Abstract: Method of improving the tribological and erosive wear resistance of yankee dryer drums including coating the drum with an iron alloy containing from about 20 to about 47 weight per cent chromium, about 2.5 to about 6.5 weight per cent boron, about 1.7 to about 2.7 weight per cent silicon, and less than about 8 weight per cent molybdenum. The coated yankee dryer drum is long wearing based on the hardness of the coating and smooth wearing as the coating has a consistent composition through its depth at the outset and over time.
Abstract: Aluminizing process guide roll are made longer wearing without surface defects by applying a multilayer coating on the roll surface including a first coating layer of MCrAlY metal of a first, lower porosity effective against corrosion, and a second coating layer of refractory oxide of a second higher porosity effective against surface defect failure generated thermal expansion failure of the layer.
