Abstract
A method of coating is described wherein a nickel-, cobalt- or iron-base alloy is provided with a oxidation and sulfidation-resistant coating by depositing, to a thickness greater than one micron but less than three microns, 90-97%, by weight, of a platinum group metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and iridium and 3-10%, by weight, of an active metal selected from the group consisting of Y, Hf and Zr onto the alloy and subsequently aluminizing the coated substrate.
Claims5
In a method of forming an oxidation- and sulfidation-resistant alloy coating on a nickel-base, cobalt-base or iron-base alloy gas turbine engine component wherein a platinum group metal is deposited on said alloy and then aluminized to diffuse both said aluminum and said platinum group metal into the surface thereof, the improvement which comprises, prior to aluminizing, depositing on said alloy a combination coating at least approximately one micron, but less than three microns thick, consisting essentially of 90-97%, by weight, platinum group metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, osmium and iridium and 3-10%, by weight, of an active metal selected from the group consisting of yttrium, hafnium and zirconium.
