Evaluation of the hot-corrosion behavior of thermal barrier coatings

Abstract: : In order to assess the sulfidation resistance of thermal barrier coatings for marine gas turbines, ceramic materials used in the coatings were exposed to molten sodium sulfate for periods up to 1000 hours and the coatings themselves were burner rig tested at high salt levels. The ceramics (stabilized zirconias) were found to be resistant to sulfidation attack while the graded metal/ceramic coatings were resistant to attack and were protective to the substrate alloys only when very adherent. It was also shown that coatings with a high metallic content performed well in this respect, while still providing significant thermal insulation. Tests with hollow, air-cooled, coated specimens indicated that a sufficiently high external surface temperature can retard sulfidation attack at lower temperature interior coating sites.

Initial Work on the Application of Protective Coatings to Marine Gas Turbine Components by High-Rate Sputtering

Abstract: Gas turbines operated in the marine environment are limited in life and performance by sulfidation or hot-corrosion. Protective coatings deposited by sputtering appear to have the potential of significantly increasing engine life over that obtained with current coatings produced by other techniques. The sputtering process and its application to coating hot section components is the subject of this paper. Two programs are described. In one, metallic overlay coatings of the CoCrAlY type were deposited by dc triode sputtering. Deposition conditions were determined which resulted in adherent, crack-free coatings with a fine grained structure. Platinum diffusion barrier layers were also investigated. Sputtering apparatus suitable for coating turbine blades and vanes was constructed. The other program utilized supported discharge radio frequency sputtering to deposit zirconia coatings, which were intended to serve a thermal barrier function as well as a corrosion resistant one. Graded composition interlayers were investigated as a means of improving the compatibility of the zirconia coating with superalloys.Copyright © 1974 by ASME

Dual release agent cu-viton fuser

Abstract: A contact fuser assembly for use in an electrostatic reproducing apparatus including an internally heated fuser roll structure comprising a rigid or non-deformable, thermally conductive core capable of interacting with a material applied thereto in such a manner as to form a thermally-stable interfacial coating intermediate the surface of the core and a release coating also formed thereon. The interfacial coating strongly adheres to the core surface and prevents toner material from contacting the outer surface of the core. The combined coatings have a sub-micron thickness and therefore present a minimal thermal barrier to the energy being conducted outwardly by the core. The interfacial coating is provided by a thermally degradable substance with polyethylene and the release coating comprises a low viscosity silicone oil.

Method of making thermal barrier lineal metal shapes

Abstract: A method of making a thermal barrier lineal metal shape wherein metal lineal shapes are extruded or otherwise formed to accept an insulating barrier previously formed in such a shape as to fit the metal lineal shapes. The insulating barrier is joined with the metal shapes by mechanical means to form a composite single-piece thermal break construction shape. Dimensional tolerances are essential.
