Abstract

Disclosed is a process for producing an alloyed, in particular multiple-alloyed aluminide or chromide layer on a component by alitizing or chromizing. First a green compact layer ( 9 ) consisting of a binder ( 5 ) and metal particles ( 7 ) is deposited on the component ( 1 ) to be coated and then alitizing or chromizing is carried out, binder and metal particles being deposited on the component separately from one another, first the binder and then the metal particles. A turbine component produced by this process is also disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A process for producing an aluminide layer or a chromide layer on a component by alitizing or chromizing, wherein the process comprises depositing a green compact layer of a binder and metal particles for forming an aluminide layer or a chromide layer on the component and thereafter carrying out alitizing or chromizing, the binder and the metal particles being deposited on the component separately from one another by first applying the binder by dip coating to form a binder layer, and then depositing the metal particles on or in the binder layer by dusting or embedding the component in a powder bed of the metal particles, applying binder and depositing metal particles being carried out two or more times.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the green compact layer is subjected to a heat treatment after the last metal particles have been applied.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the green compact layer is subjected to a heat treatment after each time binder has been applied and metal particles have been deposited thereafter.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the green compact layer is subjected to a heat treatment after applying binder and depositing metal particles has been repeated two or more times.

5. The process of claim 1 , wherein the component comprises at least one of a cavity and an undercut.

6. The process of claim 5 , wherein the binder is applied by introducing the binder into a cavity and the metal particles are deposited by introducing a powder of the metal particles to be deposited into the cavity.

7. The process of claim 1 , wherein the deposited green compact layer has a thickness of from 0 μm to 150μm.

8. The process of claim 1 , wherein each sublayer produced by applying binder and depositing metal particles two or more times has a thickness of from 3 μm to 5 μm.

9. The process of claim 1 , wherein a graduated green compact layer is deposited by using a different metal powder when repeating a deposition of metal powder.

10. The process of claim 1 , wherein the metal particles comprise two or more types of particles which differ from each other in terms of chemical composition.

11. The process of claim 1 , wherein the component is a turbine component for a gas turbine.

12. The process of claim 1 , wherein the component is a turbine component for an aero engine.

13. The process of claim 1 , wherein the turbine component is a turbine blade or vane.

14. A turbine component comprising at least one cavity, wherein a chromide layer has been formed on a surface of the turbine component in the cavity by the method of claim 1 .

15. The turbine component of claim 14 , wherein the turbine component is a turbine blade or vane.

16. The turbine component of claim 15 , wherein the turbine blade or vane comprises one or more cooling passages.

17. The turbine component of claim 14 , wherein a graduated chromide layer has been formed on a surface of the turbine component in the cavity.

18. The turbine component of claim 17 , wherein the turbine component is a turbine blade or vane.

19. A turbine component comprising at least one cavity, wherein a graduated aluminide layer has been formed on a surface of the turbine component in the cavity by the method of claim 1 .

20. The turbine component of claim 19 , wherein the turbine component is a turbine blade or vane.
