  • Patent number: 7998581
    Abstract: A solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coating has a solid particle erosion resistance that is largely enhanced and a rotating member having the coating gains oxidation resistance without deteriorating a fatigue strength. Also, a rotating machine can have this coating applied thereto. The solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coating has a nitrided hard layer formed on a surface of a base material and a PVD (physical vapor deposition) hard layer of at least one layer formed on the nitrided hard layer by a PVD method. Deformation of the base material by collisions by solid particles is prevented and cracking of the coating is prevented. Thereby, the solid particle erosion resistance is secured, life of the solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coating can be increased and oxidation resistance and fatigue strength are enhanced.

  • Patent number: 7947381
    Abstract: The present invention provides parts of a rotation machine which effectively prevent particulates, such as silica, iron oxide, and other particles, contained in a gas to adhere to the rotating machines which work with the gases containing the particulates. An intermediated metal-plated film and a plated film containing fluorocarbon polymer particles provided on the intermediate metal-plated film are deposited on the surfaces of moving blades used in a steam turbine. The plated film containing the fluorocarbon polymer particles includes fluorocarbon polymer particles made of any of Ni-based metals and a plated matrix, and some of the fluorocarbon polymer particles are exposed at the surfaces of the plated matrix.

  • Publication number: 20090324405
    Abstract: An object is to provide a method for forming a superior corrosion-resistant plating layer by sealing penetrating pinholes formed in an electroless plating layer. There are provided a first plating step of performing electroless Ni—P plating on a base material (1); an etching step of etching a surface of a first plating layer (3) formed by the first plating step; and a second plating step of performing electroless Ni—P plating to form a second plating layer (5) on the first plating layer (3) processed by the etching step.

  • Publication number: 20090123737
    Abstract: A solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coat is provided by which a solid, particle erosion resistance is largely enhanced and a rotating member is given with an oxidation resistance without deteriorating a fatigue strength. Also, a rotating machine, such as a steam turbine, axial compressor or the like, applied with this coat is provided. The solid particle erosion resistant surface treated coat comprises a nitrided hard layer formed on a surface of base material and a PVD (physical vapor deposition) hard layer of at least one layer formed on the nitrided hard layer by a PVD method. The nitrided hard layer has a thickness of at least 30 ?m. The PVD hard layer has a total thickness of at least 10 ?m. Deformation of the base material by collisions by solid particles is prevented and crack of the coat comprising the nitrided hard layer formed on the base material and the PVD hard layer formed on the nitrided hard layer is prevented.
