Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An abradable coating for application to a gas turbine engine part is formed from a titanium aluminide alloy, a filler material, and porosity. The coating may be applied to a part such as a casing made from a titanium alloy.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An abradable coating composition for application to a gas turbine engine part, said abradable coating composition comprising a titanium aluminide alloy wherein said titanium aluminide alloy comprises from 35 to 55 at % titanium, from 45 to 65 at % aluminum, from 1.0 to 3.0 at % chromium, and from 1.0 to 5.0 at % nickel, a filler material, and porosity. 2. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said titanium aluminide alloy is present in an amount from 25 to 45 vol %. 3. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said porosity is from 1% to 25% by volume. 4. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said porosity is from 1% to 10% by volume. 5. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said filler and said porosity are present in an amount of at least 33 vol %. 6. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said filler and said porosity are present in an amount in the range of from 50 to 75 vol %. 7. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said filler and said porosity are present in an amount in the range of from 60 to 70 vol %. 8. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said filler is a soft or friable filler material. 9. The abradable coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein said filler is hexagonal boron nitride. 10. A turbine engine component comprising: a substrate; an abradable coating applied to said substrate; and said abradable coating comprising a titanium aluminide alloy wherein said titanium aluminide alloy comprises from 35 to 55 at % titanium, from 45 to 65 at % aluminum, from 1.0 to 3.0 at % chromium, and from 1.0 to 5.0 at % nickel, a filler material, and porosity. 11. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said titanium aluminide alloy is present in an amount from 25 to 45 vol %. 12. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said porosity is up to 25% by volume. 13. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said porosity is less than 10% by volume. 14. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said filler and said porosity are present in an amount of at least 33 vol %. 15. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said filler and said porosity are present in an amount in the range of from 50 to 75 vol %. 16. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said filler and said porosity are present in an amount in the range of from 60 to 70 vol %. 17. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said filler is a soft or friable filler material. 18. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said filler is hexagonal boron nitride. 19. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said substrate is formed from a titanium alloy. 20. The turbine engine component according to claim 10 , wherein said turbine engine component comprises a casing.
