 Yttrium enriched aluminide coating for superalloys

Details
Inventors: Gupta, Dinesh K.;
Assignee: United Technologies Corporation (Hartford, CT)
Primary Examiner: Lechert, Jr.; Stephen J.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Rashid; James M.

A protective coating system for superalloys is described. The coating is an yttrium enriched aluminide, and can be formed by aluminizing an MCrAlY coated superalloy, wherein during the aluminizing process, aluminum diffuses completely through the MCrAlY coating and into the substrate. The coating system exhibits desirable oxidation resistance and resistance to thermal fatigue cracking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An article having resistance to oxidation and thermal mechanical fatigue comprising a substrate selected from the group consisting of Ni and Co base superalloys, and an aluminide coating 0.
001-0.
004 inches thick diffused with the substrate, wherein the coating has an outer zone and a diffusion zone inward thereof, the outer zone consisting essentially of, by weight percent, 21-35 Al, 0.
2-2 Y, 5-30 Cr, up to 40 Co, with the balance nickel, and the diffusion zone having a lesser concentration of Al than the outer zone and a greater concentration of Al than in the substrate.
2.
The article of claim 1, wherein the Al concentration in the diffusion zone decreases as a function of thickness.
3.
An article having resistance to oxidation and thermal mechanical fatigue comprising a substrate selected from the group consisting of Ni and Co base superalloys, and an aluminide coating 0.
001-0.
004 inches thick diffused with the substrate, wherein the coating has an outer zone and a diffusion zone inward thereof, the outer zone consisting essentially of, by weight percent, 21-35 Al, 0.
2-2 Y, 5-30 Cr, up to 40 Co, with the balance Ni, and the diffusion zone being less oxidation resistant than the outer zone and less oxidation resistant than the substrate, and wherein said Y in said outer zone improves alumina scale adherence, and said diffusion zone reduces the propagation rate of cracks through said coating and into said substrate.
4.
The article of claim 1, wherein the coating thickness is about 0.
002-0.
003 inches.
5.
A process for producing a coated Ni or Co base superalloy article having resistance to oxidation and thermal fatigue, comprising the steps of: (a) applying a 0.
0005-0.
003 thick MCrAlY overlay coating to the superalloy surface; and (b) diffusing Al through the MCrAlY coating and into the superalloy substrate so as to form an outer coating zone containing about 21-35 weight percent Al and a diffusion zone between the outer zone and the substrate, wherein the diffusion zone has a lesser concentration of Al than the outer zone and a greater concentration of Al than the substrate, and wherein the final coating microstructure resembles an aluminide coating and the combined thickness of the outer coating zone and diffusion zone is about 0
