During operation, stationary blades and vanes of gas turbines are subjected to high thermal and mechanical stresses and severe oxidation. This situation can only be controlled by a composite approach in which the base material provides the necessary mechanical properties and coatings provide protection against oxidation, corrosion and, in the case of thermal barrier coatings, a part of the heat flux. For a better understanding of the oxidation processes on standalone MCrAIY overlays as well as MCr AIY used as a bond coat, in situ X-ray diffraction measurements of the formation and composition of the oxide scale at high temperatures are presented. The phase changes during oxide scale formation are discussed. Data are presented for MCrAlY coatings with 12%AI and 3%Re at three different temperatures versus time. At 950, 1000, and 1050°C a three phase oxide layer of Cr203‘ A1203, and NiCr2O4 was detectable. Rhenium could not be found in the oxide layer at any of the three temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
