  • BILAYER PROTECTION COATING AND RELATED METHOD
    Publication number: 20120088121
    Abstract: A turbine component having a protective bilayer coating thereon comprising: a superalloy substrate; and a bilayer protective coating applied to the substrate wherein the bilayer protective coating comprises a first inner layer of platinum and aluminum; and a second outer oxidation-resistant layer applied over the first inner layer, the second outer layer comprising an MCrAlX alloy where M is selected from Fe, Ni and Co, and where X is yttrium or another rare earth element. A method of improving oxidation resistance of a Ni or Co-based superalloy turbine component comprising: depositing a bilayer protective coating on a turbine component by depositing a first inner platinum-aluminum layer on a surface of the turbine component; and depositing a second outer layer comprising an MCrAlX alloy over the first inner layer, wherein M is a metal selected from Fe, Ni and Co, and X is yttrium or another rare earth element.
