  • Publication number: 20230340276
    Abstract: Hexavalent chromium-free slurry formulations which are suitable in the production of inorganic overlay coating systems are described. The formulations provide superior hot corrosion and high-temperature oxidation protection for superalloy substrates. A basecoat slurry and topcoat slurry are provided. The basecoat slurry includes an aluminum phosphate based aqueous solution having a molar ratio of Al:P higher than about 1:3 with the incorporation of pigments of either metallic particles, or metal oxide particles, or both in combination. The topcoat slurry includes an aluminum phosphate based aqueous solution having a molar ratio of Al:P higher than about 1:3. An inorganic overlay coating formed on substrate made from the slurry formulation of present invention for hot corrosion protection on superalloy substrate against hot corrosion.
