Abstract: Novel multilayer aqueous slurries and coatings for hot corrosion protection of substrates are provided that exhibit improved resistance to type II hot corrosion while also being hexavalent chromium free. The compositions represent a notable departure and performance improvement from conventional coating systems utilized for hot corrosion protection.

Abstract: Polyurethane-based coatings which exhibit superior erosion and heat resistance combined with antifouling and chemical resistance that are useful for protection of metal components are provided. The coatings are characterized by enhanced particle erosion resistance and enhanced heat resistance and are derived from specific multicomponent slurry compositions.

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.
