Abstract
Known protective layers with a high Al and/or Cr content and additionally strengthened by Re form brittle phases which become more brittle during use under the influence of carbon. The protective layer according to the invention has the composition 0.5 to 2% rhenium, 24 to 26% cobalt, 15 to 21% chromium, 9 to 11.5% aluminum, 0.05 to 0.7% yttrium and/or at least one equivalent metal selected from the group consisting of scandium and the rare earth elements, 0 to 1% ruthenium, remainder cobalt and/or nickel and manufacturing-related impurities, and reveals scarcely any embrittlement caused by Cr/Re precipitates.
Claims8
A protective alloy layer for protecting a component against corrosion and oxidation at high temperatures, comprising:
- 0.5 to 2% rhenium (% by weight);
- 16 to 18% chromium (% by weight);
- 24 to 26% cobalt (% by weight);
- 9 to 11.5% aluminum (% by weight);
- 0.05 to 0.7% yttrium (% by weight) or a metal selected from the group consisting of:
- scandium and the rare earth elements;
- 0.0 to 1% ruthenium (% by weight);
- remainder nickel and manufacturing related impurities;
- and
- wherein the protective layer contains at most 6% by volume of chromium-rhenium precipitates, and the concentration of cobalt relative to the concentration of the other elements in the alloy suppresses the formation of a ý phase of the alloy thereby avoiding a peak in a coefficient of thermal expansion of the alloy.
A high temperature gas turbine engine component, comprising:
- a nickel or cobalt based super alloy substrate;
- and
- a corrosion and oxidation protection layer arranged on the substrate, comprising:
- 0.5 to 2% rhenium (% by weight),
- 16 to 18% chromium (% by weight);
- 24 to 26% cobalt (% by weight),
- 9 to 11.5% aluminum (% by weight),
- 0.05 to 0.7% yttrium (% by weight) or a metal selected from the group consisting of:
- scandium and the rare earth elements;
- 0.0 to 1% ruthenium (% by weight),
- remainder nickel and manufacturing related impurities;
- and,
- wherein the protective layer contains at most 6% by volume of chromium-rhenium precipitates, and the concentration of cobalt relative to the concentration of the other elements in the alloy suppresses the formation of a ý phase of the alloy thereby avoiding a peak in a coefficient of thermal expansion of the alloy.
