Corrosion Inhibiting Coating Composition Patents (Class 106/14.05)
  • Patent number: 7722710
    Abstract: A surface-conditioning composition can form a denser phosphate coating film having more satisfactory coating weight on the surface of a metal material compared to a conventional one and, therefore, can reduce the electrolytic corrosion of a metal material during a chemical conversion treatment, form a chemical conversion coating film having a satisfactory coating weight even when applied to a hardly convertible metal material (e.g., an aluminum metal material, a high tensile strength steel plate), improve the productivity rate of the chemical conversion treatment, resulting in the reduction of the time required for the chemical conversion treatment, and enables a metal phosphate particle to be dispersed in a surface-conditioning solution highly stably. This composition includes a particle of a phosphate of a bivalent or trivalent metal and has a pH value ranging from 3 to 12. The particle has a D50 value of 3 ?m or less.

  • Publication number: 20090163628
    Abstract: Corrosion-inhibiting pigments based on cobalt are described that contain a trivalent or tetravalent cobalt/valence stabilizer complex. An inorganic or organic material is used to stabilize the trivalent or tetravalent cobalt ion to form a compound that is sparingly soluble in water. Specific stabilizers are chosen to control the release rate of trivalent or tetravalent cobalt during exposure to water and to tailor the compatibility of the powder when used as a pigment in a chosen binder system. Stabilizers may also modify the processing and handling characteristics of the formed powders. Cobalt/valence stabilizer combinations are chosen based on the well-founded principles of cobalt coordination chemistry. Many cobalt-valence stabilizer combinations are presented that can equal the performance of conventional hexavalent chromium systems.

  • Patent number: 7534290
    Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a method for forming a corrosion resistant thermal barrier coating material includes steps of blending indium oxide with at least one hydrate forming oxide to form a mechanical mixture, heating the mechanical mixture to a sufficiently high temperature to form an indate precursor, and blending the indate precursor with at least one non-hydrate forming oxide to form a co-stabilized mixture. In one embodiment, the co-stabilized mixture can be changed into an APS powder by using a powder forming method. In another embodiment, the co-stabilized mixture can be formed into a desired shape and heated to form an EB-PVD ingot.

  • Publication number: 20090098394
    Abstract: A corrosion resistant tape coating for gas turbine engine includes a glassy ceramic matrix wherein the glassy matrix is silica-based, and includes corrosion resistant particles selected from refractory particles and non-refractory MCrAlX particles, and combinations thereof. The corrosion resistant particles are substantially uniformly distributed within the matrix, and provide the coating with corrosion resistance. Importantly the coating of the present invention has a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) greater than that of alumina at engine operating temperatures. The CTE of the coating is sufficiently close to the substrate material such that the coating does not spall after frequent engine cycling at temperatures above 1200° F.
