  • Patent number: 5209645
    Abstract: A gas turbine bucket and a gas turbine nozzle applied with a ceramic coating comprises a base material of the bucket and the nozzle made of a heat resisting alloy; a plurality of coating layers for the front portion consisting of, a mixture layer which comprises a ceramic material and metal and which is formed on the base material, an alloy layer which comprises an alloy material exhibiting excellent resistance to high temperature oxidation and corrosion and which is formed on the mixture layer, and a ceramic layer which comprises ceramic material and formed on the alloy layer. Such ceramic coating has a satisfactory thermal barrier effect on the base material of the gas turbine bucket and nozzle.

  • Patent number: 5000004
    Abstract: A gas trubine combustor includes a main body with a combustion portion into which mixture of fuel and air is supplied. The gas mixture is burned through a catalytic reaction at a catalyst body arranged in the main body. The gas mixture passed through the catalyst body is introduced into a gas phase combustion portion provided in the main body. Between the catalyst body and the gas phase combustion portion is arranged a dividing unit which has a plurality of branch passages. The gas mixture passed through the catalyst body is divided by the dividing unit into a plurality of gas streams flowing through the branch passages. Each of the gas streams is mixed with fuel supplied from a fuel supply tube.

  • Patent number: 4966820
    Abstract: A ceramic-coated heat resisting alloy member comprises a base metal mainly composed of at least one of nickel, cobalt and iron; a mixture layer which is deposited on the external surface of the base metal and which comprises a ceramics and a metal; an alloy layer which is formed between the mixture layer and a ceramic coating layer formed as an outermost layer and which comprises an alloy material exhibiting excellent resistance to high temperature oxidation and excellent resistance to high temperature corrosion. It is therefore possible to prevent any high temperature oxidation and high temperature corrosion of the mixture layer and to enable the mixture layer to have a satisfactory function of reducing the thermal stress produced between the ceramic coating layer and the base metal. The ceramic coating thus has a satisfactory thermal barrier effect on the base metal.
