Abstract

The present invention relates to a coating material for the production of an anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer, which material comprises metal powder and a phosphate-ion-containing solution as the binder, the metal powder being at least partially coated with Si or Si alloys or the binder consisting of phosphoric acid and metal phosphates and being substantially free of chromates. The invention further relates to a method for producing an anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer, comprising the following steps: Providing a coating material, such as indicated above, applying the coating material to a component surface on which the anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer is to be created, and drying and/or hardening by way of a heat treatment at a first temperature.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A coating material for producing a corrosion protection layer and/or adhesion promoter layer, wherein the coating material comprises metal powder and a solution containing phosphate ions as binder, and wherein the metal powder comprises (a) from 60% to 99% of Al powder and (b) from 1% to 40% of Al powder coated with Si or Si alloys.

2. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the metal powder comprises Al-containing powder which comprises technical-grade aluminum or Al alloys.

3. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the metal powder comprises (a) from 65% to 90% of Al powder and (b) from 10% to 35% of Al powder coated with Si or Si alloys.

4. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the binder comprises from 1% to 10% of magnesium phosphate, from 1% to 10% of aluminum phosphate and from 80% to 90% of phosphoric acid.

5. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the coating material comprises from 5to 10 parts by weight of metal powder per 10parts by weight of binder.

6. The coating material of claim 1 , wherein the coating material comprises from 6to 8parts by weight of metal powder per 10parts by weight of binder.

7. A coating material for producing a corrosion protection layer and/or adhesion promoter layer, wherein the coating material comprises (i) a binder which consists of phosphoric acid and metal phosphates and is substantially free of chromates and (ii) metal powder comprising Al-containing powder which comprises technical-grade aluminum or Al alloys, from 60% to 99% of the powder being Al powder and from 1% to 40% of the powder being Al powder coated with Si or Si alloys.

8. The coating material of claim 7 , wherein the metal powder comprises from 65% to 90% of Al powder and from 10% to 35% of Al powder coated with Si or Si alloys.

9. The coating material of claim 7 , wherein the binder comprises from 1% to 10% of magnesium phosphate, from 1% to 10% of aluminum phosphate and from 80% to 90% of phosphoric acid.

10. The coating material of claim 7 , wherein the coating material comprises from 5to 10parts by weight of metal powder per 10parts by weight of binder.

11. The coating material of claim 7 , wherein the coating material comprises from 6to 8parts by weight of metal powder per 10parts by weight of binder.

12. A process for producing a corrosion protection layer and/or adhesion promoter layer, wherein the process comprises applying the coating material of claim 1 to a component area on which the corrosion protection layer and/or adhesion promoter layer is to be produced, followed by drying and/or curing the applied coating material with a heat treatment at a first temperature.

13. The process of claim 12 , wherein the process further comprises blasting a surface to be treated with particles prior to applying the coating material.

14. The process of claim 12 , wherein the first temperature ranges from 250° C. to 400° C.

15. The process of claim 14 , wherein a further heat treatment at a second temperature ranging from 500° C. to 600° C. is carried out.

16. The process of claim 12 , wherein the coating material is applied on an area of a steel component of a gas turbine or aircraft engine.

17. A process for producing a corrosion protection layer and/or adhesion promoter layer, wherein the process comprises applying the coating material of claim 7 to a component area on which the corrosion protection layer and/or adhesion promoter layer is to be produced, followed by drying and/or curing the applied coating material with a heat treatment at a first temperature.

18. The process of claim 17 , wherein the process further comprises blasting a surface to be treated with particles prior to applying the coating material.

19. The process of claim 17 , wherein the first temperature ranges from 250° C. to 400° C.

20. The process of claim 19 , wherein a further heat treatment at a second temperature ranging from 500° C. to 600° C. is carried out.
