    The invention is directed to systems and methods for protecting a metal article to reduce power losses due to erosion and corrosion.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    Compressors, such as axial compressors, centrifugal compressors and rotary compressors often cause problems due to a drop in work due to erosion of the turbine blades used in the compressor system. Turbines are formed with steps of turbine blades, including blades and vanes. Performance tends to fall off as the blades corrode or become soiled over time. The blades tend to accumulate deposits such as iron oxide particles and other oxide foreign matter from gases and liquids at the rear stages of the compressor turbine. The damage of the blade surfaces by liquids and gases during operation and / or by reactions with particle deposits can be done quickly. Such area damage may not be easy to remove with a water wash, as the deposits may not be water soluble.
    It is well known in the industry that the damage can be mitigated by protecting the blade surfaces using various coating techniques. For example, blade surfaces are known to be protected by mere coating of the blade. U.S. Application No. 2007/0261965 describes a composition and a method for producing a coated article having high temperature resistance. The coated article is formed by electrolytic deposition of one or more metal or metal alloy layers on a substrate and heat treatment of the coated substrate such that the layers and the substrate partially and / or completely diffuse into one another.
    It is believed that due to the potential corrosive and erosive work environment for a turbine blade, the application of a hard, oxidation resistant coating may be desirable. In addition, down time conditions in a compressor can lead to possible moisture precipitation in a corrosive environment, further aggravating blade surface damage. Known solutions to the problem include discussions in U.S. Pat. Patent application. Pub. Nos 2009/0 297 720 and 2011/0 165 433.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    The present invention provides an alternative approach to the conventional protective coating on a metal surface, such as a turbine blade. One embodiment of the present invention provides a reinforced monolayer metal matrix coating which may be erosion and corrosion resistant.
    It is believed that it is advantageous to coat the generally electropositive (i.e., cathodic) metal base substrate with an electronegative (i.e., anodic) coating to provide a suitable protective coating for a turbine blade exposed to erosive and corrosive environments. Conventional protective coatings for turbines can include two coating layers: a base protection coating and a hard layer that provides protection against erosion.
    The present invention provides a single-layer coating that has both features to protect the base substrate against both erosion and corrosion. Specifically, the present invention provides a protective coating layer containing only two components, sacrificial metal binder particles and hard particles.
    As used in the present specification and claims, the terms are defined as follows.
    "Victim" / "sacrificial" is defined as a feature of a metal or metal alloy that may be more electronegative (ie anodic) than the base substrate such that the anodic metal or anodic metal alloy is first attacked by corrosives in a corrosive environment becomes.
    "Hard particles" are defined as a plurality of particles of a compound that can withstand high velocity collision of materials that can erode a turbine blade during operation and have a Mohs hardness of about 5 to 10.
    "Metal matrix" is a chemical matrix that is consistently continuous in composition.
    "Metal binder" is defined as a metal or metal alloy material which is a monolithic material and can form a metal matrix.
    "Base substrate" is defined as a metal base material that can be used for a turbine blade, such as a stainless steel 403CB + base material and the like.
    "Anodic" is defined as a feature of a material that has an electrochemical potential that is more electronegative than the particular material with which it is compared.
    "Cathodic" is defined as a feature of a material that has an electrochemical potential that is more electropositive than the particular material with which it is compared.
    Raw material is defined as a material to be used as a raw material in a subsequent process or device.
    "Powder" is defined as a bulk material composed of a multiplicity of particles in small sizes, such as very fine granular particles, which can flow freely when shaken or tilted.
    In the present invention, the sacrificial feature of a metal or metal alloy is defined as a feature of a metal or metal alloy that is more electronegative (ie anodic) than the base substrate such that the anodic metal or anodic metal alloy is first removed from the corrosives in a corrosive environment are attacked. As described, the anodic metal or the anodic alloy may have a sacrificial feature with respect to the base substrate.
    Any anodic metal and anodic metal alloy which may be sacrificial with respect to the base substrate may be used in the present invention as sacrificial metal binder particles, including metals and metal alloys such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc, aluminum alloys, cadmium, beryllium, nickel % Aluminum alloy and the like.
    Figure 1 provides a diagram showing various materials plotted against the electrochemical potential of each material. Aluminum, magnesium, zinc, beryllium, aluminum alloys and cadmium are at the top and are listed as the most electronegative (i.e., most anodic), and materials such as graphite, gold, platinum and titanium are listed as the most electropositive (i.e., most cathodic).
    The coating layer and the base substrate preferably have an electrochemical potential difference of about 50 mV to about 1000 mV, 50 mV to about 600 mV, in particular a difference of about 50 mV to about 400 mV, and especially a difference of about 50 mV to about 300 mV.
    As used in connection with the parameters of the present invention, the word "about" refers to a range of 10% above and below the specified parameter.
    If the electrochemical potential difference is higher than 1000 mV, then the metal binder particles may be too mildly corrosive to act as a protective agent for the base substrate. However, if the difference is less than 50 mV, the difference may be too borderline and the metal binder particles may not be sacrificed to the base material.
    It has been found that the hard particles contained in the composition of the coating do not significantly affect the electronegativity of the coating composition, and possibly the presence of hard particles does not affect the sacrificial features of the metal binder particles.
    Technical advantages of the coating and composition according to the present invention include:Providing a hard, inert coating that is anodic with respect to the base material, with improved resistance to erosion and deposition of corrosive and erosive material; providing enhanced corrosion protection of the metal objects during standstill;
    The ability to better maintain a smooth surface finish on metal objects;
    Providing a single-layer coating that allows easy manufacture and use, and
    The ability to be mechanically compatible with a cold or hot spray coating process for ease of application of the coating and the ability to perform a burn coating of the composition.
    Further commercial advantages of the coating and composition of the present invention may include:A coating option with massive costs andthe ability to better maintain a smooth surface finish that reduces power loss, which can result in up to 0.5% power loss reduction (for example, for a turbine with a capacity of 200 MW, the loss reduction can be 1 MW per hour or a $ 100 increase in yield per hour) be).
    A coating of the present invention which provides the above-mentioned advantages comprises a coating using a sacrificial metal matrix hard particle composition. The composition contains only a plurality of sacrificial metal binder particles, such as anodic metal or metal alloy particles that can form a metal matrix, and a plurality of hard particles embedded in the metal matrix to support and enhance the coating.
    As known in the art, a metal binder is a monolithic material that can form a metal matrix into which reinforcing particles can be embedded. A metal matrix is a chemical matrix of the metal binder which is continuous throughout the material, and the presently disclosed composition can form a coating having a metal matrix with reinforcing material embedded in the matrix. The reinforcing material may have a continuous or a discontinuous matrix bond.
    An embodiment of the composition of the present invention comprises a two part composition comprising (1) a variety of sacrificial metal binder particles using an anodic metal or anodic metal alloy, and (2) a plurality of hard particles.
    An embodiment of the coating may have a plurality of anodic metal binder particles with respect to a base substrate such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc, aluminum alloys, cadmium, beryllium, nickel 20% aluminum alloy, and the like. It is believed that anodic metal binder particles can promote the development of local anodic cells in the composition and coating. The anodic nature of the metal binder particles may be sacrificial with respect to a cathodic base metal substrate such that the metal binder particles are first attacked by the corrosive environment.
    An exemplary composition may include an amount of sacrificial metal binder particles that are from about 0.5% to about 30% by weight, more specifically from about 5% to about 20% by weight, more specifically from about 10% to about 15% by weight of the total weight of the composition.
    According to the present invention, hard particles used in the composition refer to materials that can potentially withstand high velocity impact of material that can erode a turbine blade during operation, such as high velocity water droplets, mud, sand, and the like. The hard particles may have a Mohs hardness of about 5 to about 10, where 10 is the hardness of a diamond. In particular, the hard particles may have a Mohs hardness of from about 6.5 to about 9, more preferably from about 7.5 to about 8.5.
    In one embodiment, hard particles used in the composition may be a plurality of the same or different particles, and the composition may contain an amount of hard particles ranging from about 70% to 99.5% by weight %, specifically from about 75% to 90%, more specifically from about 80% to 85%, by weight of the total weight of the composition.
    Examples of hard particles include tungsten carbide, molybdenum carbide, titanium nitride, titanium boride, chromium carbide, chromium oxide, silicon carbide, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, boron nitride, magnesium boride, magnesium nitride, magnesium oxide, aluminum nitride, aluminum carbide, aluminum oxide, aluminum boride, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, aluminum titanium oxide and any transition metal carbide , Transition metal oxide and transition metal nitride, which may be anodic with respect to a conventional base metal material used for a turbine blade in a compressor, and a combination thereof.
    The hard particles may have an average particle size ranging from about 0.5 micron to about 3 microns, more preferably from about 1 micron to about 2.3 microns, most preferably from about 1.5 to about 2 microns.
    In an exemplary composition, a plurality of hard particles comprise chromium carbide particles having a particle size of about 0.5 to about 3.0 microns. The chromium carbide has a primary carbide content of about 50% of the chromium carbide such that hard chromium carbide particles can be densely distributed to ensure that the particles impart a desirable hardness to the coating.
    In one embodiment, a composition is provided in the form of a raw material powder containing sacrificial metal binder particles and hard particles. An exemplary process for producing a raw material powder comprises:Preparing a plurality of sacrificial metal binder particles in particulate form;Production of a large number of hard particles in particulate form;Mixing the sacrificial metal binder particles and the hard particles in a liquid medium to bond the sacrificial metal binder particles and the hard particles together to produce a plurality of bound particles;Separating the plurality of bound particles from the liquid medium to produce a raw material powder; andDrying of the particle mass.
    In one embodiment, the liquid medium may be an inorganic medium that promotes binding of the sacrificial metal binder particles and the hard particles. In another embodiment, the liquid medium may be an organic medium to avoid combustion while mixing potentially combustible metal binder particles and hard particles. In a preferred embodiment, aluminum particles are used as metal binders reinforced by a plurality of hard particles, and aluminum particles and hard particles are mixed together in an organic liquid medium.
    The particles may be joined by mechanical alloy or agglomerate of the particles in a mixer such as a shaker mixer. There may be no chemical bonding between the particles. After bonding, the bonded particles may be dried to approximately 600 ° C by the use of spray-drying techniques or by sintering the bonded particles.
    In one embodiment, the resulting raw material powder may be present in a flowable spherical powder form having a powder size of about 5 to 60 microns in diameter, more preferably about 10 to 45 microns in diameter, and most preferably about 15 to 25 microns in diameter.
    The raw material powder of the present invention may be used as a stock material in a cold spray process or a hot spray process to apply a reinforced metal matrix coating to a metal surface such as a stainless steel turbine blade made of 403CB + stainless steel material. It is believed that the reinforced metal matrix coating is oxidation resistant and anodic with respect to a base substrate to be coated.
    A method of coating a base substrate using the raw material powder of the present invention comprises:Production of a raw material powder comprising a plurality of Opfermetallbinderpartikeln and a plurality of hard particles andSpraying a base substrate with the raw material powder to form a coating on a surface of the base substrate.
    For example, a conventional 403CB + steel base material may have an electrochemical potential of about -400 mV. In one embodiment, the anodic coating to be applied to the base material may have a composition containing an aluminum-based alloy having an electrochemical potential of about -1000 mV and being reinforced with a dispersion of a plurality of hard particles, as for example Example chromium carbide, silicon carbide, chromium oxide or alumina particles. The electrochemical potential difference between the base material and the reinforced metal matrix coating is preferably from about 50 mV to 1000 mV, more preferably from about 100 mV to 600 mV, most preferably from about 150 mV to 300 mV.
    The reinforced metal matrix coating may have the ability to withstand a temperature exposure of at least about 900 ° F, especially at least about 1000 ° F, more preferably at least about 1050 ° F.
    In one embodiment, the raw material powder may be applied to a metal surface using a cold spray coating process.
    As known in the art, a cold spray coating process uses raw material powder particles, typically between 10 and 50 microns in size, and the particles are accelerated by pressurized gas to very high speeds, for example, between 200 and 1500 m / s. The particles can be heated moderately to a higher temperature during the spraying process. Upon impact on a metal substrate, the particles undergo extreme and rapid plastic deformation, which enables the particles to bond to the exposed metal surfaces. It is believed that a fine balance of particle size, density, temperature and rate may be important to achieve a desired coating. The particles remain in a solid state and are relatively cold during the coating process, so that the particles do not melt in the coating process.
    Advantages of the reinforced metal matrix coating composition employed in a cold coating process of the present invention can be demonstrated using the exemplary embodiments prepared and tested below.
    Fig. 2 shows an electronic image of an exemplary raw material powder 200 comprising only sacrificial metal binder particles, such as aluminum particles and hard particles, including silicon, chromium, nickel, tungsten particles, and the like. The particles used to make the raw material powder may be spherical. The raw material powder 200 has been mixed for about 4 hours in a shaker mixer. Inside a raw material powder of one embodiment, there may be a plurality of anodic islands 202. Anodic islands 202 may be formed from the sacrificial metal binder particles, including aluminum particles, with hard particles embedded in the interior and surrounding the sacrificial metal binder particles.
    3 provides an enlarged view of an example commodity powder 300 at 1.00 KX magnification. The picture shows larger aluminum particles 301, which are distributed through the entire raw material powder 300. The aluminum particles 301 may be flattened at an angle during the mixing process and contain some hard particles 302 that have been physically embedded in the aluminum particles 301 during mixing.
    Fig. 4 provides an enlarged view of an exemplary raw material powder having a 5.00 KX magnification. It can be seen that the aluminum particles 401 have grooves and islands, and the spherical hard particles 402 can be set in the aluminum particle 401 in the physical sense when they are smaller.
    In one embodiment, the exemplary raw material powder to be used in a cold spray process may include metal and metal alloy particles that are larger than the hard particles.
    For a cold spraying process, it is believed that it may be desirable for the particles to reach a uniform velocity so that the raw material powder particles receive uniform plastic deformation. However, as known in the art, for example, aluminum particles may be less dense than the hard particles.
    In order to compensate for the density difference and achieve a uniform velocity of the particles, it may be desirable to use aluminum particles whose particle size is greater than the particle size of the hard particles used in the same composition. Likewise, other metal or metal alloy particles having a lower density than the hard particles may also be used in a composition and desirably have a larger size than the hard particles.
    The less dense metal or metal alloy particles such as aluminum particles may be 2, 3, 4 or 5 times larger than the size of the hard particles.
    Fig. 5 provides a cross-sectional view of a cold sprayed coating 502 on a metal base substrate 501 using an exemplary composition comprising aluminum particles and hard particles. From Fig. 5 it can be seen that the coating 502 has bonded to base substrate 501 by plastic deformation of the aluminum particles and hard particles at an interface 504 between coating 502 and substrate 501. Plastic deformation of particles may allow the coating to bond well to the base substrate.
    It can be seen that at the interface 504 hard particles are embedded in the plastically deformed aluminum particles. Even in the case of a break in the coating which bonds the corrosive media to the base material, i. forms a defect 503, enough aluminum particles are present at the defective sites to form an anodic island and protect the base material from corrosion.
    In an exemplary embodiment comprising 10% by weight of the aluminum particles and 90% by weight of the hard particles, prior to coating, the collective hard particles were measured and exhibited a hardness of about 914 HV0.3 without the aluminum particles. After coating, the total coating hardness (including aluminum particles) was measured to be approximately 871 HV0.3. Preferably, a coating with sacrificial particles and hard particles has a measured hardness of> 1000 HV.
    Fig. 6 shows a photograph of an exemplary coated article 600 employing a raw material powder composition of 10 wt% aluminum particles and 90 wt% hard particles as described above. It can be seen that the coated article 700 has a uniformly coated outer surface.
    The coated article 600 was subsequently tested using a salt fog test to mimic a potential corrosive environment that may be exposed to a turbine blade. A salt spray test exposes samples to a moist, saline atmosphere and determines the corrosivity of the sample under such conditions. The coated article 600 was subjected to 143.47 hours of stress in the salt spray test. FIG. 7 shows a photograph of the tested coated article 700 after the salt spray test. It can be observed that the coated article 700 tested has a layer of white powder.
    Fig. 8 also shows an enlarged and detailed photograph of a portion of the coated article 700 shown in Fig. 7. A layer of white powder is seen on the surface of the coated article 700 being tested and no rust on the tested one coated article 700 observed after the salt spray test. It is assumed that the white powder is aluminum hydroxide precipitated from the coated article 700 tested.
    It is believed that during the salt fog test, the sacrificial metal binder particles (i.e., aluminum particles) reacted with the moist, saline atmosphere to form aluminum hydroxide. Since aluminum hydroxide has formed visibly without rusting, it is therefore believed that the base metal substrate is protected against the corrosive environment by the sacrificial properties of the aluminum particles which first react with the corrosive environment. It is believed that by the salt spray test, the 10% aluminum composition has proven that the coating is capable of operating with the advantages described above in connection with the present invention.
    Another exemplary embodiment comprising 20% by weight of aluminum particles and 80% by weight of hard particles was prepared and tested in the same manner as described above.
    Before coating, the collective hard particles were measured and showed a hardness of about 914 HV0.3 without the aluminum particles. After coating, the total coating hardness was measured to be about 821 HV0.3, which is lower than the hardness measured for the 10 weight percent aluminum particle coating (measured about 871 HV0.3).
    Fig. 9 is a photograph of a coated embodiment article 900 using the described raw material powder composition of the invention. It can be observed that the coated article 900 has a uniformly coated outer surface.
    The coated articles 900 were also tested using a salt fog test. The coated article 900 was subjected to the same salt spray test as the coated article 600 described above for FIG. The coated article 900 was exposed to a salt spray test for 143.47 hours. Fig. 15 shows a photograph of the coated article 1000 tested after the salt spray test. It is observed that the coated article 1000 tested has a layer of white powder on the surface. No rust is seen on the coated article 1000 tested.
    It is assumed that like the tested coated article 700, the white powder is aluminum hydroxide deposited from the coated article 900. It is also believed that a lack of rust formation with formation of the white powder layer on the coated article 1000 tested proves that the aluminum particles in the protective coating can have sacrificial properties.
    Alternatively, a thermal spray coating process may be used to produce a protective coating on a substrate metal. A thermal spray coating process is a coating process in which molten (or heated) materials are sprayed onto a surface. Exemplary thermal spray coating methods that may be employed using the raw material powder of the present invention include high velocity oxygen fuel spraying (HVOF), plasma spraying, and flame shock spraying.
    In one embodiment, the raw material powder may be used as a thermal spray raw material using the HVOF process. The HVOF coating process can ensure partial melting of the Al-based alloy with desirable partial decomposition of the hard particles such as the chromium carbides into separate chromium and carbon particles in the binder to form chromium-rich islands in the resulting metal matrix. The density of the hard particles may allow for better passivation on the surface of the metal article. In another embodiment, another thermal spray process may also be used to apply the hard anodic composition to the metal article, including plasma spraying and thermal spraying.
    After the sacrificial metal binder particles such as aluminum particles have been mixed with hard particles (such as chromium carbide or chromium nitride or chromium boride), the prepared particle mixture can be sprayed onto a metal substrate surface using the HVOF process. As a result of the high temperature, the hard particles can decompose, release chromium particles and thereby embed chrome particles in the aluminum matrix. If aluminum is alloyed with other particles, such as chromium particles, the electrochemical difference between the matrix and the base material can go from> 900 mV to less than 600 mV, less than 400 mV, and about 400 mV to 300 mV. While the anodic nature of the coating may be preserved, the potential differences that drive corrosion rates during operation may decrease and thus maintain the combination of anodicity and corrosion resistance.
    In another embodiment, a reinforced metal matrix coating may be formed on a metal surface by using an adhesive tape comprising a composition of aluminum alloy and hard particles. An exemplary process for making the reinforced metal matrix coating as an adhesive tape comprises:Providing a precursor layer containing binder polymers. The precursor layer may contain Sn powder as a sintering aid to allow a diffusion bonding of the Al-based alloy and Sn on the base metal article;Application of a layer of raw material powder on the precursor layer.
    The produced tape may be applied to the surface of a metal article, such as a stainless steel turbine blade, by a method comprising:Placing one or more layers of the produced tape on the surface of the metal article andBurning the tape to burn off the polymer contained in the belt and to allow a diffusion bond of Al and Sn on the surface of the metal article.
    A polymeric tape such as a polyvinyl acetate with a self-adhesive backing may be sprinkled with the desired composite powder comprising hard particles and anodic metal additives, e.g. Contains sacrificial metal binder particles, along with a low-temperature brazing powder. The tape and the particles can be subjected to a massive pressure rollers so that the powders are anchored mechanically to the PVA tape with self-adhesive backing. The resulting tape can be applied to an air foil surface in a water turbine.
    After applying the composition to the metal surface, for example by the cold spray coating method, the thermal spray coating method, or applying an exemplary adhesive tape to the metal surface, the coating can be mechanically finished by the use of drag-grinding techniques, such as a series of drums exposed to progressively finer abrasives. The finished coating can have a surface roughness of about 0 to 45 microinches, more preferably about 5 to 30 microinches, most preferably about 10 to 25 microinches.
    While the invention has been described in conjunction with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment but, on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements which conform to the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
