  • Bond or overlay MCrAIY-coating
    Patent number: 6924045
    Abstract: It is disclosed a bond or overlay MCrAlY-coating for the use within a high temperature environment for the protection of the base alloy of turbine blades and vanes. The MCrAlY-coating having a ? or ?/??-structure comprises a dispersion of ?-NiAl and/or ?/?-MCrAlY particles. This provides a reservoir of aluminum reservoir to coatings wherein the reservoir replenish the aluminum lost due to oxidation and interdiffusion during service. The ?-NiAl and/or ?/?-MCrAlY is the aluminum reservoir and is applied by mixing appropriate powders with ? or ?/?? powders.
