Abstract

A turbine part, such as a turbine blade or a distributor fin, for example, including a substrate made of superalloy based on monocrystalline nickel, including rhenium and/or ruthenium, and having a γ′-NisAI phase that is predominant by volume and a γ-Ni phase, the part also including a sublayer made of metal superalloy based on nickel covering the substrate, wherein the sublayer has a γ′-NisAI phase that is predominant by volume and wherein the sublayer has an average atomic fraction of aluminium of between 0.15 and 0.25, of chromium of between 0.03 and 0.08, of platinum of between 0.01 and 0.05, of hafnium of less than 0.01 and of silicon of less than 0.01. A process for manufacturing a turbine part including a step of vacuum deposition of a sublayer made of a superalloy based on nickel having predominantly by volume a γ′-NisAI phase, on a substrate made of superalloy based on nickel including rhenium and/or ruthenium.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A turbine part comprising:
a substrate made of a single-crystal nickel-base superalloy, comprising at least one of rhenium or ruthenium, and having a γ′-Ni 3 Al phase which is predominant in volume and a γ-Ni phase, and
a bond coat made of a nickel-based metal superalloy covering the substrate,
wherein the bond coat has a γ′-Ni 3 Al phase of majority volume,
wherein the bond coat has an average atomic fraction:
of aluminum between 0.15 and 0.25;
of chromium between 0.03 and 0.08;
of platinum between 0.01 and 0.05;
of hafnium less than 0.01 and
of silicon less than 0.01, and

wherein the part comprises a protective layer of aluminum oxide covering the bond coat.

2. The part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bond coat has the γ′-Ni 3 Al phase greater than 95% by volume.

3. The part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bond coat has the γ′-Ni 3 Al phase and a β-NiAlPt phase.

4. The part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bond coat has the γ′-Ni 3 Al phase and a γ-Ni phase.

5. The part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rhenium mass fraction of the substrate is greater than or equal to 0.04.

6. The part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bond coat further comprises at least one element selected from cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium, and tantalum.

7. The part as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a thermally insulating ceramic layer covering the protective layer.

8. The part as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the bond coat is between 5 μm and 50 μm.

9. A turbine blade comprising:
a turbine part comprising
a substrate made of a single-crystal nickel-base superalloy, comprising at least one of rhenium or ruthenium, and having a γ′-Ni 3 Al phase which is predominant in volume and a γ-Ni phase, and
a bond coat made of a nickel-based metal superalloy covering the substrate,

wherein the bond coat has a γ′-Ni 3 Al phase of majority volume,
wherein the bond coat has an average atomic fraction:
of aluminum between 0.15 and 0.25;
of chromium between 0.03 and 0.08;
of platinum between 0.01 and 0.05;
of hafnium less than 0.01 and
of silicon less than 0.01, and

wherein the part comprises a protective layer of aluminum oxide covering the bond coat.

10. A gas turbine engine comprising a turbine comprising the turbine blade as claimed in claim 9 .

11. A process for manufacturing a turbine part comprising:
a step of vacuum deposition of a bond coat of a nickel-based superalloy having a γ′-Ni 3 Al phase predominantly in volume, on a substrate made of a nickel-based superalloy comprising at least one of rhenium or ruthenium, the bond coat having an average atomic fraction:
of aluminum between 0.15 and 0.25;
of chromium between 0.03 and 0.08;
of platinum between 0.01 and 0.05;
of hafnium less than 0.01 and
of silicon less than 0.01; and

a step of formation of a protective layer of aluminum oxide covering the bond coat.

12. The process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the deposition is carried out by a method selected from physical vapor deposition, thermal spraying, Joule evaporation, pulsed laser ablation and sputtering.

13. The process as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the bond coat is deposited by at least one of co-spraying or co-evaporating metal targets.
