Abstract: It is disclosed a method of depositing a seal coating and a seal system comprising at least two layers on the surface of an article. The upper or surface layer has a higher chromium activity than a bottom layer, to reduce a diffusion of cobalt and the formation of cobalt oxide is reduced. The coating of invention may be heat-treated to reduce or optimize the formation of cobalt oxide to sustain the wear property.

Abstract: A method of depositing a bond coating to a surface of an article includes the steps of depositing an inner layer of the bond coating consisting of ?-NiAl comprising Fe, Ga, Mo, B, Hf or Zr or ?/?-MCrAlY comprising Fe, Ga, Mo, B, Hf or Zr or ?/??- or ?-MCrAlY, and depositing an outer layer of the bond coating, which is more coarse the in the inner layer, consisting of ?-NiAl comprising Fe, Ga, Mo, B, Hf or Zr or ?/?-MCrAlY comprising Fe, Ga, Mo, B, Hf or Zr or ?/??- or ?-MCrAlY, wherein said elements Fe, Ga, Mo, B, Hf or Zr above mentioned are present individually or in combination. The coating also includes a noble metal selected from the group consisting of platinum, palladium and rhodium in the inner and outer layer or as a separate layer.

Abstract: A gas turbine component consists of a superalloy base material with a single crystal structure and a protective MCrAlY-coating (6). The MCrAlY-coating (6) has a g/g? single crystal structure, which is epitaxial with the base material. It has be determined the critical factors for the successful epitaxial and crack-free growth of the MCrAlY-coating (6).

Abstract: It is disclosed a method of deposting a seal coating and a seal system comprising at least two layers (3, 4) on the surface of an article (1). The upper or surface layer (4) has a higher chromium activity than a bottom layer (3) to reduce a diffusion of cobalt and the formation of cobalt oxide is reduced. The coating (2) of invention may be heat-treated to reduce or optimize the formation of cobalt oxide to sustin the wear property.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method of depositing a MCrAlY-coating (6) on the surface (5) of a single crystal (SX) or directionally solidified (DS) article (1). In a first step the article (1) is coated only at a local area by an electroplated method. In a second step the deposited MCrAlY-coating in single crystal form epitaxial with the base material of the article.

Abstract: It is disclosed a method of depositing a MCrAlY-coating (6) on the surface (5) of a single crystal (SX) or directionally solidified (DS) article (1), wherein the article (1) is coated only at a local area by an electroplated method.

Abstract: A method of depositing a layer (6) of highly oxidation and fatigue resistant MCrAlY-coating by an electroplated process has been described. A relative thin coating on an industrial gas turbine component was applied with a thickness control of ±20 &mgr;m of the thickness of the applied layer (6) on gas turbine articles (1). The said MCrAlY coatings comprise an addition of (wt.-%) 0.01 to 3% Fe. In addition to Fe the MCrAlY coatings may contain 0.5-2.5% Si, 0-1.5% Hf, 0.01-0.2% Zr and 0-2% Ta, alone or in combination.
