than the outermost layer, and the solid lubricant provides the outermost layer.
18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the split ring casing is a titanium alloy, and wherein the seal is a steel alloy.
19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the solid lubricant is one of tungsten sulfide, molybdenum sulfide, zinc titanate, titanium nitride, or combinations thereof.
