Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to an abrasive material including a nickel aluminide intermetallic phase, in particular a beta nickel aluminide (β-NiAl) intermetallic phase with a Laves phase, as a matrix for abrasive particles. It also relates to a method manufacturing an abrasive material and a blade in a turbomachinery with an abrasive material.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . Abrasive material comprising a nickel aluminide intermetallic phase, in particular a beta nickel aluminide (β-NiAl) intermetallic phase with a Laves phase, as a matrix for abrasive particles. 2 . Abrasive material according to claim 1 , wherein the Laves phase has a C14 hexagonal phase structure. 3 . Abrasive material according to claim 1 , wherein the Laves phase comprises Ta, in particular in the form of τ 1 NiAlTa. 4 . Abrasive material according to claim 3 , wherein the overall content of Ta in the material is between 1 at. % and 20 at. %, in particular between 1, 5 to 3 at. % or 6 and 9 at. %. 5 . Abrasive material according to claim 3 , wherein a quaternary addition to the NiAlTa alloy is Cr, Mo, Nb, and/or V. 6 . Abrasive material according to claim 5 , wherein the NiAlTa+Beta-NiAl phases comprises up to 7.5 at. % Cr. 7 . Abrasive material according to claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles comprise cubic boron nitride, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, zirconia and/or alumina-based oxides. 8 . Abrasive material according to claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particle is coated, in particular with Ti and/or Ni. 9 . Abrasive material according to claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles are vertically distributed in the matrix, in particular in the form of layers. 10 . Abrasive Material according to claim 1 , wherein the abrasive particles are stacked in a direction essentially perpendicular to the surface. 11 . Method for manufacturing an abrasive material according to claim 1 , wherein the matrix and the abrasive particles are deposited on a substrate in the same process step or wherein the matrix is deposited in a first process step, the abrasive particles are deposited in a subsequent second process step. 12 . Method according to claim 11 , wherein the substrate is heated or pre-heated for the deposition of the matrix and/or the abrasive particles. 13 . Method according to claim 11 , wherein the heating is effected by induction or high temperature lamps. 14 . Substrate, in particular a blade in a turbomachine with a tip coated with an abrasive material of at least claim 1 .
