The basic method of surface protection for aviation engine components manufactured from nickel super alloys is diffusion aluminization. There are four methods of forming aluminide coatings: pack cementation, above the pack, slurry, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The aluminide coatings are modified with various elements, e.g. Pt, Pd, Hf, Zr, Si, Cr, Y, etc. The paper show results of experiments on the use of electrochemical processes in which the modifying elements are introduced in the form of powder for galvanic bath. These processes have been combined with low-activity and high-activity aluminization, as well as zircon doping in the CVD process. It has been shown that the aluminide coatings formed in the high-activity process are characterized by Al>50% at. content. The aluminide coatings formed in the low-activity process were composed of an outer zone composed of a NiAl phase with an aluminum content <50% at. and the diffusion zone. The aluminide coatings formed during low-activity zircon doping have similar structure. The content of elements introduced with nickel was low (up to several %), which does provide for a desired increase in heat resistance of the modified coatings.

Aluminiowanie dyfuzyjne jest podstawowym procesem wprowadzonym do ochrony powierzchni elementów części gorącej silników lotniczych wytwarzanych z nadstopów niklu. Warstwy aluminidkowe wytwarzane są w procesach: kontaktowo-gazowym (ang. pack cementation), gazowym bezkontaktowa (ang. above the pack), zawiesinowowym (ang. slurry) i chemicznym osadzaniu z fazy gazowej CVD (ang. Chemical Vapour Deposition). Warstwy aluminidkowe dla zwiększenia ich żaroodporności modyfikowane są pierwiastkami m.in. Pt, Pd, Hf, Zr, Si, Cr, Y. W artykule przedstawiono analizę wyników badań warstw aluminidkowych, w których pierwiastki modyfikujące wprowadzono w postaci proszku do kąpieli galwanicznej w trakcie procesu niklowania. Procesy te połączono z aluminiowaniem nisko- i wysokoaktywnym, a także cyrkono-aluminiowaniem w procesie CVD. Wykazano, że warstwy aluminidkowe wytworzone w procesie wysokoaktywnym charakteryzują się zawartością Al >50% at. W warstwie aluminidkowej wytworzonej w procesie niskoaktywnym wyodrębniono strefę zewnętrzną - kryształów fazy NiAl o zawartości Al <50% at. oraz strefę dyfuzyjną. Zbliżoną budowę miały warstwy aluminidkowe wytworzone w trakcie cyrkono-aluminiowania niskoaktywnego. Stwierdzono małe zawartości pierwiastków wprowadzanych wraz z niklem (do kilku %).

In the paper the comparison of open porosity measurement results of ceramic topcoats in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was presented. TBCs were produced by Air Plasma Spraying (APS) method and were consisted of two coatings – an outer ceramic topcoat and metallic MeCrAlY bond coat deposited onto surface of René80 Ni-based superalloy. For deposition of ceramic coatings Metco 201 B NS, Metco 204 NS and Metco 210 powders were used whereas for deposition of metallic bond coat AMDRY 365-1 MeCrAlY powder was used. Both types of coatings were deposited using Thermico A60 plasma gun. The microstructure investigations of cross-sections of produced TBC’s were carried out using Hitachi S-3400N scanning electron microscope. Qualitative image analysis of microstructure of produced TBCs as well as analysis of percentage of pores surface area content AA was performed. The evaluation of porosity in ceramic topcoat was carried out by image analysis using MeTilo v.12.1 quantitative software.

Aluminide coating were deposited on pure nickel and hafnium-doped nickel superalloys Mar M247, Mar M200 and CMSX 4 by means of the CVD method. All coatings consisted of two layers: an outer, comprising the β-NiAl phase and the interdiffusion one. The interdiffusion layer on pure nickel consisted of the γ′-Ni3Al phase and of the NiAl phase on superalloys. MC and M23C6 carbides besides the NiAl phase were found in the interdiffusion zones on Mar M247 and Mar M200, whereas topologically close-packed phases, such as the TCP σ-phase and the R phase were found in the interdiffusion zone on CMSX 4. Coatings on substrates containing more hafnium (Mar M247 and Mar M200) were more resistant to degradation during the cyclic oxidation. The amount of 1.5–1.8 wt.% hafnium in the substrate let to the HfO2 ‘pegs’ formation in the oxide scale during oxidation of aluminized Mar M247 and Mar M200 superalloys. The improvement of lifetime of coated CMSX 4 superalloy was obtained by platinum modification. Platinum decreased diffusion of alloying elements such as Ti and Ta from the substrate to the coating and oxide scale, stabilized the NiAl phase and delayed the NiAl → Ni3Al phase transformation.
Titanium alloys based on the γ -TiAl intermetallic phase are a type of material which may replace nickel supperalloys in high temperature applications. Not enough resistance to corrosion at temperatures above 900°C remains the biggest limitation in industrial practices. The paper presents results of preliminary research into application of new type heat resistant coatings on the basis of γ -TiAl alloy. MeCrAlY and Si coatings were formed by pack cementation method. Aluminide coatings were deposited by pack cementation method and VPA. Research results have shown that except for the coating formed by VPA, coatings were characterized by high porosity and therefore would not ensure appropriate protection against oxidation. Further research will be necessary into application of the VPA method in protecting γ-TiAl titanium alloys in order to improve their heat resistance.

Stopy na osnowie fazy międzymetalicznej γ-TiAl stanowią materiał, który może stanowić zamiennik nadstopów niklu w aplikacjach wysokotemperaturowych. Nadal największym ograniczeniem w ich przemysłowym zastosowaniu jest niewystarczająca odporność na utlenianie w temperaturze powyzej 900°C. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki wstępnych badań nad zastosowaniem nowych rodzajów powłok żaroodpornych na podłożu stopu γ-TiAl. Wytworzono powłoki MeCrAlY oraz Si metodą zawiesinową a także powłoki aluminidkowe metodą pack cementation oraz VPA. Wyniki badań wykazały że poza powłoką wytworzoną metodą VPA pozostałe charakteryzowały się dużą porowatością przez co nie moga zapewnić odpowiedniej ochrony przed utlenianiem. Wskazano na konieczność dalszych badań nad zastosowaniem metody VPA do ochrony stopów tytanu γ-TiAl w celu poprawy ich żaroodporności.

Aluminiowanie metodą CVD należy do najbardziej zaawansowanych procesów obróbki powierzchniowej łopatek turbin gazowych i silników lotniczych. Rosnące znaczenie dyfuzyjnych warstw aluminidkowych jako międzywarstw dla powłokowych barier cieplnych (TBC) determinuje prowadzenie badań nad opracowaniem warstw zapewniających najlepszą możliwą przyczepność tworzącej się warstwy tlenku aluminium w powłokach TBC z warstwami ceramicznymi osadzanymi metodami LPPS lub EB- -PVD. W badaniach jako materiał podłoża zastosowano czysty nikiel (jako materiał modelowy) oraz żarowytrzymały stop niklu MAR M200 + Hf. W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań wpływu warunków prowadzenia wysokoaktywnego procesu CVD na mikrostrukturę i skład chemiczny powstaj ącej warstwy aluminidkowej. Proces wytwarzania prowadzono w urządzeniu Bernex BPX Pro 325S z zastosowaniem dodatkowych granul Al-Cr umieszczonych w wewnętrznym generatorze jako wysokotemperaturowe źródło aluminium. W trakcie prób zmianie podlegała temperatura oraz czas aluminiowania. Przepływ gazów, tj. chlorowodoru i wodoru dla wszystkich procesów był stały. W przeprowadzonych badaniach stwierdzono nietypowy mechanizm tworzenia się i wzrostu dyfuzyjnej warstwy aluminidkowej, który ma charakter pośredni pomiędzy modelem wysokoaktyvvnym a niskoaktywnym. Badania mikrostruktury warstwy aluminidkowej wytworzonej na podłożu czystego niklu wykazały obecność trzech charakterystycznych stref. Wydłużenie czasu oraz wzrost temperatury spowodował znaczne zwiększenie grubości dyfuzyjnej warstwy aluminidkowej. Badania mikrostruktury Warstwy aluminidkowej wytworzonej na podłożu stopu MAR M200 + Hf w tym samym czasie procesu przy zróżnicowanej temperaturze wykazały ich odmienną budowę. Mechanizm wzrostu warstwy aluminidkowej jest zależny od zawartości aluminium w źródle (granule Al-Cr).

Aluminizing process by CVD method belong to the most advanced surface treatment processes of gas turbine and aircraft engine blades. Growing application of aluminides diffusion layers as bond coat for thermal barrier coatings (TBC) cause more and more researches directed on finding layer which can ensure the best possible adhesion between bond coat and top coat in the TBC system formed by LPPS or EB-PVD. In the study pure nickel and high-temperature nickel-based superalloy MAR M200 + Hf were used as initial substrate materials. In the research results of various CVD aluminizing process parameters infiuence on microstructure and chemical composition of created aluminides coatings was presented with in-depth analysis. The aluminizing process was carried out in Brenex BPX Pro 325S machine with addition ofAl-Cr granules contained in the internal generator as a high-temperature source of aluminum. During the research different temperature and time of aluminizing were applied. The flow of gases such as hydrogen chloride and pure hydrogen for all processes was constant. During the study an unusual mechanism of aluminides diffusion layer creation and growth has been observed, which has an intermediate characteristics between low-activity and high-activity models. Microstructure observation of aluminides layer formed on pure nickel substrate showed three characteristic zones. Extension of time and increase in temperature resulted in a significant increase of the diffusion layer depth. Microstructure observation of aluminides layer formed on MAR M200 + Hfwith the same process time at different temperature showed their distinct structure. Aluminides layer growth mechanism is dependent on the aluminum content in the source material (granules Al-Cr).
W artykule przedstawiono wpływ długotrwałego wyżarzania dyfuzyjnych warstw aluminidkowych w próżni na ich mikrostrukturę, grubość, skład chemiczny i fazowy. W badaniach użyto próbek z żarowytrzymałego stopu niklu MAR M200 + Hf, które poddano aluminiowaniu oraz cyrkono-aluminiowaniu metodą chemicznego osadzania z fazy gazowej CVD. Wyżarzanie prowadzono w piecu próżniowym pod ciśnieniem 10–3 Pa w temperaturze 1020°C przez 12, 16 i 20 godzin. Przeprowadzone próby wyżarzania dyfuzyjnego próbek ze stopu MAR M200 + Hf z warstwą aluminidkową wykazały duże zmiany zachodzące w ich mikrostrukturze. Zachodziły one w następującej kolejności: – po 12 h wyżarzania zaobserwowano początek koagulacji wydzieleń w strefie dyfuzyjnej, – po 16 h doszło do dalszej koagulacji wydzieleń w strefie dyfuzyjnej oraz niewielkiego zmniejszenia stężenia aluminium w powłoce (o ok. 1%); stwierdzono niewielki wzrost grubości całkowitej warstwy, – po 20 h wyżarzania zaszły duże zmiany w mikrostrukturze warstwy; zubożenie obszaru przypowierzchniowego w aluminium do ok. 24% at., poniżej zawartość aluminium rosła do ok 30%; poszerzenie strefy dyfuzyjnej, która dominuje w budowie warstwy, rozpuszczenie niektórych wydzieleń; zawartość Al w pobliżu podłoża – ok 24% at. Przeprowadzone badania wykazały, że w pierwszej kolejności przemianie podlega strefa dyfuzyjna, a następnie dochodzi do zmian w strefie zewnętrznej zbudowanej początkowo z fazy β-NiAl, w tym utworzenia fazy Ni3Al.

The paper presents the influence of long-term annealing on simple and Zr-modified aluminide coatings. The base material was MAR M-200 nickel superalloy. The aluminide coating was deposited in low-activity chemical vapour deposition process. The samples (14 mm diameter) were annealed at 1020°C in vacuum for 12, 16 and 20 hours respectively. The tests of diffusion annealing showed significant changes in microstructure of the samples. The order of changes was as follows: – after the 12-hour-long annealing process initial coagulation of precipitates in the diffusion zone was observed, – after the 16-hour-long annealing process there was observed further coagulation of precipitates and a small decrease in aluminum concentration in the coating (by approx. 1%). A small increase in thickness of the coating was also noted, – after the 20-hour-long annealing process extensive changes in microstructure of the coating were observed. The increasing of external zone thickness was observed. The presence of grains with lower Al amount was detected. It suggest the presence of Ni3Al phase in the coating. The very low amount of Zr had not influence on changes in modified aluminide coating during annealing.

Purpose: In this paper the results of high temperature cyclic oxidation tests of the protective diffusion coatings were presented. One of the main purposes of this work was to produce three different types of protective coatings by three different methods, i.e. slurry method, vapour phase aluminizing (VPA) and chemical vapour deposition (CVD), applied on nickel based Rene 80 superalloy substrate. Design/methodology/approach: The high temperature cyclic oxidation tests were carried out in 23h cycles at constant temperature 1100°C using Carbolite CWF 1300 chamber furnace. The samples were removed outside and were weighted after each cycle. The microstructure investigations of all kinds of the coatings were conducted by the use of light microscope (Nikon Epiphot 300) and a scanning electron microscope (Hitachi S-3400N). In the analysis influence of each method have been taken into consideration, i.e. especially influence of the kind of process on microstructure, coating thickness, chemical composition, first of all aluminium content (in outer β-NiAl layer so-called additive layer, diffusion layer and substrate). For the chemical composition examination x-ray energy dispersive (EDS) method was applied using Thermo equipment. Findings: It was found that the best high cyclic oxidation resistance of coating was obtained using CVD method (the maximal increase of samples weight after 28th cycle was observed, whereas in case of the slurry sample after 3rd and VPA after 5th). Research limitations/implications: The research results will be used in the future in order to increase coating thickness, aluminium content and to produce Pt, Pd, Zr, Hf and Si modified aluminide coatings. Practical implications: The CVD method will be used to coat internal passages of turbine blades, for example to produce modified aluminide bond coats on single crystal nickel based superalloys. Originality/value: Chemical vapour deposition is an unique method which is a “pure method” and allows to coat hardly accessible locations/areas.

Purpose: The present work relates to investigations about the possibility of recycling and producing sinters from ceramic molds. These molds are applied for producing precise single crystal casts of nickel based superalloys to elements witch are applied to the hot section of aircraft jet engines. Design/methodology/approach: The processes of milling were carried out using the vibratory mill Herzog HSM 100H and the planetary grinder Pulverisette 7 - Fritsch Company. The measurements of all kinds of powders were conducted by using of the Kamika IPS U Analyzer and Malvern Nanosizer-ZS. To the purpose of analysis of the chemical composition an X-ray microanalysis technique was applied with the dispersion of the energy (EDS) using of Thermo and Noran equipment. Findings: On the basis of examinations carried out on the powders before and after processes of milling and after processes of pressing and sintering of powders, it is possible to state that technological processes of reuse and further applying of used molds are possible. Processes of pressing were conducted applying different amounts of powders. Powders were pressed both without the addition as well as with the addition of modifiers which were added to basic powder in appropriate amounts. It was found that processes of pressing and sintering in both cases showed good results. Surfaces of pressed and sintered tablets were smooth and not-delaminated as well as did not shell. Research limitations/implications: Results will be used for future researches among others concerning the research on mechanical and thermal properties. Practical implications: Waste products and their reuse, recycling and especially consolidation of dangerous and hazardous compounds including of ceramic materials from foundry industry, will have an important place in the future on account of problems with their recycling and the storage. Originality/value: Researches on new possibilities of the application and properties of waste materials.

Purpose: This work presents the results of microstructure investigations which were carried out on Ni-base Rene 80 polycrystalline superalloy. Design/methodology/approach: Polycrystalline cast rods have been used in the studies. The heat treatment processes were conducted in ALD High Temperature Vacuum Furnace at 1204°C for 2 h, in Ar atmosphere followed by cooling to room temperature. The aluminizing processes were conducted by use of CVD method on as cast samples and after homogenizing-solution annealing. The diffusion low activity aluminide coatings have been produced using the CVD IonBond BPXPR0325S apparatus at various temperatures, for 4 h and applying different values of: flow rate of HCl through the outer AlCl3 generator and pressure in main retort in H2 atmosphere. The microstructure investigations were conducted using scanning electron microscope. To the purpose of analysis of the chemical composition an X-ray microanalysis technique was applied with the dispersion of the energy (EDS) using of Thermo and Noran equipment. Findings: It was found that samples without heat treatment had the typical cast microstructure with many areas of the y-y’ eutectic, after heat treatment process the microstructure was homogenized, i.e. the eutectic y-y’ has been dissolved, MC-type carbides were precipitated on the grain boundaries and the chemical composition was balanced. It was found also that after homogenizing heat treatment the samples had the thicker coating and had more homogenous additive and diffusion layer than the samples with as-cast microstructure. Research limitations/implications: Results will be used for further steps which will consist of CVD process and other different heat treatment. Practical implications: This CVD method will be used in the future for the production of modified aluminide bond coats on single crystal Ni-base superalloys underlying the ceramic EB-PVD or LPPS top coatings. Originality/value: In the future the production of chemical vapor deposited platinum (or Pd, Zr, Hf) aluminide diffusion coatings on nickel base superalloy substrate are planned.
