Abstract:
Cooling steam delivery tubes extend axially along the outer rim of a gas turbine rotor for supplying cooling steam to and returning spent cooling steam from the turbine buckets. Because of the high friction forces at the interface of the tubes and supporting elements due to rotor rotation, a low coefficient of friction coating is provided at the interface of the tubes and support elements. On each surface, a first coating of a cobalt-based alloy is sprayed onto the surface at high temperature. A portion of the first coating is machined off to provide a smooth, hard surface. A second ceramic-based solid film lubricant is sprayed onto the first coating. By reducing the resistance to axial displacement of the tubes relative to the supporting elements due to thermal expansion, the service life of the tubes is substantially extended.

Abstract:
A method for forming an exterior surface of a high-temperature component, such as a blade or vane of a gas turbine engine. The method entails forming a shell by a powder metallurgy technique that yields an airfoil whose composition can be readily tailored for the particular service conditions of the component. The method generally entails providing a pair of inner and outer mold members that form a cavity therebetween. One or more powders and any desired reinforcement material are then placed in the cavity and then consolidated at an elevated temperature and pressure in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. Thereafter, at least the outer mold member is removed to expose the consolidated powder structure. By appropriately shaping the mold members to tailor the shape of the cavity, the consolidated powder structure has the desired shape for the exterior shell of a component, such that subsequent processing of the component does not require substantially altering the configuration of the exterior shell. The airfoil can be produced as a free-standing article or produced directly on a mandrel that subsequently forms the interior structure of the component. In one embodiment, an airfoil is configured to have double walls through which cooling air flows.
Abstract:
An aluminum or aluminum alloy surface which during use is exposed to sliding friction has a chemical conversion coating of mostly tin with 0.2-10.0 wt. % cobalt and 0.1 to 12 wt. % bismuth. For example, a swashplate of a swashplate type compressor may be conversion coated on at least part thereof, that is the part that during use contact the shoes. Preferably, the coating is between 0.8 to 2.5 microns thick. The coating on the swash plate permits the use of low silicon alloy aluminum without the need of metal plating or high finish polishing.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A lubrication system for heat medium supply part of gas turbine is provided to improve abrasion resistance life of parts in touch with each other, by providing first membrane of cobalt alloy piled on one of the pipes and on surface of pipe support and second membrane put on top of the first membrane base material in case of cutting off of rotation balance adjustment part. CONSTITUTION: A membrane with low friction coefficient is provided on contact surface of pipe and supporting parts(79), for instance, of enlarged land part(76) and bush(79). The first membrane is applied to inner surface of enlarged land part(76) and bush(79) contacting the former. Since the first membrane is coupled with nickel alloy of enlarged land(76) and bush(79) substantially at molecular level, it is composed of high-density cobalt system alloy, sheathed by spraying onto the surface at high temperature. After applying this first membrane, a machine finish is made on the surface to get smoothness. For the second membrane, ceramic system lubricant is sprayed onto the first membrane, and baked for specified time at specified temperature, then for specified time at lower temperature.

Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Reparatur eines Bauteils wie einer Turbinenschaufel. Dieses weist am Ende seiner Betriebszeit in einem oberflächennahen Bereich (12) beispielsweise eine Verarmung an Aluminium auf, wobei erfindungsgemäß eine Reparaturschicht (19) aufgebracht wird, in der Partikel (18) mit einem erhöhten Anteil an Aluminium enthalten sind. Durch eine nachfolgende Wärmebehandlung kann erreicht werden, dass es zu einem Konzentrationsausgleich an Aluminium zwischen der Reparaturschicht (19) und dem oberflächennahen Bereich (12) kommt, so dass der bei Neuteilen geforderte Gehalt an Aluminium wieder erreicht wird. Das Bauteil weist damit vorteilhaft Eigenschaften auf, die an diejenigen eines Neuteils fast heranreichen.
Abstract:
A coating material defined by a low coefficient of friction, wear resistant coating material is provided to the contacting surfaces of adjacent turbine blades in order to increase the vibration damping provided at the contacting surfaces. In particular, the coating material reduces the coefficient of friction at the adjacent contacting surfaces of snubber and/or shroud regions defined between turbine blades, where additional vibrational energy is absorbed by increased relative movement of the adjacent contacting surfaces. The coating material may be formed of a conventional wear resistant composition having an additive formed by a lubricating material.
