  • Publication number: 20040224158
    Abstract: A process of coating a refractory turbine part with a protective coating which is ultimately diffusion bonded to the part. A slurry coating material is prepared from a mixture of a silicon alkyd paint and suspended particles of an aluminum or aluminum alloy powder. Parts may be dipped in the slurry and subsequently be heat treated in selected atmospheres and temperatures to diffuse the coating into the surface of the part.

  • Patent number: 5292594
    Abstract: The present invention is designed to improve a method of deposition of coatings upon a metal or alloy substrate. The coating comprises aluminum or aluminide material interdiffused with a transition metal deposited by chemical vapor deposition which utilizes organometallic precursors to facilitate the deposition of the transition metal. The improvement permits better control of the process and permits coating of complex substrates including those with internal passages or holes. In the embodiment involving a first deposition of aluminum or aluminide coating, applicants have achieved deposition thereon of the transition metal. Platinum is the preferred transition metal to be used in the subject method. A product is taught. This product can be a component from a gas turbine engine.

  • Patent number: 5156321
    Abstract: To repair or join sections of a metal article, matching metal powder is sintered in the solid state to form a porous structure in the joint. A layer of matching powder, modified to incorporate melting point depressants such as boron and silicon is subsequently added to the surface of the sintered region. The joint is processed at a temperature where the modified layer melts while the sintered layer and base metal remain solid. The modified material flows into the sintered layer by capillary action and promotes liquid phase sintering, resulting in a dense joint with properties approaching those of the base metal.
